The New York Times: 36 Hours Europe

Nice ideas for things to do we’d not previously thought about. Good quality book. Makes a nice coffee table book.

Nice coffee table book

Say you only have a long weekend or a week to holiday and you don’t want to be wasting time looking around for places to go/eat then you need this in your life! You don’t have to follow it word for word but it a fantastic guide to get the most out of your holiday! We also use it as a travel log, circling stuff we have done out of the book and writing comments. Every one in my family has a copy and friends are getting them too!

Great resource, covers a lot of ground. You wouldn't (likely) travel with it due to its weight but it's a great read for your coffee table

This was bought for a birthday gift - it is packed with useful information for planning short breaks and visiting interesting cities for the first time. Although I have been delighted with the book, I am less than delighted with the delivery by Amazon. Despite the fact that I was home when the delivery was made, the driver posted the book through the letter box. This is a weighty volume - I paid over £30 for this book. The impact of the package, in a light cardboard wrapping, hitting the floor damaged the corner of the hard back cover. Not a great look for a present.

Gifted for a friend - when they opened the present they said that pages had been ripped out of the book and the front cover was slightly damaged

Although a very interesting and well laid out guide, it’s worth noting that it concentrates on mainly where to eat and drink, majority of which (or at least the 5 or 6 cities that I’ve looked at so far) are expensive places. I was hoping that there was going to be more about things to see and do other than the odd 1 or 2.

Good price
