Leaving on a three week trip to Germany this week. I found this book much less useful than the internet. I would hate to go back to a time when published traveler's guides were the best information we could get our hands on. I tend to want to see things that the ordinary traveler is not interested in and the book covers the top ten (at most) in any city. It also attempts to cover hotels and restaurants but at the high end of the scale. Again I don't travel that way.
