Barcelona!April 9, 2006 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I loved my stay at Barcelona, I tried to cramm in as much as I can in 3 days so I got 3 travel guides and this was one of them.
It contains 3 important maps: A map of Barcelona, a map of the gothic quarter, and a subway map. These maps are clear and well detailed.
By using the top 10 guides I managed to plan out all the must see places and the best places to eat - I definitely recommend the sagrada famiia. + there are top ten guides for each district so you can find out what is near you.
Out of the guides I have seen, this and the AA one are easily the best.
A useful guide to suit everyoneAugust 12, 2004 14 out of 15 found this review helpful
A guide that recommends the top 10 places to visit and stay, whether it be for culture, art, history, places to eat or entertainment. It is guaranteed to suggest some of the best places in the city and often the most hidden and without this guide you may never come across such nice places.
It has an easy to follow grid referencing system with clear maps at the front and back of the book.
I swear by these guides and will not visit a place without taking a Top 10 guide with me.
Great for those with limited timeSeptember 1, 2003 35 out of 35 found this review helpful
The Top Ten guide is perfect if you have limited time in Barcelona. Not only does it tell you the top ten must see sights, but also breaks those down into the top ten thigs that you should notice at that sight. As well as the touristy big hitters there's a helpful section on top ten hotels, bars, restaurants etc as well as parks, shopping and things to do with children.
Travel advice is spot on, including roughly what you should pay for a cab from the airport and a neat menu decoder. The teeny Catalan phrasebook is handy even if you have a basic grasp of Spanish.
Size wise it's perfect, fitting neatly in a pocket with discreet fold out maps so you don't look like a tourist silently yelling 'mug me'!
