Negative Positive
Title: Pretty pictures, no details -- maybe good for riding a tour bus.
Review: This book looks impressive, but when I tried to get down to details of actually traveling in Portugal, they just weren't there.The maps are such high level they are worthless for actual navigation. There is no information on where to find the train stations, bus stations. The information about hotels and restaurants are laughable. In Oporto, the book says you can take river trips upstream, but gives no information about where they originate or where to find the boats.I suppose this book might be useful if you just like to look at pictures, and your travels are all organized by a tour bus operator.The old standby, Lonely Planet, is a much better choice.
