Good pocket guide, map text sometimes difficult to read

Reviewed on June 16, 2019
Paperback | Verified

It's a very handy pocket guide (like others in the series, which I've bought previously). I'm using it at present for planning my trip, so I can't comment specifically on its accuracy (but the others have been good in that respect). I have found the text on the pull out map difficult to read at times, specially the street names in a poor light. This is perhaps because as an older person I need to have more contrast. I have bought a magnifying glass to help with this problem.

Restaurant guide wasn't all that great

Reviewed on September 27, 2018
Paperback | Verified

Like any of these guides, you get a map, an overview of places to visit and places to eat. It performed the first two fairly well, but the restaurants listed weren't all that special when compared to the ratings on Google Maps. We found better ones just searching the maps. Overall, not a huge spend, but we could have managed with the street map and metro map.
