Lonely Planet Switzerland 9 (Travel Guide)

Tried to use this book. I didn't find it very useful. It lacked practical information for navigating the country, just didn't seem in depth enough about the cities I visited and the maps were lacking. Ended up using tripadvisor and google maps to meet my travel information needs.

10/10 recommend. Using this for a 2 person trip and it provides amazing basics you need to know and how to become better at traveling the country.

Came on time in great condition. I use Lonely planet guide on all my trips. It is extremely useful and has all the detail required for planning trips and while you are traveling. This addition also includes the country Liechtenstein, which was great because on our way from Switzerland to Germany for Oktoberfest we stopped in Liechtenstein (it is an adorable country by the way-worth a trip).

Travel guides are hard in the ebook format, but I really felt that LP did a great job organizing the info and adding necessary links to maps and outside sources. I love the use of images, which isn't always prevalent in ebooks. Overall, a great guide for my trip.

Lonely Planet travel books are amazing. Bought this as a gift and the recipient loved it.

Perfect for the budget minded traveler who wishes to make the most out of their vacation and see the best of the best. It will save you time, money and offers great advice on traveling abroad. I love the entire series they publish!

While this book would be great for some one who is looking for an overview of Switzerland, I was looking for something more in depth. I was looking more for more in depth descriptions. Because I will be spending a month there, I was hoping for more ideas attractions that are not the norm for the casual traveler. However, this book would do well for the first time visitor or one who is not going to be there for a long time and wants to hit the highlights and must sees.

The guide covers the usual LP territory: larger city maps, places to stay. As such it serves its purpose. The choice of suggested restaurants is questionable - the guide suggests quite a number of chinese and thai places, rather than local fare. Also, if you're looking beyond a place to stay, and want to learn more about the areas you are going to stay, you'll be disappointed - most places are covered by a few standard paragraphs. Would really suggest the official "myswitzerland" website - it's way much better for planning

The book is well written and has lots of easy to use features.The insight into what to do in Switzerland, its history, its local quirks, seemed pretty solid to me, though we were holidaying only in one little corner of the country (the Valais) so couldn't really put the book to the test.My only gripe is that most of Switzerland seems to be closer to other countries (France, Italy, Germany) than to other parts of Switzerland. For instance, from the Valais, I am only 1 hour drive from Aosta in Italy, or 1 hour from the amazing tourist attraction of the Monte Blanc 'Skyway' at Courmayeur. But I'm 3 hours from Zermatt and the Matterhorn. So it would have been really cool if the book had covered cool things to do near to Switzerland as well as within the different Swiss regions.

Lonely Planet are really one of the top travel guides and this version is no exception.... I wouldn't travel anywhere without Lonely Planet and planning independent travel and tours (never use agents), it's all I need!

Saved me a lot of money as you can spend a fortune in Switzerland if you are not prepared also got to see the lovely places which for a first time traveller is very helpful , have to read & find much info before you get there the most expensive place to travel unless you have a Swiss bank vault of gold

Very informative. Just wish there were more photos but know that would bump up the cost. Such a helpful guide for planning.

Good consise guide. Will be so beneficial for our holiday when checking out directions to places of interest, eating out etc.,Many thanks for your prompt service.
