"[Smyczynski's] book would be a worthwhile inclusion in any traveler’s resource library. She presents all the most notable sites on each itinerary. For each, she also offers insights on a few less well-known venues that make a journey more satisfying... [This is] a travel guide that is well organized, up to date and generally insightful in selecting its destinations. This will be a valuable reference for those planning anything from day trips to weekend getaways to longer vacations."
