Well worth the money. This book and the Rick Steve's Book were very good guides as to what to wear; what to take; where to stay when family is not available; insight stuff that even the locals didn't know. My Kid (just 20) is best friends with a French Family who was stationed in town for a while. He had the opportunity to go to Europe and live with his best friends family as they traveled throughout Europe.
You don't need nothing else for your trip. I used this book for my interrail trip in 2004. A must have. In addition, it's a very delightful book to read even for the countries and cities you don't visit. Since I lost the book on my way back, I repurchased it. It's a very useful guide including hotel numbers, mini maps of cities and information about popular places.
I would not leave for any backpacking trip without a Lonely Planet guidebook in hand. This guide made planning my Europe trip very simple. The contact information is up-to-date and the descriptions of hostels, restaurants and attractions are spot-on.
and all on a "backpackers" budget. Has everything I need in one book, I plan on taking it to Europe with me. Maps, food, prices, sightseeing.
Also, I wanted to give it a 4 star rating but clicked wrong and it wouldn't let me change it. So far it seems it will be useful, but I can't really say until after my trip. Ask in two months.
