    I ordered this book because I have used Rick Steve’s guides for south France, and he was right on the money. He guided us on a walk in Nice from the coast to the Chagall museum, and he even had landmarks so we didn’t miss a turn. That was golden to me. I also learned that Mr. Steve actually visits the properties that he recommends, whereas others collect information from the venues themselves.

    This book hits all the highlights of Barcelona, plus close side trips from town. It is small enough to carry while sightseeing.

    This book is light to carry and has all the basics for walking tours, major sights, things outside the city, food and hotel suggestions. It covers all the essentials and has easy to follow maps. The print size is easy to read as you are touring the sights.

    GET THIS E-BOOK!!! I debated whether it would be worth the money before I took a big month-long trip to Spain this past October/November 2009. I was not disappointed! The most useful feature (there are tons) in the Snapshot city guide e-books are the self-guided tours through the museums. There are crowd-beating tips, updated cost, hours, locations, phone numbers, maps, self-guided walking tours in the city…Seriously, it’s a no-brainer. Get this e-book. For so little money, you can save yourself a world full of headaches. He also points out cool things to see in the city that aren’t in other tour books (the Sardana dances), and he gives invaluable tips of the good places to go for everything (food, entertainment, museums, neighborhoods, etc). Also, the local free tourist maps they give you are usually anemic by way of detailed, accurate information. Having this little tool as a backup is critical when you may not have time to hunt down bigger books and maps. It also gives you info about surrounding cities you may like to visit, as well as tips on language, money, phoning…Plus, it fits in your pocket (I used it on my iPhone with the Kindle reader). You don’t look like a tourist dork reading your iPhone, like you do lugging around maps and books. You look way cooler…
