Been There, Loved It

This is one of those inclusive and thorough travel guides that's complete. Carried it with me, matched the pages and the places, and it all fit. A lot of history and overview, which makes it better than the books that tell you "turn left at the statue and look at the palace."

The photos are better than most local postcards, too bad you can't tear them out and mail them to friends.

Overall, a terrific companion, but make sure to pack it when you go. The other couple traveling with us kept borrowing ours, and we had to keep asking for it back.

The Heart of Two Cities from a writer with heart!

Masha Nordbye has provided far more than a simple guide to these fascinating cities. She writes with a clarity and deep personal knowledge that can bring these places alive for even the most armchair bound traveller. The specifics are there, certainly, but it is her love for these places that establishes this wonderful book as an adventure in just the reading of it. It is alone at the top of the list.
