The Explorer Portugal doesn't cover that many destinations as the Eyewitness book does. But it gives all destinations a rating and is much more honest when it comes to tell about the not so glorious parts of a destination.

This guide, in German only, isn't an ordinary Travel guide. It tells us in detail about the art and architecture of  towns in Portugal like Lisbon, Coimbra, Braga, Évora etc. If you can read German and are an art lover, this book is wonderful.

Top 10 Lisbon

Read about this Travel Book Series

Buy or read about this book

A pocket guide, which of course can't be compared to the "big" Eyewitness book for Lisbon, but regarding hotels and restaurants, this is easier to use. But the Top 10 Book is just a supplement to the "big" Eyewitness guide (or another guide). It isn't good enough as your only Lisbon guide.

With GPS and everything, the "old map" is till very important when travelling around in a country. The small "GPS screen" can't replace the map. Please choose the Michelin map which cover the area where you are going to drive.
