Lonely Planet Boston City Guide [With Pull-Out Map]

My qualifications to review: I've been to 24 countries and have a LP for each... plus, the city LPs. It's rare to have a bad LP. (Like, for instance, LP:Tokyo sucked. The author was def somebody's niece who was a wanna-be writer!) And this is yet another winner! Lovin' the Lonely!!! It even has an Itinerary Builder that is basically a graph. It lists the 'hoods, then 3 of the best sights, eating, and drinking in each 'hood. Never seen LP do that before but it's great!

Every time I travel, I have purchased Lonely Planet Travel guides. They offer accurate and "real time" facts about the place you're visiting, as well as the most complete information in comparison to other travel guides. The best travel companion.

I went to Boston in the middle of winter over the long-weekend. Without this book, I would have probably been lost and much colder than I was. This book covered the things I looked at and much more... and has given me the chance to think about going back to Boston in the summer or fall. The details on the hotels, the areas, the closest metro stations and the Boston in X days features are common to Lonely Planet books and are very useful.
