Is This the Right Book for Me?

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

Nope! Our Snapshot guides are simply excerpted chapters from our full-length guidebooks. Snapshot: Kraków, Warsaw & Gdańsk covers the exact same topics as the Poland chapters of Rick Steves Central Europe — the same hotels, same restaurants, same sightseeing information, same everything.

Both this travel book and the one on “Berlin” as received are excellent. Planning trips is almost as much fun as the trip itself. I’m now pouring over the texts so that I have an informed base line of local data. We have hired a professional guide to lead our group, but it’s important to me to know where we are, and what we’re looking at. Thank you Rick and team.

Good information. Small profile. Easy to pack.

This book contains the usual practical detail that Rick Steves books are known for. It is a few years old and could use an update.

Excellent book. Covers all you would want to know before getting to the cities/towns. Great idea to send it in the tour kit.
