Product Description
Now in its sixth edition, Daytrips Germany has long been a favorite guidebook for adventurous travelers who prefer to make their own tours. This latest revision covers the tremendous changes taking place, especially in Berlin and the East, as well as the momentous changeover to a new monetary system and the growing importance of the Internet as a source of up-to-the-minute factual data. Each of the 60 one-day adventures is complete with a do-it-yourself walking tour, a map, full travel directions, time and weather considerations, restaurant suggestions, background information, and concise descriptions of all worthwhile sights. Destinations in Bavaria include: Munich, Nymphenburg, Lake Starnberg, the Ammersee, Oberammergau and Linderhof, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Zugspitze, Mittenwald, Fussen and Neuschwanstein, Lindau, Augsburg, Ulm, Rothenburg, Wurzburg, Nurnberg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Regensburg, the Chiemsee, Bad Reichenhall, Berchtesgaden, and the Wendelstein. In the Rhineland they are: Frankfurt, Mainz, Wiesbaden, a Rhine cruise, Rudesheim, Koblenz, Trier, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Limburg, Bad Homburg, Marburg, Aschaffenburg, Miltenberg, Michelstadt, Darmstadt, Heidelberg, Worms, Baden-Baden, Triberg, and Freiburg. Up north, the trips include: Hamburg, Bremen, Bremerhaven, Schleswig, Lubeck, Luneburg, Celle, and Goslar. In the East they include: Berlin (four walking tours), Sans Souci, Potsdam, Dresden, Leipzig, and Wittenberg. And, just in case travelers get hungry seeing all this, there is a comprehensive menu translator.

 Appropriate title September 30, 2008
I have not read the entire book, but it seems to deliver what the title promises. Basically what do I do when I get off the train station in a town--each guide section has a simple walking tour with some interesting facts.
 Great book! March 25, 2008
The only thing that could be better if it were updated a little more. Things are constantly changing, so prices are probably changed, and some roads are no longer the same. I love the map of the cities, I just wish there were more cities! It is a great book to have if you are just doing a daytrip to that specific city though!
Excellent book October 7, 2007

I purchased three books prior to our trip to Germany. This was by far the best for what we wanted to do. We were in Heidelberg for work, and had to stay fairly close, so the ability to plan day trips to other cities was perfect for us. The directions were clear and almost always completely accurate.

Useful but boring, the same format over and over. The 2002 edition I just received is really out of date. Maps are less useful since part of the print becomes part of the binding. Rick Steve's book, Germany and Austria 2007, is so much more enjoyable to read.

We, my wife and I, found the daytrips very informative.How else would we have found the famous "Rauchbier" in Bamberg? It alone was worth the price of the book. We went to several of the trips explained in the book during our three week stay in Bavaria. I will definitely take it again if we can make another trip to Germany.
