country is covered in great detail. If you are primarily traveling in the
Eastern region of Europe, then this is just the book for you.
Lonely Planet Central Europe

on independent travel in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary,
Liechtenstein, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Included is a
language section with useful phrases in German, Czech, Hungarian, Polish,
Slovak, and Slovene of color photos. 130 detailed maps.
While this book covers fewer countries, each
country is covered in great detail. If you are primarily traveling in
the central/eastern region of Europe, then this is just the book for you. In
fact I used the previous edition of this guide on my recent trip to
central/eastern Europe. Very helpful.
The Rough Guide to Europe on a Budget
Thirty-two (32) countries are profiled while bringing readers up to speed on
Europe's cultural, political, and contemporary life. The book includes suggested
itineraries, adventure travel options, maps, hostel listings, transportation
information, festivals, arts and culture, top attractions, climate charts and
daily budget estimates. 1264 pages.
This guide lacks the in-depth information and
precise maps that are a hallmark of Lonely Planet guides, but is still a good
choice.
