Book Reviews of Switzerland (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
Book Review: A fun and thorough guide
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Swiss/US dual citizen, currently living in Rhode Island, but having spent a good 30 years in Switzerland, I was eager to get this travel guide. I ordered it in part out of curiousity to see how my favorite travel guide publisher would portray Switzerland, and in part to have a book to be able to show my friends where I come from.
I have to say that this travel guide more than pleasantly surprised me. With its beautiful illustrations, this book is not only fun to read, but also loaded with accurate and valuable information on all the major (and minor) sights that Switzerland has to offer.
Having lived in Zurich myself, I was pleasantly surprised how thorough this guide explores the different points of interest and learned a thing or two I did not know myself. Even the list of Restaurants was excellent. Do go and enjoy a meal at my favorite restaurant in Zurich, the "Kronenhalle" (bit pricey but well worthwhile). For an inexpensive and hearty meal, I would recommend the "Zeughauskeller" in addition to the list.
The book also contains a section on the different food specialties that Switzerland has to offer, which is a great feature for anyone who likes to immerse themselves in the local culture and is willing to live for a week or two abroad, resisting the urge of running to McDonalds.
Take it from someone who lived there: This book is by far the most comprehensive guide to Switzerland available today.
