"Walking tour of Munich good."
"Having no experience in how to use public transportation, it shared where the stations were, how to get to places and what type of ticket you needed."
"Disappointed, we are going to Salzburg and I was hoping for more content."
"Amazing compact guide."
"Great help with information and guide to sights and accurate information."
"If you are traveling to Munich/Salzburg, this book is a MUST."
With the enclosed beer coupons, from some of Munich's most prized beer gardens, this edition pays for itself. Larry Hawthorne is a journalist who has spent many years living, working, and traveling in Europe.

"Every beer lover taking a trip to Munich needs this book."
"The only down side is there are so many great places, that you can't see them all in one trip."
"This book is packed with insightful information on Munich itself, it's history etc all held together with the common string being a love of good beer."
"There are also BOGO coupons in the back of the book at 5 different locations - the book literally pays for itself!"
"Excellent."
"The book has some good information, I just think it could be arranged a little differently."
"We found our "regular" travel guide completely unhelpful with regards to beer and this book helped fill in the gaps. - This book was first written in 1991 and even though it has been updated as recently as 2015 seems to have completely missed the worldwide craft beer revolution. It's true that beer in Bavaria is relatively homogenized and dominated by 4 major companies but there are certainly gems to be found and this guide seems oblivious."
Designed specifically for Rick's travel audience (or users) these maps highlight choice destinations throughout Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, from the shore of the North Sea to the towering Alps, in a colorful, easy-to-use format on high-quality paper that lasts over many trips: Cuts the Clutter: While big cities are left for navigational purposes, this map is otherwise stripped clean and filled in only with places that matter to travelers. Beautifully ornate Neuschwanstein Castle, frothy beer at Oktoberfest, skiers schussing down the slopes and dodging snowflakes in the Tirol, Julie Andrews and the The Sound of Music --Germany, Austria, and Switzerland conjure up countless fairy-tale images. Since then, his ineluctable Eurocentric passion has developed into his livelihood, with a series of guide books, a Web site, a tour company, and a public television program. Of the Swiss, he writes that "like Boy Scouts ... [they] count cleanliness, neatness, punctuality, tolerance, independence, thrift, and hard work as virtues, and they love pocketknives."

"Map is kind of simple, but very useful for planning purposes."
"First and foremost, to clarify, this product that you are supposedly reading reviews for is Rick Steves' MAP of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Especially if you have small children who are apt to spill liquid, as mine did on Day One upon receiving it from Amazon!"
"GPS was great to use while I was in Germany, but it I liked being able to see where we wanted to go see on a actual map!"
"I will still take it with me on my trip and if I get lost Rick Steve’s can have the last laugh!"
"Waste of money unless you are traveling to the specific cities featured."
"I bought this book for my first trip to Germany: Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Koblenz, and Koeln."
