Great!

We used Frankfurt as a "base" on a recent family vacation and this book was perfect for helping us explore the surrounding area. We rented a car for two of the days and did train trips for two other days. In both cases, the itinerary suggested in this book was ideal. What a perfect way to see...

Good guide

This guide provides a nice summary. The "day trip" approach is taking a car or train to get from your base city to the destination and back within a day. Germany is small enough that most of the major cities could be used as a base, but somewhere in the middle like Frankfurt is easiest. It has...

Appropriate title

I have bought three copies of this book, one for me and two for fellow military that I work with. There are so many interesting places to travel in Germany-either by road or by rail, having this book allows me to explore a little more freely and put some of the sights into a more interesting...

Appropriate title

I have not read the entire book, but it seems to deliver what the title promises. Basically what do I do when I get off the train station in a town--each guide section has a simple walking tour with some interesting facts.

Great book!

The only thing that could be better if it were updated a little more. Things are constantly changing, so prices are probably changed, and some roads are no longer the same. I love the map of the cities, I just wish there were more cities! It is a great book to have if you are just doing a...

Excellent book

I purchased three books prior to our trip to Germany. This was by far the best for what we wanted to do. We were in Heidelberg for work, and had to stay fairly close, so the ability to plan day trips to other cities was perfect for us. The directions were clear and almost always completely accurate.

Daytrips Germany

Useful but boring, the same format over and over. The 2002 edition I just received is really out of date. Maps are less useful since part of the print becomes part of the binding. Rick Steve's book, Germany and Austria 2007, is so much more enjoyable to read.

Fantastic memories

We, my wife and I, found the daytrips very informative.How else would we have found the famous "Rauchbier" in Bamberg? It alone was worth the price of the book. We went to several of the trips explained in the book during our three week stay in Bavaria. I will definitely take it again if we can...
