5 comments about Fodor's Citypack Washington, D.C. 4th Edition (Citypacks).

1. Tackling a new American city is always a challenge but this little guide gave me a handful of essential "must-sees" with transportation and location all mapped out. It also helped identify the "must-not-sees" - very helpful when time is limited.



2. Fodor's Washington D.C. Citypack is worth the money spent. When I needed research information on the Capitol for my next novel, I stumbled across this book online. I love it. There are surely books that contain more information, but for the purpose it serves, Fodor's is excellent.

   Physically, it's small, thin, lightweight, colorful, and laminated. This allows it to be carried in pocket or purse and used repeatedly at a moment's notice--not as a desk-bound reference tome. The laminated cover makes it durable. Feels cool too. The inside covers are a decent map of the key tourist spots, which is a nice supplement to the larger and more thorough pull-out map provided.

   The text is divided into color-keyed sections that list a brief history of the city, plus good tips on how-to, where-to, when- o, and why-to visit the choice locations, such as monuments, museums, gardens, restaurants, or entertainment hotspots. The text is clear and concise. I would pick up a Fodor's Travel Guide to any major city I visited without hesitation. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.




3. We toured D.C. with this citypack are can't imagine how others do not! The top 25 list helps organize what's best to see and do with a little historical background and info. for each destination/activity. There are sample walks and itineraries, as well as a detailed up-to-date city map.

   Oh my goodness, for [the price], you cannot beat these lightweight and extremely handy guides.




4. If you are a mad tourist like me who wants to pack in all the signature sites of a destination, this book is the best guide you'll find.

   It gives you essential information on the top 25 things to do / see as well as a further list of additional interesting places / things. There are shopping / eating / entertainment recommendations too.

   The information is concise and makes planning your holiday as easy as 1, 2, 3!!!

   Also, fits nicely into your handbag or jacket pocket and doesn't weigh you down!!




5. Convenient size--it will fit easily in your purse or back pocket, and a pull-out full-size city map of D.C. make this "Citypack" a good guide to the nation's capital.
   
   A lot of information is presented on landmarks, parks, and other points of interest. A "Where to..." section gives recommendations on food, shopping and entertainment.
   
   I highly recommend the Washington D.C. Citypack by Fodor's.

1. As a new resident of Washington D.C., this book, "Short Bike Rides: Washington D.C.," has become for my family an invaluable introduction of the area's numerous bike trails and routes. Each route is introduced with a short synopsis of its main attractions and challenges, followed by precise yet easy to follow directions. The book was obviously well researched.

5 comments about Washington, D.C., with Kids, 2002-2003.

1. This book makes seeing Washington so easy and painless. The sights are grouped according to location, so you know what you can see together in a short amount of time. I discovered gems in Washington that I never knew existed! And just when the kids are getting cranky and hungry, there is a list of good places to eat. The directions by metro are very helpful and well done. I highly recommend this book to natives and visitors alike!



2. I found this book easy to read, full of useful and fun information. I have recommended to friends that do not have children and are planning a trip to the nation's capitol.
   The information is interesting and concise. The book is well-written and includes many interesting and little known bits of information, as well as the more typical tourist spots.



3. Washington, D.C. is the most unique city in the world. Whether you are visiting the area or live there, one cannot possibly know the wealth of information found in Washington, D.C. with Kids. I grew up in the area, but I have lived away for more than twenty years. Without this guide, I would have difficutly finding the places I want to see when I am back. I wish there had been such a book when my kids were younger. It's always such a challenge finding entertaining and worthwhile activities when on family trips. Imagine showing up in a city and having a resource that gives you a map, a subway map, addresses of places, times of operation, and even suggestions for meals! This book even indicates which venues are appropriate for various age groups. All of that and more is found in this superb volume. It's a "must have" for anyone planning a visit to Washington, D.C.



4. This is the only EDUCATIONAL guide to Washington, DC with kids -- and is now available in its 2nd Edition, published by Fodor's.
   The second edition completely updates the sites and the restaurants and the recommendations -- based on input from readers as well as extensive research by the authors.
   Washington, D.C. with Kids, 2nd Edition (Fodor's) is available on the Web and through all major bookstores!
   HIGHLY recommended by its readers!



5. It's clearly written, very informative, and enjoyable to read besides. I learned a lot from this book. I learned there are many more things to see and do in Washington than I knew. It's an invaluable planning aid, since I now know which sites will bore our son and which he will enjoy. The book also gives ideas on how children can have educational fun in our capital, tips on getting around, and more.

1 comments about ABC Washington DC: City Guides for Kids.

1. My twin 4 year olds love this series because they enjoy practicing their letters while I can tell them stories of the places pictured in the book. We haven't traveled to DC yet, but we bought the other ABC books and traveled with them and enjoyed finding the places pictured. There's not much else out there for traveling with kids; these books fill that need.

1. Crossword puzzles, cartons, and clever artwork make this book a great way to entertain and educate your kids about one of the greatest places to visit in the country. Each review reveals fun facts and an opportunity for kids to write, draw, or just play on the page.
