Though I have a few niggles, there's no doubting that this is a useful item to have with you as you navigate round the carrers of Catalunya's fair capital city. It's compact enough that you're not struggling to open it and robust enough that you can fold it in any shape you like, stick it in your back pocket and sit on it, then later restore it to its intended folding with only the slightest of creasing.

The size clearly leads to a couple of its drawbacks, namely the lack of a larger scale map showing more of the surrounding area, the exclusion of Parc Güell from the main map (and therefore lack of detail of the area around the Parc), and the absence of a plan of the Metro, though in fairness it is definitely useful having ...

I foind this Rough Guide and very informative just like the previous guide books I have used in the past. It has the top 20 places to visit and it is clearly laid out.
The information about the places I visited was very informative
and helpful. I attempted to speak in Spanish and I found the phrases and words useful when trying to order food or ask directions.
I enjoyed reading the history of the area, Catalan and I would recommend the book to friends.
Although the book was published 2 years ago some of the information was not correct but that should not be a problem.

I loved my stay at Barcelona, I tried to cramm in as much as I can in 3 days so I got 3 travel guides and this was one of them.

It contains 3 important maps: A map of Barcelona, a map of the gothic quarter, and a subway map. These maps are clear and well detailed.

By using the top 10 guides I managed to plan out all the must see places and the best places to eat - I definitely recommend the sagrada famiia. + there are top ten guides for each district so you can find out what is near you.

Out of the guides I have seen, this and the AA one are easily the best.

I went to Barcelona recently, and in the planning of the trip I consulted four guide books:

Lonely Planet's Barcelona City Guide
Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Barcelona and Catalonia
Cadogan Guides Barcelona (Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls)
Time Out Barcelona

All of them were good. I took two with me: Lonely Planet and Eyewitness.
The reasons I chose those two:

Eyewitness unfailingly has a good quality map, which in my view is LP's downfall. Eyewitness always includes a Street Finder Index which LP does not, and LP often misses out on streets other than the major ones, which can be very frustrating, especially in a city like Barca where there are many alleyways. I never use Eyewitness ... Read More:

This book ought to be the coolest guide ever! It such a good read even if you're not looking to go to Barcelona! It's so innovative and personalised, something you don't find alot in travel guides. Le Cool should write more guides!!

Only bad point would be the fact that you have to read the entire book first to familarise with what the author recommends before heading out the streets or it will be quite confusing. Wouldn't recommend it for people who are looking to find fast facts and guides about the city.

I have borrowed just about every well-known guide book on Barcelona from my library in preparation for my first visit to the city, and have got more use from this little book than all the others combined! The layout and contents are very user-friendly and tells you very useful stuff. I'd recommmend it for anyone who, like me, wanted an introduction to the city, and pointers on where to visit for a short break. I'll definitely be looking out for this range for future trips to other cities.

I know it's my personal bug-bear, but as with most guidebooks on Spain the Murcia region isn't given the same treatment as other regions - just 10 pages (that wrongly suggest that all we've got there is beaches and golf courses) to cover the whole region while Valencia gets 50! That said, I like the Lonely Planet guides, they are beautifully produced and the colour photos are always outstanding.

I liked this book and read it before setting off for Madrid. It has a lot of information in it and gives some useful historical detail. I found it a bit difficult to use when out and about as all of the info is sectioned by barrios (districts) and as a first time visitor to Madrid it all seemed a bit confusing. I used it together with the eyewitness top 10 madrid guide and found that using them both gave me an excellent balance of info and detail to get about and see everything.

Took my fiance to Paris recently and bought this book for the trip.
Have always been impressed when I've taken one of the Lonely Planet guides on my travels, and this book maintained the high standards that I've come to expect from them.
Doesn't matter if you know a bit about where you are visiting or if you are completely clueless - everything you could need to know is in here.
Well written, easy to use, full of useful information, and yet small enough to fit in a coat pocket.
Highly recommend.
