DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Croatia

As all Eyewitness guide books, this guide was superb: colorful and useful pictures of key places to see, interesting info, and my favorite: the phrase book that got Croatians thinking I actually spoke their language!

I've used the Eyewitness guides before and I am quite pleased with them. They provide excellent guidance for the areas covered. In this case I haven't gone on my Croatia trip yet, but will in two weeks, so I am not yet able to compare the guide with real life experience but I have read it and, as usual, the information in comprehensive and inviting.

If you understand the type of guides published by Eyewitness, you will be real happy with this purchase. As a future traveler to Croatia, I needed a book to help me with where to stay, where to eat and where to go for nightlife. For that, I looked to the Rough Guide Croatia (search on 1858285445) and Lonely Planet Croatia (search on 1864503327). These books have lots of text and lots of information! However, when I wanted a guide that explains the history of Croatia, detailed information on each sight that I'm visiting, and great pictures to boot, that's when I picked up this book. It does have a restaurant and accomodation section, but it's pretty small. I wouldn't rely solely on this book to plan your stay in Croatia...
