While this book offers little new or earth-shattering information to those who have visited Europe, it's an EXCELLENT resource for anyone planning their first European trip. The first half of the book focuses on logistics, and covers literally everything from how to get to Europe and how much to budget, to what to do should an emergency arise during the trip. The second half of the book breaks down each of the countries, and focuses on top places to see, suggested time to spend at each place, top cultural experiences, and fun little anecdotes from the author's previous travels. While I had little use for the first half of the book, the second half proved useful in planning my future European travels. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering traveling Europe, and needs a good place to start.
