Hey dudes! :D
Me and my friends are travelling around france, spain and portugal for a month and visiting all those huge cities (Paris, Amsterdam, Lissabon, Madrid, Barcelona, Nice...) and only 1 or 2 smaller ones!
I looked for some guides for those 3 countries but couldn't find any- only some for whole europe. but they are mostly huge or not that informative since we are only visiting some huge cities in west europe :o
So my question to you all is: How did you manage this problem on your trip? Did you buy some cheep and small Guides (like marco polo ones) for the most important cities or did you buy a huge guide for whole europe or is there any guide for the western part of europe?? Since we are only in huge cities it would be kind of wasted buying a guide for a whole country...what do you think? Or can you get enough information at some touristic information stations (do you even recommend a station or a guide for one of the cities we are visiting?) ?
Would be so kind answering this question- i am a totally beginner in travelling and every tip and experience you made is probably very helpful for me! ||
Greetings
Reisejule :D

Hi.
I did it always this way:
- one big travel guide book (Lonely Planet or Rough Guide)
- Thomas Cook train schedules Europe:

- detailed information (high lights, local bars and discos) directly from the staff in the hostels. The mostly offer information and know the up to date places, as they are young as well.
Or ask someone here from the city guides:
