 Rating:  - An Excellent Choice if you are Heading to SwitzerlandThis is the only book I bought for my trip to Switzerland, and I was able to get by very well with it. I visted Zurich, Lucerne, Lugano, Bern, Interlaken, Zermatt, Montreaux, Lausanne, and Geneva, and found the book to have all the information I needed for each city. The format is easy to use, with listings of hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, bars, nightclubs, etc., for each city, and the book includes info on virtually every city and town in Switzerland that a tourist could ... Read More Rating: - Good But There are BetterI have been to Switzerland many times. Recently I sat down with my daughter who has worked at a hotel at Interlaken in Switzerland during her years in Business Administration at McGill - up to last summer - and we went over the Switzerland guides to see how they ranked, and what was currently the best guide in our humble opinions. We are not experts but have certain requirements and preferences. It helps if one can get a feel for the area in advance of a trip, and generally that is helped by good maps ... Read More Rating: - Frommer's Switzerland, 8th EditionI find this guide to be well organized and comprehensive. The walking tours of the major cities is the feature I like best, but there are also descriptions of major attractions which help one decide which to see and which to miss if time is short. I had an older Frommer's Switzerland guide and find the format improved in this edition over the 1994-95 one. The one objection I have is that in the listings of side trips such as to neighboring villages, too often the only ... Read More Rating:  - Good as reference, not for much elseI purchased a copy of this book to help with my summer research internship in Switzerland in 2001, and found it to be less useful than the Rough Guides. The Fromer book is written as a fairly terse reference book, listing a few restaurants, hotels of various price ranges, and not much else for the different cities. Sure, there are listings of attractions for the different cities, but the way they are presented is not very helpful to plan trips. On the other hand, the Rough Guides have suggestions ... Read More Rating: - Frommer's Switzerland (Frommer's Switzerland, 9th Ed)This was a great guide for us while driving in Switzerland. Frommer's recommendations and descriptions for places to stay and site-see were fairly accurate. When they list a five star hotel as such, believe it. They also included mini walking tours in various cities ... it was great!!! What a fantastic way to get aquainted with unknown spots!!!! Browse for similar items by category:
