Explore Portugal with The Rough Guide: Travel Guide with Free eBook Included

Frank A. Baden: I always buy a copy of the Rough Guide's most recent update for each country I'm about to visit. The guide offers unfiltered, practical and often humorous insights that give it a personality most other travel guides don't have. I appreciate its politically incorrect take, because it helps travelers better plan and spend their valuable time. If something sucks, they'll tell you it sucks, instead of watering it down for the sake of some hypothetical sponsor. Highly recommend!

Kevin Beck: I really didn't find the book helpful at all. There's way too much information packed - in tiny writing - into one volume. The subsequent message feels almost cynical in nature. And the oh-so-brief descriptions of cities and towns left me with a big question mark; did I learn anything at all? Guess I need to find a travel book that targets specific regions.

Amazon Customer: I found it very superficial . Didn't cover anything in any meaningful detail i.e. no suggestions about line ups, etc. for attractions. Could have just used Wikipedia.

Sue Lerena: In my opinion, the Rough Guides are the best travel guides on the market. Every country we have been to, these are the guides we take with us. We are now living in Portugal, and the Rough Guide to Portugal is our must have book for all the trips we take here. The writing is so good - informal, interesting, well researched and entertaining. Unlike other guides, this one covers many smaller places of interest around the more common destinations. We have found loads of day-trip destinations around our area that we would have missed except for a short entry in the guide. We have found it to be well researched and accurate. We love it and would highly recommend it to anybody travelling here.

Dr. R. H. Webber: This is a very comprehensive guidebook, probably the best there is on Portugal. I really appreciated some of the information on more remote archaeological sites and some of the smaller towns. The only reason I have not given it 5* is because some of the maps need correcting. In some of the national parks roads marked did not correspond with what was there and some places in the town maps were not where they actually are. If these could all be checked as I suspect they are artist mistakes, it would be almost perfect.

Amazon Customer: The Rough Guide is very good for detailed background information on places and interesting facts, perhaps not noted by other guides. Like all published material, gets out of date quickly but still always one to buy and take the pocket Rough Guide with you.

C. Gottlieb: Just back from Portugal after using this book. Very nicely organized for a tourist. From this book we found a wonderful beach resort town that is not on any usual travel website/book, Figueroa da Foz. We wanted a 2 day place just to unwind and this was perfect. It is not a place that Americans would know about, not a "hot" tourist attraction. The maps were wonderful but I would add perforations so one can tear out easily the map page and place in the pocket. One has to be wary being a tourist and carrying a heavy book, which this is, and large maps to attract pickpockets. I have used many different tour guides' books in travel throughout Europe and I loved this one so far THE BEST! I would definitely purchase again for another country.
