Review1:

I bought this Lonely Planet guide as I was moving to Portugal for a year. I have used previous guides by Lonely Planet but this was has been my favourite: the authors are fantastic: their humour, insider tips and just general description of a place are about 99% correct.

This guide makes Portugal seem much bigger than most people believe it to be. The authors research many places outside of the "usual suspects" and provide rarely-heard of information.

The only sections of this guide that are, one expects to be off, such as transport prices. And even though they can be substantially off, I cannot hold this against the writers, seeing that Lisbon metro and carris changed their prices twice in a year. Also, I cannot give this guide a 5* rating as too many of the places described are almost inaccessible without a private car... And I expect that Lonely Planet users rely much more on public transport.

Overall, a refreshing read - you don't even need to travel there - and very, very useful :)

Review2:

As with all the Lonely Planet books this is yet another to be thoroughly comprehensive about the subject.The coverage of places to visit,prices etc is really helpful.The subject of Hotels is very useful too.Maps are well signposted and infact this book as with all the others around the world will add yet another very instructive manual.
