Rating:  Summary: Tudo bom! Great guide! Review: This was a really good book to bring with me to Portugal. I was there for over a week, and stayed with a Portuguese friend. I judge a guide to be be good when a "native" of the region refers to, mainly agrees with, and learns something from the book. I honestly did not stay at hotels, so I cannot say how accurate it was for that sort of information. But in terms of historical and site specific information, it was quite a good book to have!

Rating:  Summary: Another Successful Lonely Planet Guide Review: We recently travelled in Portugal using this guide as our sole source of information. As always, the Lonely Planet series steers independent travelers to the finest little-known places. Maps, evaluations, and descriptions are all excellent and easy to find at a glance. We never travel without the Lonely Planet guides, and found this one excellent as usual.
