Ukraine (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

Childrens Toy Shop > Travel > Lonely Planet
by: Sarah Johnstone, et al

June 01, 2008
I've lived in and travelled around Ukraine for the past year. The LP guide is (as I often find with LP) out of date, inaccurate and all too brief on areas which deserve more. The entry for Vylkovo (for example), a town in Southern Ukraine, runs along the lines of 'I've never been there but lots of people who do go there like it.' Is that REALLY what a good, helpful guidebook should say? All information abut Odessa is thoroughly outdated (almost all hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs listed no longer exist), and, where other readers may not appreciate the 'background' information provided by Bradt, I think this information adds to a much fuller understanding of place, people and culture. If you're coming to Ukraine for more than a few days, ... Read More:

England (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

Childrens Toy Shop > Travel > Lonely Planet
by: David Else

I haven't had a problem with the accuracy and the usefulness of the information in this Lonely Planet guide to England. I have no complaints there. The prices and the opening times are right. The recommendations insightful and the options presented (more or less) clearly.
My only complaint is that the depth of information is quite limited and the maps don't often cover more than the very city town centre of most locations.
I can understand that the book can only be so big but really, who wants to carry around a chapter of England's history when you travel and then resort to a series of additional maps and guide information. If you're going to carry this great hunking book when you travel, take it to read as well as as your guide ... Read More:

Finland (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

Childrens Toy Shop > Travel > Lonely Planet
by: Andy Symington

April 01, 2006
For me Lonely Planet books do exactly what they say on the tin, and for the kind of holidays I like going on, I'll pretty much always make sure that I'm taking the relevant Lonely Planet with me.

This Finland book is no exception, and helped us find some great places to stay and to eat, many of which we wouldn't have otherwise found out about. We pretty much always agreed with the brief comments in each review as well.

There's a worthwhile 50 pages introducing Finnish history and culture at the beginning and the rest of the book is sensibly organised, starting with Helsinki and the South and working up to Lapland towards the back of the book.

I know this sounds more like an advert than a review but we couldn't ... Read More:

Greek Islands (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides)

by: Paul Hellander, et al

March 01, 2008
This is a great guide whether you are island-hopping or simply someone who likes to go to Greece for your holidays. Also the format is very user-friendly and easier to navigate around than its main rival - The Rough Guide. The only Greek Islands guide book you'll ever need.
