If you buy only one guide, this is it!, 9. Februar 2000
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Israel & the Palestinian Territories (Lonely Planet Israel & the Palestinian Territories) (Taschenbuch)
I purchased the Lonely Planet Guide, the Knopf Guide to the Holy Land, and the Insight Guide for Israel. All are excellent resources, and really seem to serve different needs.
The Lonely Planet Guide is way ahead in providing helpful info about the day-to-day details of your trip. It has more restaurant and hotel listings and tells you about the feel of the place. It provides suggested iteneraries, which I find especially nice. Finally, it gives details on getting from place to place, which can really help reduce vacation stress.
The Knopf Guide to the Holy Land is a truly beautiful volume which manages to capture the people and history like nothing else. It has fold-out views of the Via Dolorosa and its coverage of all the sites is amazingly detailed and really prepares you to get the most out of your visit.
The Insight Guide's color pictures are nice and I like their presentation of the history, but the Knopf Guide really excells in this, so I find myself using the Insight Guide just as another opinion on which sights to see.
We'll be carrying the LPG to get places, but the Knopf Guide will be our reference once we arrive.
All in all, the Lonely Planet Guide is the must-buy book in this category. Buy the Knopf Guide second.
