I’m a fan of Rick Steves, so of course I like his books. This one is just a fun read. I’d been to Europe on business quite a few times before I went there on holiday, so some of his advice was old hat to me. But the joy he gets from travel is infectious, and gets me excited about going back even when I was just over there.
This book is best read if you’ve never gone to Europe before; it’ll get you excited about going places that are foreign, yet familiar in some way thanks to America’s melting pot heritage. Rick gives good advice on how to plan, how to edit your plans down to something manageable, and how to be ready to go have fun and roll with the punches that always come with travel.
If you’re looking for detailed advice on a particular place, or if you’re an experienced traveler, this book probably won’t tell you much that you’d be looking for. But if you just want to get excited about going back to Europe, or if you’ve never been, this is a great read.
