Advantages: info on history, culture Disadvantages: inaccurate directions,casa info
In 2006 I spent some time traveling around Cuba, it was always a dream destination of mine. I was accompanied by my sister and as two girls alone it soon became clear we were not going to have an easy time. The Lonelyplanet was our only source of information (since there is very little access to the internet in many places). It was a disappointment to find ourselves arriving in a city in the evening, looking for the "casas"(you stay in family homes rather than hotels)to find the map was completely wrong, and the casas listed didn't even exist anymore. As a last resort we attempted to find the only hotel listed in the book(which would have used a weeks worth of money from our budget) only to find it had closed down 5 years ago! It was not an enjoyable experience. I think it is time for them to update the book.
Although the guide ...
Advantages: Facts about everything you want to know, easy to carry, cheaper than rough guide Disadvantages: need to ensure up to date version
We visited Amsterdam not too long ago, and I get to do the planning of trips- always the best part for me, so I love it. Anticipation is a great part of the holiday, in my opinion!
Went out and looked at the guide books and travellers companion books before I bought one- I think it's no good having one that you won't read.
WHY THE LONELYPLANET?
The books are written with the reader in mind and the people who write them have actually been to the places they write about. In the Amsterdam case, one otf the authors lived in Amsterdam. People who visit places are encouraged to write in and the authors include recommendations which you might or might not want to take up. What they don't do sometimes is put things in that might encourage an influx of people to a place- this might dameage the environment or offend the locals. So they ...
Advantages: Great for ideas, choosing best time of year to travel Disadvantages: Limited information, some of the dates may be slightly inaccurate
This travel book from the LonelyPlanet team was published about 2 years ago now, and it's a book I've tended to dip into for inspiration intermittently. The format is a week by week guide of travel suggestions throughout the year, a kind of "where to go when" book. From this point of view, it's great for ideas - if you're thinking of taking a week or two in March, you can flick through and see some of the travel experiences best done at that time of year. It could also be used to look up the best time to go somewhere, but I think if you had a specific goal in mind, using a regional travel guide would give you much more information.
The book is very well-illustrated - nearly every suggestion has an image to go with it. There are usually 2 double pages per week, occasionally with a few extra ideas written at the bottom. Every quarter ...
