Editorial Review:

"Berlitz Pocket Maps" are small in size, but big on detail. Genuinely pocketable and immensely practical - these compact maps are ideal for travellers who require quick and easy orientation. These ground-breaking, high definition, pop-up maps with striking graphics also contain a comprehensive index for ease of use. They have tear-resistant folds for the most inclement weather conditions. Other features include: a list of the top 10 sights which are cross referenced with the map helping the visitor to get the best out of a short stay; key local phrases and expressions to help every traveller get by; a section on eating out - identifying the best local eateries in both the well-trodden and off-the-beaten-track places.

Written from a British point-of-view. 3 out of 5 stars.
42 of 45 people found this review helpful.

If you live in the USA, this is a fine book to get you pointed in the right direction. However the book is really written for British or Irish persons. Most of the information is dependant on your being a citizen of an EU nation.

Complete information and just what I needed 5 years ago 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I like the information that is presented in this book: history, culture, jobs, relocation, business...etc. It is well presented and organized. Although the author is speaking to his British folks, it can be used for Americans just fine. The only drawback is that it is 5 years old, so I hope it is still relevant today.

Editorial Review:

Authoritative information for those moving to another country. Perfect for students going to school abroad or business people who have been transferred, the Live & Work series is an indispensable source of information on living in another country.

Hilarious, a great read! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I laughed out loud
It is a long time since I have enjoyed a travel book so much that I laughed out loud. However, I have found myself smiling and chuckling on the metro each day since I picked up this hugely enjoyable read. The author provides us with plenty of invaluable tips on where to go and how to get there, with hundreds of restaurant and site reviews. But the great thing about this book is that everything has been tried and tested by one man, and he is a man with a top sense of humour and a fund of hilarious annecdotes about his fellow diners and visitors. I have worked in Paris for many years and I recognise so many of my favourite places in his stories and listings. Yet this fellow Englishman seems to know of many absolute treasures that have been hidden under my nose for years. I cannot wait to try more of them. I might even treat myself to a visit to Brussels, on the strength of his suggestions. An enjoyable read and a genuine key to any city.

Editorial Review:

This book contains almost 1,000 reviews and listings: hotels, from chateaux to cozy attics; restaurants, cafes and bars loved by the locals; museums and sights, from the classic to the offbeat to the bizarre; bargains! journey upgrades, half-price hotel rooms and some serious shopping; nightlife - with gentle suggestions for the morning after; Waterloo and the Thames; the best hotels, restaurants, sights and attractions, just a short walk from the Eurostar terminal; Eurostar travelers' guide: the low-down on bargain tickets, services and facilities - on board, en route and on arrival; fast-track directions from the station to all addresses. All this plus learn to tango in a chocolate shop, sleep in Gothic splendor under the flying buttresses of a 16th-century church or sip green tea and have a Turkish bath in the mosque where a Hollywood goddess married her prince. (5 1/4 x 8 1/2, 384 pages, illustrations, maps)
