Customer Reviews

great book- but get something extra for Brussels
Rick Steve knows all- I am one of his many, many followers. i think his walks are great, and he gives really practical info as well as providing personal commentary that allows you to judge what sights are actually important to see.

However, If you are going to be in Brussels for more than three hours, get another book. It sort of comes across that Rick doesn't like Brussels, and tells you very little about what to do outside of eating in the Grand Place (the cities main tourist square) and indifferent (or downright hostile) descriptions of the attractions. AND the restaurant in the grand place he suggests stinks. worst meal i had in all of Europe. If I had realized rick's preferences ahead of time, I would have gotten another book.

happy travels!

Very Helpful
The book was concise and easy to follow for my trip to Belgium. I wasn't even planning on visiting Bruges, however, I did, so it came in really handy. The suggestions on places to eat were helpful, and the blurbs of historical sites and info on the chocolate shops were good as well. I was glad that I read the book and found out about the signature foods to have in Belgium. The food in Belgium is absolutely wonderful. Although the book suggests taking the train, Brussels is easily walkable. The maps look confusing, but once you're there, it all comes into place with the landmarks, depending on your map-reading ability.

Perfect resource!
We went to all 3 of these places with just this book. Great suggestions, guides, helpful hints. We had already booked hotels, so didn't use his hotel suggestions. If you're going (especially to Amsterdam) BUY THIS BOOK!
