4 out of 5 stars Great Little Guides for the Design Savvy   September 9, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My husband and I are big fans of the Wallpaper series and we don't travel to a new city without one. You should be aware, however that this isn't the only guide you buy when you visit a city - it's just the one you refer to for hip, stylish and unusual restaurants, hotels and sites. Oh so much fun if you are an architect (both of us are), designer or artsy city dweller. Most other folks might feel a bit disappointed.


1 out of 5 stars Useless for travelers!   April 13, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This isn't worth the $8.95 or whatever it costs. For all of Munich, this guide lists 4 landmarks. That's it! The only person who I can imagine might possibly like this pamphlet is someone who had only 1 hour to spend in Munich and could only pick 1 single thing to do... This book is a waste; half of its pages are blank "notes" pages for you to write on...?! There aren't more than 4 sentences about any single landmark, store, hotel, etc... I can't imagine who they thought was going to use this book. I am returning mine because it can't help me plan my trip to Munich!
