2 comments about Switzerland '99: The Complete Guide with Mountain Drives, Alpine Hikes and City Walking Tours (Fodor's Gold Guides).

1. I'm not quite the author; I'm the editor of the 1999 edition and I'd like to give a "backstage" peek at the book. Besides covering the major cities and tourist sights, the incredible updating team (including half-a-dozen Swiss residents) added dozens of discoveries and favorite spots. For instance, our section on the Jungfrau region now includes the beautiful village of Bonigen---it's just five minutes from Interlaken, yet it's out of the main, tourist-trammeled path. There's a great new drive through the Emmental, the farm-dotted region just outside of Bern where traditional "Swiss" cheese is produced. The new late-night restaurants in Neuchatel, the upcoming winegrower's festival in Vevey, tempting new hotel and restaurant reviews throughout the country---it's all here. Perfect for the first-timer or the twelfth-timer. Bon voyage!



2. Of the several travel books that we purchased before our trip to Switzerland, this was easily the best. Well organized and laid out, it was the only guidebook we took with us last year and the only guidebook we will take with us this year when we return to Switzerland. Karen Brown's book on Swiss inns and itineraries was also helpful, but not comprehensive, as is this book.

1 comments about Austria/Switzerland/Slovenia (AAA Deluxe Road Map).

1. I ordered this map, but am returning it as it doesn't seem to offer any greater detail than a typical rental car map. While it is larger than the maps in my guide books, it lacks detail. For example, I couldn't see how to get to the Skocjan Caves or Predjama Castle in Slovenia - two fairly major "sights." My recommendation: use the free viamichelin.com site instead.
