Lonely Planet has City and Out To Eat Guides. They are all about the experience so they focus on doing, being, getting there, and this means they have the best detailed information, including both inexpensive and really spectacular restaurants and hotels, out-of-the-way places, weird things to see and do, the list is endless.
The LP has much to recommend it. Here are the highlights:
- excellent maps with accurate scale and bilingual markers
- good breadth without sacrificing too much depth
- great for people who want to leave the tour groups and package tours behind (it's much cheaper to go solo!)
- a good selection of restaurants and hotels in different price ranges
- good descriptions of main attractions and how to get to them
- a pretty good language section with some of the survival words and phrases you will need

In planning a trip to Great Britain, I have purchased three travel books: Lonely Planet, Eyewitness and Frommer's. I would rank them in that order as far as helpfulness in planning our trip. Here are my reasons: I have found Lonely Planet's sections on "where to sleep" and "where to eat" are much more extensive, informative and include a wider variety in price ranges than the other two books. Also, they have more information on some of the smaller towns that are off the beaten track. I enjoyed the wonderful photographs, maps and illustrations in the Eyewitness Guide to Great Britain and if you can afford two books, it is a great way to prepare for what you will see. However, since I only have room for one travel book in my small suitcase, I plan to take the Lonely Planet book with me on our upcoming trip. |

This is an excellent guidebook. The only problem with it is the quality of the city maps, which are almost impossible to read. I saw an earlier edition in which they were in color and much better. They must have tried to save money in this edition by doing them in grayscale. |

We brought this with us thru London and Scotland. I used it to make bed and breakfast reservations before we left and it was most accurate. This is an excellent reference book to have and one which all others are gagged against. Highly recommended. |
