First time to Europe? It’s our 57th. There isn't a hostel in Hungary we haven’t tested, a beer in Brussels we haven’t imbibed, or a metro line in Madrid we haven’t mastered. After going through the ups and downs, we know the ins and outs. Part local expert, part goofy travel companion, Let’s Go Europe lays down some Continental #realtalk: the secret ways to avoid lines at the Louvre; the truly undiscovered (read: not Dubrovnik) gems of the Croatian coast; and yes, you do have spanakopita stuck in your teeth.

Review:

"The Bible of the budget traveler." Boston Globe
"The granddaddy of budget guides." New York Times
"For independent travelers on a budget, with an emphasis on whatever's hip, fun, or free." Associated Press
"Refreshingly youthful and opinionated. Let’s Go has retained its super-low-budget approach, is the best resource for shoestring travelers, and offers the best coverage on hosteling and the alternative nightlife scene." Rick Steves
"Value-packed, unbeatable, accurate, and comprehensive." Los Angeles Times
"The guides are aimed not only at young budget travelers but at the independent traveler; a sort of streetwise cookbook for traveling alone." New York Times
"Unbeatable; good sight-seeing advice; up-to-date info on restaurants, hotels, and inns; a commitment to money-saving travel; and a wry style that brightens nearly every page." Washington Post
"All the dirt, dirt cheap." People
"Let's Go follows the creed that you don't have to toss your life's savings to the wind to travel unless you want to." Salt Lake Tribune
"The writers seem to have experienced every rooster-packed bus and lunar-surfaced mattress about which they write." New York Times
"[Let's Go's] devoted updaters really walk the walk (and thumb the ride, and trek the trail). Learn how to fish, haggle, find work anywhere." Food & Wine
"A world-wise traveling companion always ready with friendly advice and helpful hints, all sprinkled with a bit of wit." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Lighthearted and sophisticated, informative and fun to read. [Let's Go] helps the novice traveler navigate like a knowledgeable old hand." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"The serious mission at the book's core reveals itself in exhortations to respect the culture and the environment and, if possible, to visit as a volunteer, a student, or a teacher rather than a tourist." San Francisco Chronicle
