Frommer's Boston [With Giant Full-Color Foldout]

I have been to Boston twice within the past year. I absolutely love the city and am seriously considering a move their one day. I bought this travel guide before my second trip. (I wish I had read it before the first trip) The guide helped a lot, but it seems to be biased in favor of its advertising. I did, however, learn a lot more about the city after reading it. The book is definitely worth the money, but my suggestion is that if you are going to spend $2000 on a vacation, buy two or three different travel guides and compare notes. I would also suggest "TimeOut Boston" for a more edgy view of the city.

This is my first Frommer's guide book. The map is great and better than Fodor's. The accomodation section is definitely the best part of the whole book. Arthur Frommer is really a penny pincher. For twenty something travelers who want to go the night spots will have to ask around or go with Lonely Planet. This book is a 5 star for the budget consicious older folks and anybody traveling with families.
