Top 10 Moscow (Pocket Travel Guide)

Handy travel guide. I purchased it for my upcoming trip to Russia, where I'll be spending a 3-day weekend in Moscow so didn't want a huge book just for that city. The maps will come in handy, as I tend to get lost even when I'm following very specific directions. I think I'll be frequenting the "Street Smart" section, with such Top 10 lists as "Things to Avoid" and "Moscow on a Budget". My only complaint is that there's several full-page or even two-page spread photos, which I think are a bit of an unnecessary addition to a travel guide. But that's my opinion, and I realize some people might like the photos to get them pumped or help them find things.

We found this book very useful for a 4-day visit to Moscow and its small size meant we could take it along in a pocket or purse. The only thing I found a bit annoying was that there isn't a metro map that shows the colors and numbers of the lines; there is a street map with metro stations marked, and a general transportation map that shows bus, tram, and metro lines in the center of the city, but not a complete map of the metro system.

This little book saved us more than once on our trip to Russia. It is hard to find English-speaking people who can give directions over there so if we were lost we just showed the picture of where we wanted to go and were guided. Also when looking for churches or other buildings it's the only way to know exactly what it is you're looking at since there aren't English signs. For our next trips we'll definitely purchase these guides again.

I am not cool. I am not worldly. I love to travel.I have used Eyewitness books (with unecessary pages hacked out of them, per Rick Steve's sensible advice) for European travel since about 1997.Eyewitness understands readers.No flabby, verbose posturing.No English-Major-essayfication.Just useful lists, with photos in a consistently useful format. If you're not a sophisticate, jet-setting hipster, always spend the money on Eyewitness.

DK guides are outstanding. I purchased the digital kindle version and found it less user friendly and detailed than the paper version. That may just be me.

I am taking a trip in November 2019 and this book is very relevant and up to date. I love DK books.

DK has the best guides in the business, but the Top 10 are only partially complete. One needs to do considerably more research in advance...then the Top 10 are great for carrying in your handbag or coat pocket. The maps are excellent and worth the price alone.

I have looked it over and know it will help when I am in Russia in August. worth a try

Travelled to Moscow with this book and found it invaluable. Maps and information all very accurate at the time I travelled.
