What can I say, Rick Steve's does it again with his latest update on Germany! I usually buy his country guide along with the matching Michelin Green Guide for any European Country we plan on visiting. An excellent combination! Make sure you always check for the latest edition of any tour guide... things change rapidly in Europe!

This review is from: Rick Steves' Germany 2010 with map (Paperback)
I wish I'd reviewed the table of contents prior to purchasing this book. I assumed a travel book to Germany would cover the 2nd biggest German city, Hamburg, but I was mistaken. The city of Hamburg isn't mentioned at all, he gives various tourist recommendations for the south and east, but I really wanted a book that would cover the country in general including Hamburg. This may be a 5 star book for others, but for me this was a bad purchase.
