- The Rough Guide to Switzerland
If you like the wit of Jonathan Ross and verbal diarrhoea this is the book for you and after reading it you will not bother visiting Switzerland - I made the mistake of buying this instead of an updated edition of the Lonely Planet Switzerland which is an accurate and concise guide, giving you all the information you require.

- Perfect for forst time travellers
I bought this guide as a last minute thought before heading to Zurich for the first time. And I'm very glad I did as the book was so helpful...it definately pointed out all the best places to visit whilst within the city. As it was from 2006 I was worried that the prices would be totaly wrong but I was pleasantly surprised as they were only out by 1 or 2 francs. I would recommend this book to anyone travelling to Switzerland particularly if, like my friend and I, they were a first time traveller

- dissappointing and misleading
I am a big fan of Rough Guides but this is the worst one I've come across. I can only assume that the author works for the Swiss travel services given his bias towards using public transport, not only for travel but also for shopping and eating! The railway station cafes were no better than UK ones and the shops open no later than others in town. His negative comments about driving are totally misplaced, car parking was easy (and no more expensive than the UK) and the roads were excellent, while petrol was cheap. In fact in most small villages there was free parking and even in the cities we didn't encounter any queuing. Having spoken to a friend who visits Switzerland regularly he couldn't understand the books comments at all.

- as efficient as the Swiss railways...
I know the guide-book-buying public are often split into those who like Rough Guides and those who like Lonely Planet, and ne'er the twain shall meet, so I may be preaching to the converted, but never mind...
This is, of course, another excellent example of a Rough Guide - detailed, well-researched & useful, with lovely photos to whet your appetite, but also full of those interesting little snippets that make you interested in a country or town. For instance, who knew that we Brits consume a measly 9kg of chocolate each per year, whereas the Swiss munch through over 11kg? (but is this surprising, given the quality of their chocolate?? 11kg sounds quite low...!) Or that in Valais, the much-less-violent-than-it-sounds cow fight is still ... Read More:
