Footprint Cardiff (Footprint - Pocket Guides) Review

Footprint Cardiff (Footprint - Pocket Guides)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had already purchased several useful guides on Wales, The Rough Guide to Wales and Wales by The Lonely Planet, both had their strongpoints, are larger versus this handy pocket size. I wanted more detail on Cardiff so I purchase this next. This pocket size guide has something I value a lot; more internet websites listing for hotels, other places of interest, with a succinct description. Naturally, it has a more expansive list of places to stay, dine, with price range coding. Also suggestions on what to sight see, as one would expect. It is well organized and also has information on the surrounding South Wales area. It has a short chronology of the history of the area. Nice city section and area maps are in the final pages. Limited black and white photos are interspersed in this guide, more would have delighted. This guide had information on local golf with websites. I am an avid golfer and have other golf guides that cover that topic, but did not have some of these included.

Smart, contemporary and compact guide helping travellers discover more from their city visit. Covers main attractions but also gives the freedom to escape the tourist trail.

Lonely Planet Wales Review

I usually get both the Lonely Planet and Rough Guides for my trips, and generally both are good. In this case there is no comparison, and I would recommend just getting the Rough Guide. It's 585 pages compared to Lonely Planet's slim 332 and contains much more detailed information. The fourth edition of the Rough Guide (May 2003) is even less expensive! And where Lonely Planet usually wins, in color photographs and maps, the Rough Guide has at least caught up. I do like Lonely Planet's giving phone code and population for each city/town/village, but that alone doesn't make it worth carrying around!

Simply a great book about Wales, with lively discussion of culture, history, and people. Suggestions about where to go and what to see, and fine pictures to give a flavor of the countryside before you arrive.

This guide explores the nation that produced such charismatic personalities as David Lloyd-George, Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton, and how Wales is facing up to the challenges of the 1990s. This edition features updated chapters, new photographs, and detailed information on travel and accommodation. It should be a useful and practical companion for locals and visitors alike. The book includes tips on excursions, accommodation and restaurants.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Lonely Planet Wales (Country Travel Guide) Review

Lonely Planet Guides are for "advanced" travellers, but this one is usable and very fine even for those of us who aren't in that category. It also seems to be the sole "Wales only" guidebook now available, so for those who plan to travel only in Wales and want detailed information about places, history, transportation etc. it is excellent. Although these days even the un-advanced can plan a trip by websites, most of us need a guide such as this to get started, and the material here proved more reliable than that on some websites. Realistic information about travel distances and times, cautious advice on how to climb Mt. Snowdon, and background about Welsh mythology all can be found here. The guide also tries to counter the "theme park" atmosphere by including the sad history of the collapse of mining and industry.
