I was excited to find this book for a trip going to only Bruges and Brussels, but unfortunately it was a waste of money. One of the most important things for any travel guide are maps, and neither my husband nor I (both experienced travelers) could make head or tail of the maps in this book. The historical type info was fine, but the info you really need – hotels, restaurants, etc – was very limited. After our first day, we stopped bothering with the guide, and it went in the trash.

This is typical Rick Steves guide book quality. It is focused only on those two cities so you don’t get the context you usually get with a full country or region book, but for visiting just those two places it is fine and lighter than an entire book.
