Perfect!
By A35N5KQ12JGN54 on 2006-07-15
Before our family trip for 10 days throughout Germany, I purchased a few different travel guides. After having each of them in hand before leaving home, we took 3 books with us. By the 3rd day, we only carried 2 books with us: this one and then as a BACKUP, Rick Steves' Germany and Austria 2006. Those 2 books were great for finding tourist sites, great restaurants and hotels that could accommodate 2 adults and 2 kids (most hotels don't have rooms with 2 beds!)
My Favorite Travel Series
By A1470FRRYAP3RK on 2005-03-13
This book series is ideal for tourists that want to get more out of their trips. I own five in the series and I just bought a sixth! Our last trip to Germany was a business trip for my husband. While he worked I used this book to daytrip to surrounding towns. Staying in one town and using the efficient public transport in Europe for daytrips is an ideal way to travel. You also learn more about a town from a walking tour than you will from any other kind. And this book may include places you hadn't considered but are gems (like my trip to Gosling).
Great resource!
By A3IF5F74ES9KJF on 2006-03-30
This book has been well-used during my time in Germany (stationed here with a military husband). On weekends that I feel the need to get out and enjoy the country (which is a lot during nice weather!), I just grab this book and go! The maps and suggested tours are wonderful!

Great tips for short trips not found in other books.
By ASCKPSUKWJL3L on 2007-01-04
This book was very helpful while planning my trip to Germany. My time was very limited in Germany so I wanted to just hit the high points in each area. Although the book is a couple years old, I found the information to be accurate and helpful. I especially found it helpful for my trip to the North. There are many other books that have lots of information on Bavaria and the Rhineland but basically nothing on the cities in the North. So this book gave me some ideas. It was organized by regions in a very understandable way. My daughter and I traveled with backpacks via the train system so we carefully decided each item as to its value in carrying with us and this book was one of the things we took. So, I would recommend it to anyone going to Germany who likes to pick and plan what they want to see.
The BEST travel guide!
By A3VXXFXQA8LNU1 on 2006-05-27
I highly recommend this book to anyone traveling to Germany. Even though my mother is a native German and I spent a large part of my childhood in Germany, this book is invaluable to me! It is packed with a wealth of information. Not only are the itineries well planned, the maps easy to follow and the "day trips" really easy to do in a day, but the restaurant choices are also terrific... Every restaurant that we ate at was in this guide and every one was fabulous. Hurray for Mr. Steinbicker! Please keep them coming!!!!
- Excellent resource for base-city travellers
By A13MOXLX9L0FM on 2007-04-20
We just came back from a 10-day trip to Germany, 1st time, focused on Bavaria & Rhineland. We stayed 7 days in Munich and 3 in Frankfurt. No matter how much advanced planning, there always is the possibility to make changes once you get there. For example, at Frankfurt we made a change to take the Rhine Cruise. The chapters on Rhine Cruise, Rudesheim, Koblenz, and Mainz all helped.
I had bought 4 other books for the trip. This book proved to be the best resource that helped us in pre-trip planning, as well as in-trip tour guide.
- Independant Travelers Notice
By AUE22V95W2M5U on 2006-02-28
This book is an excellent guide for first time travellers in Germany.
My wife and I used the first edition of the book on our first trip to Germany over 20 years ago. Now we are planning our 6th trip and this new edition will go along with us.
The clear, easy to follow walking tour plans as well as the detailed instruction for traveling from town to town erase many of the uncertanties and gives the confidence necessary for being in an unknown town by yourself.
- Great trip planner
By ASUINYTD68H97 on 2005-04-06
This book was very helpful in planning a 10 day trip to Bavaria. There was so much we wanted to see and do and were having a difficult time planning an itinerary. This book helped us get the most out of our trip planning! Glad I got it!
- Great guide
By A1YISFNZ7CYAPF on 2007-03-22
I just came back from Germany and I brought this book along almost every single day of my trip. It was the most useful to me when we were in the cities like berlin, frankfurt and munich. I find that the trips are very easy to follow and even though the maps are simple, it was good enough. The suggested route was good, but there too many stops to enjoy in one day. If I were to go on each of them, I dont think I would have had the time to relax and enjoy each visit. But at the same time, it was good that there were alot of choices, so we were able to pick and choose which ones we want to visit. And if we had more time the next day, we would hit the stops that we missed.
- Fantastic memories
By A169IPL5Y46NNB on 2007-08-04
We, my wife and I, found the daytrips very informative.How else would we have found the famous "Rauchbier" in Bamberg? It alone was worth the price of the book. We went to several of the trips explained in the book during our three week stay in Bavaria. I will definitely take it again if we can make another trip to Germany.

Unfortunately this book arrived after I left for my trip so I didn't do me any good at all. It would have been handy however.
- Daytrips Germany
By A2HXR0JVCEC7H8 on 2007-08-11
Useful but boring, the same format over and over. The 2002 edition I just received is really out of date. Maps are less useful since part of the print becomes part of the binding. Rick Steve's book, Germany and Austria 2007, is so much more enjoyable to read.
- Excellent book
By A1COWOG0UFSS8X on 2007-10-07
I purchased three books prior to our trip to Germany. This was by far the best for what we wanted to do. We were in Heidelberg for work, and had to stay fairly close, so the ability to plan day trips to other cities was perfect for us. The directions were clear and almost always completely accurate.
- well...
By A1FEA3SR8PHG1X on 2007-03-25
A friend actually let me borrow the same book, but 5th edition and we just had to have one for ourselves. It tells you all the places you can visit, has maps, and even suggestions for resturants and costs.
Great buy!
- Everything you need to know about Germany.
By A3NEFOM4YJX0FN on 2007-06-20
We took 3 travel guides with us on our tour of Germany and this is the one we used the most. It has everything that you need to know. What trains to use, what to see, how to get there, where to eat, where to stay. As a first time traveler to Germany we found the info in this book useful and easy to use. I highly recommend it!
