This guide didn't work for me. It was big on monuments and big buildings, which is not so much why I travel, and didn't have the basic travel advice I look for that is harder to find on places like TripAdvisor (like "you need to buy and then also validate public transit tickets, and the places you do so look like boxes on posts, and sometimes they are in the vehicle and often they are at the station"). It also didn't have much information even on the monuments/big buildings. I'd say you'd do better saving some Wikipedia pages to your phone than buying and packing this book (I didn't do either, but I didn't know I wasn't going to like it much when I got it)... ( )
