 Not up to Lonely Planet's usual standard August 24, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
After having tried a few other guidebook series, I am back to Lonely Planet, as these are simply standard-setting in terms of travellers' reference.
But this is the exception that confirms the rule (along with Lonely Planet Iceland & Faroes). Though published last year, so much of the basic information is not up-to-date - and several recommendations seem like an absolute mystery as they in no way live up to Lonely Planet's usual criteria.
Just too many times I found myself planning according to the book's information and recommendations, and ended up finding nothing or not finding the expected. The examples are too many to be ust coincidence and 'because things change'. I will therefore get rid of this one, and try Footprint or The Rough Guide next time I go to Portugal.
Yet, my critical rating of this guidebook should also be seen in the light of my high expectations, as Lonely Planet - mostly - does set the standard. Try again - new edition.

We always use Lonely Planet because they tell it like it is---good, bad and ugly !
This latest book on Portugal is no exception.
Wonderful !

This guide excels in the ins and outs of
travel by other than rental car and plush
hotels. The public transportation information
is useful.
