Let's Go 2001: Europe (Let's Go)

I went on a backpacking trip through Europe a couple years ago and this book was great homework prior to the trip. We visited 6 countries in 16 days and this book helped us see as much as we could in the short time period. It was great to read up on each city as we traveled there by train.

I spent 6 weeks traveling Europe this Summer with this book and Europe on a Shoestring by Lonely Planet. While both were excellent books this one was far more usefull and had countless great suggestions on places to eat, stay, and things to do. I would HIGHLY reccomend this book as one to take with you if you are backpacking through Europe.

This guide rocks. If you really want to have the best time of your life, buy a copy of Party Europe as well. Let's Go tells you where to stay and eat, Party Europe will tell you how to have fun. Great combination. Can't wait to head back to the old country.

This book is the perfect base guide if you are travelling in Europe. If you are doing mostly Western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Britain, Netherlands, etc.) I would recomment Let's Go Western Europe. It is a little more in depth and it still has the main northern and Eastern Europe cities like Budapest, Prague, Helinsky, Copenhaguen, etc. This guide has every place you can imagine, plus very detailed information about travelling, lodging, sights, eating, and nightlife. If you want a good guide for parties, get Party Europe 2005. It is much more detailed but it only has 14 places. It will still be a good supplemental guide and the review of most places are about half a page, when in Let's go are about a tenth. I strongly recommend this book if you are going to be travelling in Europe. The Western Europe option is more expensive but it is going to be well worth it. Just to let you know, this guide includes: maps of most major cities; subway maps of a few; info on hostels, food, sights, and nightlife; sample itinerarie; and much otheruseful information.

This is the 5th Let's Go guide I purchase. I've been buying these guides since 1998. It's a MUST for every backpacker. It always gives you the coolest hostels and the most practical tips. I use to travel every year to different countries, and I don't feel safe to travel around without my Let's Go in my backpack. In my opinion, they are the best guides ever written, even better than the "lonely planet" ones. Just buy it!!
