I bought this book before going to Austria and Switzerland and was shocked by how primitive and incomplete it was. On Geneva, he offers 2 lines - 'The most boring city, not worth a visit.' Hello? Guidebook? Same deal on Zurich. The author packs certain sophomoric smugness, a know-it-all frat brother who tells you how to sneak for free into the second half of a show, that sort of clever little corner-cutting. If you have any serious curiosity about a country and want to get a bit off his beer-drinking trail, his book becomes useless. I bought it here, returned it for a refund (thanks, amazon!) and bought a very smart Lonely Planet guide in Vienna for twice the price of this website. Get the Lonely Planet and get it here!
