The Rough Guide to First-Time Europe 5

by Louis CasaBianca

Tried and tested by tens of thousands of first-time visitors, First-Time Europe "answers virtually anybody's 'what if?' questions," reckoned the Washington Post, and the Sunday Herald Sun noted "a swag of information that] even second-timers will find useful." Louis CasaBianca's thoughtful pre-departure advice and humorous anecdotes will help you find your way no matter what your age or budget. Dillon Sutherland (reader), Wise, VA, USA: "While planning my first time trip to Europe, I bought several guides... this one is the best introductory book of them all "

This was an awesome, information book about traveling in Europe. It gave me a lot of things to think about and consider, as well as some addresses of agents etc. and personal advice. It was also a really entertaining, I sped through it. The one problem with this book was that since it's an older edition (2003) some of the info is clearly outdated (unfortunately this is the only edition my local library has).

i consider myself a fairly seasoned traveler and i still found this book pretty informative and full of good info (a lot of which is very europe specific and would not have occurred to someone like me, who has backpacked quite a bit, but mostly throughout mexico). it also had some worthwhile tidbits pertaining to where you'd want to travel, which i didn't expect as well.

It was one of a couple of books I had before I set off backpacking to the UK. Very helpful stuff for the travelling noob and interesting information otherwise.

Excellent not snobbish
Do not get the updated and snobbish versions with a different author
