Almost have to rate this a five， as husband and I read it asynchronously--and now we're going to Tarragona for Epiphany， when neither of us had heard of it before！ Almost have to rate this a five， as husband and I read it asynchronously--and now we're going to Tarragona for Epiphany， when neither of us had heard of it before！ 。。。more

The pictures are beautiful but the choices for what one would do in 36 hours would only make sense if 1） you had already visited the location multiple times; 2） money was no object; and 3） you had a certain interest in trendy stuff。 Reading one itinerary after another like this gets deadening fast。 These travelers would spend more than half their time in extremely expensive restaurants and clubs。 They would go shopping in expensive stores rather than sightsee or interact with local culture。 In m The pictures are beautiful but the choices for what one would do in 36 hours would only make sense if 1） you had already visited the location multiple times; 2） money was no object; and 3） you had a certain interest in trendy stuff。 Reading one itinerary after another like this gets deadening fast。 These travelers would spend more than half their time in extremely expensive restaurants and clubs。 They would go shopping in expensive stores rather than sightsee or interact with local culture。 In most cases if they do go to see sights， they will pass on the iconic choices and take in the trendiest modern art myseum or gallery the city has to offer。 Read one at a time in the paper that is OK （though not terribly helpful for the 90% of us who don't travel that way）。 But taken in a large dose it gets very tiresome。 。。。more

Nothing like reading a book that I probably won't be using for a long time to get several books behind on my reading goal！No rating because I don't think I can。。。？ Nothing like reading a book that I probably won't be using for a long time to get several books behind on my reading goal！No rating because I don't think I can。。。？ 。。。more

very inconvenient huge book， that you can't take with you when travelling， irrelevant information almost to every city。 The book is very subjective， dont waste you time on its recommendations， always do a cross-check， or better， use real guide books very inconvenient huge book， that you can't take with you when travelling， irrelevant information almost to every city。 The book is very subjective， dont waste you time on its recommendations， always do a cross-check， or better， use real guide books 。。。more

It was a good guide overall Europe。 Gives a good hint of the places where to stay and visit。 Of the places I´ve been so far I´d say is a good reference。 It´s not your common travel guide though。 Lovely photography and drawing。 Would recommend。

What's incredible is how many experiences can fit into a 36-hour adventure！ And because it's based upon boots-on-the-ground research， all the information is fresh and new， as witnessed in the reporting process。 Journalists provide travel tips based on first-hand accounts of spending a weekend in a destination。 Read full review here， from MidCenturyBooks。Net， Europe What's incredible is how many experiences can fit into a 36-hour adventure！ And because it's based upon boots-on-the-ground research， all the information is fresh and new， as witnessed in the reporting process。 Journalists provide travel tips based on first-hand accounts of spending a weekend in a destination。 Read full review here， from MidCenturyBooks。Net， Europe 。。。more

Most of the restaurant suggestions here are for places that are quite pricey。 I can't justify splurging on $$$-$$$$ meals for 3 days。 It's a nice book to flip through casually but I've never followed any of these itineraries， as I haven't found much in here to be that exciting。 A lot of the suggestions are museums， art galleries and castles which I am not too fond of and could have found super easily on Google。 Most of the restaurant suggestions here are for places that are quite pricey。 I can't justify splurging on $$$-$$$$ meals for 3 days。 It's a nice book to flip through casually but I've never followed any of these itineraries， as I haven't found much in here to be that exciting。 A lot of the suggestions are museums， art galleries and castles which I am not too fond of and could have found super easily on Google。 。。。more

Updated version this beautiful book gives you ideas of how to spend your long weekend in a European city。 Favourites will always include London， Paris and Amsterdam but there's lots of new places to explore。 Not a comprehensive travel guide， more of a well photographed inspiration。 Updated version this beautiful book gives you ideas of how to spend your long weekend in a European city。 Favourites will always include London， Paris and Amsterdam but there's lots of new places to explore。 Not a comprehensive travel guide， more of a well photographed inspiration。 。。。more

SO GOOD。 i've never gotten a lonely planet book or any guide to anywhere i've traveled， i just do research online before i bounce。 however， this book was a gift so i tried it out。 i lived in europe for a year and did exactly this every weekend - spent 36 hours in a new city/country。 gave fantastic recommendations， and even met some lifelong friends at the recommended spots listed in these pages。 every other 36 hours book is waiting to be bought on my amazon。。。 perfect for the solo （or group - no SO GOOD。 i've never gotten a lonely planet book or any guide to anywhere i've traveled， i just do research online before i bounce。 however， this book was a gift so i tried it out。 i lived in europe for a year and did exactly this every weekend - spent 36 hours in a new city/country。 gave fantastic recommendations， and even met some lifelong friends at the recommended spots listed in these pages。 every other 36 hours book is waiting to be bought on my amazon。。。 perfect for the solo （or group - not discriminating！） traveler。 love， love， love！ 。。。more

If you didn't have the travel bug before reading this book， you will by the time you finish。 It is not a conventional travel guide， but it let's you see what you could realistically accomplish in a 36 hour period in some of the most wonderful cities in Europe。 Great photography， interesting text and suggested schedules makes this a doable wish book for people planning actual trips or those who want to travel vicariously through this dreamy， chunky book。 Thanks to Bobbye for ordering this。。。and E If you didn't have the travel bug before reading this book， you will by the time you finish。 It is not a conventional travel guide， but it let's you see what you could realistically accomplish in a 36 hour period in some of the most wonderful cities in Europe。 Great photography， interesting text and suggested schedules makes this a doable wish book for people planning actual trips or those who want to travel vicariously through this dreamy， chunky book。 Thanks to Bobbye for ordering this。。。and Emily should quick read it before her trip！ 。。。more

Lovely summaries and pictures that depict brief stints in different cities: a good overall portrait of Europe。 Suited for wealthier travelers -- most dining options are quite expensive and high brow。 Some interesting， off the beaten path tips， too。 Nice to supplement other guides or to inspire or feed your wanderlust。

Back in 2015， I skimmed this。 This time around， I read it and highlighted locations。 I loved how it was organized into Southwest， Central， Northern， etc。， locations because that’s the main thing I’ve been struggling with on how to plan a trip to Europe。

It will never take the place of a full travel guide， but this is a lot of fun。 A collection of columns from the New York Times， suggesting an itinerary for a weekend in various European destinations。 I like that they are not the obvious: see the Eiffel Tower， but more places to explore that are less well known。 The restaurant and hotel suggestions are mostly for someone in a much higher tax bracket then I， but I found these snippets gave me a good idea of the character of each city and whether i It will never take the place of a full travel guide， but this is a lot of fun。 A collection of columns from the New York Times， suggesting an itinerary for a weekend in various European destinations。 I like that they are not the obvious: see the Eiffel Tower， but more places to explore that are less well known。 The restaurant and hotel suggestions are mostly for someone in a much higher tax bracket then I， but I found these snippets gave me a good idea of the character of each city and whether it would be a place I'd like to visit or not。 And of course， food and hotel suggestions may go out of date quickly。 There are museum suggestions， shopping highlights， nightlife suggestions， architectural highlights， fun things to do， lots of places to have coffee or something sweet， great photographs， and a little map depicting each city and the recommended itinerary。 I don't think I'd follow one of these slavishly （for one thing， I don't go to nightclubs） but I would use this to make sure I don't miss some hidden gems in each city。 。。。more
