2.0 out of 5 stars New company, lots of content removed, January 17, 2010
This review is from: Let's Go Europe 2010: The Student Travel Guide (Paperback)
I was partial to the Let's Go series, primarily because the 2006 version kept me alive on my last backpacking trip to Europe. I'm looking to go back this summer and so I naturally sought the 2010 version. What I found was very disappointing.

A new company is producing the books and they appear to have cut back on the content big time. The 2010 Europe book is noticeably thinner in what appears to be a business ploy to get you to buy one of the other Let's Go region-specific books. Unfortunately for me there's no Let's Go Scandinavia, and the only book that even mentions Norway, Sweden, or Denmark (Let's Go Europe 2010) only has information for Oslo, Stockholm, and Copenhagen. That's it. They don't even bother with the quick and dirty one paragraph round up of smaller cities and towns at the end of the country section anymore. Sorry Stavanger, sorry Gothenburg.

I refrained from giving this book 1 star because it appears the other more "mainstream"...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars This Used to Be the Market Leader, Not Even Trying Anymore!, April 25, 2010

This review is from: Let's Go Europe 2010: The Student Travel Guide (Paperback)
I've still got a Let's Go Europe from 1999 which I found to be extremely helpful and by far better than Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and everything else that was around at the time. I travelled most of Europe in 2000/01 and it provided information on big cities, small towns, popular destinations and also suggested great places only residents usually go to which were better than the places a lot of the time the mass numbers of Australian, American, UK and other similar tourists frequented. Now I'm off to Europe again and unfortunately the 2010 edition has pretty much lost all but the capital or main city of each country, and a lot of European countries such as the Baltic countries for example aren't even in here. What an insult to the people who live there. This should be retitled, Let's Go to Britain, Germany, France and Italy and a Couple of Other Countries (but only the most popular cities of those countries). To call it Europe and pretend it represents that is ridiculous...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought Lonely Planet was written by college student not the other way around, February 10, 2010
This review is from: Let's Go Europe 2010: The Student Travel Guide (Paperback)
I admit, prior to getting a copy of Let's Go I swore by Lonely Planet. Needless to say I am converted. Having just graduated college I started planning my dream trip through Europe. The problem with all the other guides is that they were completely concentrated on just places to stay or visit. Let's Go is different, my intentions for Europe were to take in all the sights that the continent has to offer but also bask in the nightlife and social activities of each country. This is the perfect book for people who like to balance out their sightseeing by letting loose at night.

I already recommended the book to all my friends who are looking to travel. A must have!
