Book Reviews of Knopf MapGuide: Barcelona (Knopf Mapguides)
Book Review: Your compass in Barcelona
Summary: 5 Stars
Top 10 reasons to buy this guide.
10. It's small and compact and fits in your purse.
9. It's beautifully designed. Would you just look at that vintage style cover!
8. Districts of Barcelona are represented in 6 sections, making it easier to navigate the city.
7. There's an updated full color subway map in the back matter.
6. Every restaurant and cafe we tried on a whim served delicious food and didn't ever disappoint.
5. Days and hours of opening are listed on every venue listed. This is very important since Barcelona stores hold erratic business hours.
4. Basic information on day trips outside Barcelona is listed in the front matter.
3. The thumbnail size photos while not great do provide a quick impression of the venue listed.
2. All explanation are short and to the point, making it easier to read while you're on the road.
1. It's only $9.95!
That said, I recommend supplementing this pocket guide with something more substantive like Frommer's walks of Barcelona that give more detailed and poignant explanations of historical attractions, and give you an itinerary that prioritizes what you should see.
Bon voyage!
