Is this the right book for me?

Should I get this Snapshot guide in addition to Rick's full-length Portugal guidebook?

Nope! Our Snapshot guides are simply excerpted chapters from our full-length guidebooks. Snapshot: Lisbon covers the exact same topics as the Lisbon and Sintra chapters of Rick Steves Portugal — the same hotels, same restaurants, same sightseeing information, same everything.
