Let's Go 2000: Europe : The World's Bestselling Budget Travel Series (Let's Go. Europe, 2000)

Amazon.com
Let's Go, the budget-minded guidebook series started by Harvard University students in 1960, returns to Europe for a year 2000 update. The guide starts off with basic European travel necessities: visa updates, how to score the cheapest airfares (couriers, charters, consolidators), the latest on the Euro, and whether or not you should invest in a Eurail Pass. Countries are listed alphabetically, with more prominent ones (Italy, France, England, Germany) getting the most space while smaller countries register just one page (Andorra, Malta). Not surprisingly, the best deals can be found in eastern Europe ($15 hostels in Estonia, $2 dinners in Slovakia). Each city lists the lowdown on the best hostels and inns, cheap eats, sights, entertainment, and day-trip options. The appendix is packed with practical information like basic phrases in numerous languages (including Dutch and Latvian), a glossary of common terms, and even Metro maps. Finally, if you need a little help planning your trip, check out the suggested itineraries. --Jill Fergus
