Great Advice for Travelers
I will be going on a trip to Slovakia and the Czech Republic in the spring and purchased this book after getting Rick Steve's book about Prague. The Eastern Europe book is the only one he's written that includes Slovakia. I was very impressed with the Prague book and Rick didn't let me down with this one either. He includes detailed common sense advice about everything a traveler needs to know such as tipping, packing, where to stay, what to see, etc. I will use his books in the future for other trips!

Great guidebook
I went to Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, and wanted to get a good guidebook on this whole region, and got this one. It worked out well for me and had lots of good info on the areas I visited with the tour group. I like the way Rick Steves explains things, and he gives a good explanation of history, art, people, culture, religion, etc., of the places you visit, which I like. The other guidebooks I looked at seem not as complete.

Absolutely the best
I'm planning an extensive tour of Eastern Europe when the pandemic is past. I've got a number of guides for that region. I've been to more than half the countries in Eastern Europe. This book is by far the best available. The coverage is full and complete for many areas. If you only buy one book for planning in Eastern Europe make it this one.

Lightweight fair information concise and to the point.
Good weight. Fairly good information. Does not have an appendix to go look up certain info in quick hurry. Liked the walk around tours. Liked the historical information but not as much as I hoped. Biggest thing that they did talk about to some extent was tipping! Iโm from USA and was great starting help, but would love it to be boiled down into a quick look chart for most common activities. Itโs what we encountered the most over there.

Makes travel easier and smarter
We have relied on Rick Steves' books since first visiting Europe in 2006. His books have been hugely informative and filled with practical advice. Cannot recommend them highly enough. The only downside is obvious when you go to one of the restaurants he recommends you notice everyone else has a Rick Steves book as well. So it also pays to be adventurous and try places not mentioned in his books. BUT, I would never travel without his book - period!

Reliable recommendations
Steves' suggestions are excellent. We relied on his suggestions for private drivers two weeks ago in Medjugorje, Mostar and Sarajevo. Both firms/drivers were outstanding.Ten or so days ago, we went from Krakรณw, Poland to Wadowice, Poland to visit the birthplace and home of Karol Jรณzef Wojtyลa, later Pope John Paul II. Attended Sunday service in his adjacent parish church. And enjoyed the Pope's favorite cream cake and coffee in a nearby cafe. His family apartment is now an extraordinary multimedia museum.Two weeks ago, in Mostar, Alma provided a first-hand account of their family's life over the past 40 years. Her husband, Ermin, drove us north from Mostar through the incredibly beautiful river valley between high mountain ranges to the Sarajevo Airport.We also relied on Steves' recommendations for restaurants in Mostar, Krakรณw and Warsaw.

Best Book on Traveling in Europe
This book was extremely helpful, as its contents are very accurate as my college-age daughter planned a trip to Europe with her boyfriend. It contains a great level of detail and my daughter actually took it with her, and found it to be very valuable and worthwhile for her trip. Rick's books are a great resource, and I would definitely buy them again when the need arises!!! Happy traveling, but only with Rick's books !!!

Superb Information Inside!
Another great updated travel book by Rick! We rely heavily on these books when we travel in Europe. We do exactly what the author says to do, we cut the individual chapters out and have the appropriate one with us in each city or area. I highly recommend this books and any other book written by Rick Steves.
