Michelin Must Sees Amsterdam (Must See Guides/Michelin)

We have always liked the Michelin Guides, and this one is excellent. No paid-for suggestions, just the best reviews of sights and restaurants.

Not enough information about the city and the dutch people and the country. The map is also very poor on detail.

This is a very basic guide . I was thinking of a tradicional Green Guide with some detailed información to visit the museums mostly on the major paintings. Only after it arrived I understood that it is a weekend visit guide , for this purpose you can have a guide for free in internet,

Print very small. Okay if you have perfect vision and lots of light.

Excellent guide. Everything covered. We look forward to our visit and putting it to use.

Just what you need to carry along.

excellent

My husband and I are great fans of the Michelin Green Guides...we find them the most informative, user-friendly, and reader-friendly with beautiful illustrations and colourful pages. All important attractions are usually well-marked and star-rated with plenty of useful information on opening hours, ticket prices, where to buy tickets, transport and how to get there, a map of the area, a diagram or illustration of the building or structure etc. We couldnt find a green guide for Amsterdam so decided to go for this 'Must-See' version instead. Must say the 'Must-See' was very disappointing indeed. Aside from listing names of the must-see attractions and very (very) brief descriptions, there was no other useful or relevant information relating to any attractions...very frustrating. Hardly any maps, and the ones that were there were rubbish and useless. I ended up being very annoyed by this book. Thankfully we had sensibly also packed a Lonely Planet (Usually not my first choice due to drab monotone colours in their text pages) which ended up saving our life! Do not waste your money. Even the fact that it is small, compact and easily fits in a handbag did not make it worthwhile.
