Completely revised and updated, Let's Go: Germany is the comprehensive guide for the discerning traveler to Deutschland. This edition features greatly expanded coverage of Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich, as well as new coverage of the towns of Olberhau and Seiffen, while keeping all the practical tips that only Let's Go's forty-five years of travel savvy can provide. Insider information will help you find the best Wurst (or vegetarian equivalent), while new features uncover the hidden gems of Germany, from zeppelin rides to hilltop monastery-breweries. Whether you'd rather explore the world's largest non-nuclear submarine or order your beer by the meter, Let's Go already has your umlauts packed.
I have not used Let's Go in years but so far everything in here looks great! Sure wish I had more time in Germany to see more of the things they recommend but we'll just have to be selective.
Great for younger travelers, good resource for any budget traveller

I've used Let's Go books in the past and have always loved them. This one is no exception, but it's also the first one I've purchased for a European trip. If you are a student, or on a budget, it's perfect. The weakness - it ONLY reviews budget and hostel lodging options. Also, it assumes you are only hiking or taking trains. However, we're planning on spending part of our time driving and exploring some of the smaller out of the way towns and staying some nights in non-budget locations, so I'm also ordering some other guide books to complement this one.
brilliant! way better than lonely planet!

I just got back from a summer trip to Germany and Let's Go was my constant companion. My Let's Go guide survived violent almost-deadly storms on Lake Constance, brave climbs straight up the cliffs of the Rhineland, and not just one glass of fabulous German wine spilled on its pages. The Southwest Germany section is especially intriguing and rich in wilderness adventures (but watch out for those nettles!). A definite "thumbpick" for this book! :-P
