Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Slovenia (Country Guide)
Book Review: An indespensible guide for the traveler
Summary: 5 Stars
I visited Slovenia this summer and this book was invaluable in my trip. Having done the trip I can now say that I could have used this book even more than I did (which was quite extensively).
Overall the guide does an excellent job of balancing interesting facts and background about the areas around Slovenia with useful traveler information about hotels, internet locations, laundry site, rail/bus schedules and prices. Although the guide was published in 2007, I found the prices to be accurate and the bus/train information to be invaluable (not so much in exact times but it prices and locations that could be reached from any one town or city). For example, I was able to find a free internet site in the capital during my day of site-seeing.
The biggest thing I got from this guide was flexibility. I was solo backpacking and this let me leave the trip to go where I wanted. I could look up any city. Find if it had connections to where I was, what prices its hotels were, etc. In this way, the guide is ideal for people backpacking or going on very flexible trips. However, it does not shy away from giving top notch hotels and places to stay.
The restaurant reviews in particular were great for this book. I only had one day in the capital and I tried the author's choice. The one thing I will note though, is that the name of the restaurant had changed since this book was published. It was still easy to find and the description left no doubt that I had found the right place. It was an amazing, memorable and affordable meal in a place that I would probably not have found in such a short time on my own.
I visited Kobarid and Ljubljana and found the sections on both of the these places to be extremely accurate and the maps to be very helpful. The reviews of the attractions at each of these places were spot on and helped me chose the best places to see in the time I had available.
This is a must have book, no mater what kind of traveling you are doing. I only hope that they come out with a more updated guide as the 2007 one is already becoming outdated in minor spots.
