An amazing portable guide
It covers excellent restaurants and wonderful places to stop and shop. If you are planning a short trip to Paris this is a must have book. The essential sights are all listed by region and are explained in enough detail for one to decide if they want to visit. If you are going for a longer period of time I would recommend a bigger guide but I would still get this one to walk around with. .

DK publishing delivers yet again with this Paris guide...
Detailed maps and metro routes, information on how long to plan to spend at each sight and what to skip, quick translation guide for basic phrases to get you through your trip with the locals, and detailed pictures to refer back to after you've taken your guided tour but forgotten the names of your stops. Just as impressed with DK Publishing's Top 10: Paris as I was with their Top 10 - Munich guide.

Keep it in your backpack during your trip. It's small and easy to refer to anywhere.

Top 10: Paris - 5 stars

Safe travels,

Skip This Book, Just Buy the Regular 400 Page Guide


I have to confess up front. This is a scaled down version of the regular Eyewitness Paris book. I love these books. I must have a dozen. I really like the Paris book, and the one for Prague, and Stockholm, and South Africa, and . . . . You get all the detailed material similar to other great travel books plus you get great visuals.

The photos and descriptions and cutaway drawings are excellent and more than make up for any lack of small detail. But there is lots of detail here. The book includes the history of Paris and many details on the art, art galleries, parks, cutaway views of historical buildings, and many other things of interest. That is the good part.

The bad part is why buy this book when there is a much better Eyewitness Travel book on Paris for a few extra dollars. The big book is 5 stars. This is an edited and scaled down sibling.

Recommendation: skip this thin 2 star or 3 star book and just buy the regular book which is easily a 5 star book.
