Barcelona and Catalonia (Eyewitness Travel Guides)Books: Travel: Barcelona: Item 7
45 of 46 people found the following review helpful: not up to the usual D-K standard, February 14, 2001 Reviewer:Philip Greenspun (Cambridge, MA USA) - This guide is not up to the usual D-K standard. I like to take pictures for photo.net when I travel and it is very helpful to have the little sample photos of destinations so that one can decide whether or not to invest the time. But D-K Barcelona is very skimpy on details and also on tourist attractions and facilities as soon as you venture out of the Old City. For authoritative restaurant and hotel recommendations, go with Michelin Red. For architecture and art history, get the Blue Guide. For nightlife, try the TimeOut guide. Overall, people say that the Rough Guide is very good. Whatever guidebook you choose, watch your belongings in Barcelona. Pickpocketing is an industry there, esp. in the Old City and on La Rambla. Women should not carry purses. Men should keep money in a money belt or zippered inner jacket pocket. Limit yourself to one camera that you can keep in your hands at all times.
