Summary: DK Is The Best Publisher
Review: Dorling Kindersley guides are the best. Have several of them including this one and the Poland guide. I highly recommend the
Poland, Warsaw and Cracow guides for anyone going to Poland on their next vacation or business trip !!!!Lots of beautiful photographs and the descriptions of points of interest are not too lengthy (a good thing) but to the point. This is definitely THE guide for the harried tourist.

Summary: Eyewitness Travel Guides: Warsaw
Review: Just recently returned from Poland and Warsaw. Found the guide very good after the fact for puting together a pictorial of my visit. Could not remember all the sites I had seen but the book had them all. I wish I had purchased this book before my visit, it would have helped immensely. Covers with history and detailed descrpitions of every possible thing that you would care to see and visit.

Summary: Another Great Book by DK Eyewitness
Review: Spent two years and Europe and can only wish they had these books for every major city. But about Warsaw - excellent detail, highlights, and places to visit along with hotel listing. The highlighted area are so well documented and photographed you may not need to take pictures of everything you see (especially the photo areas). But the detailed/cut-out section maps of certain structures/features get you there quickly instead of having to search around and wasting time. This book will save you time and energy looking for items that are only "written" - (i.e Fodor's) ex - such as in the back corner of this building there is a statue from the 12th century. That doesn't do much when there are 5 statues and the book doesn't tell you which one. DK shows exactly where is it and detailed info about. The walking tours are highly encouraged. Well worth it. The maps and restaurants sections are somewhat outdated but with changes occurring everyday in Poland/Eastern Europe - you can't fault the publishers. Street names change as new building are constructed or just renamed to replace former communists name. For the hotel section - may not be the most detail but I tell you what - you get a name, location and price range - anything else get on the Internet and do a search on your hotel and that should complete all travel arrangements. Had no problems staying in the hotels listed in this book - even with the lower 2 star hotels. The publishers do their homework when it comes to hotels (but if you want more detail - the Internet is there) Will never use another tour book again - DK is the only way to go. And you'll see about 70% of other visitors using these books - even other Europeans visitors to Warsaw. Top notch!
