Personally I like the Time Out Guides best of all but that wasn’t one of your choices.Out of the two you menoitned I would select the Eyewitness but it really comes down to what you intend to get out of a travel book. One of the others was right in saying that it’s a bit kindergarden. The Eyewitness guides are typically heavy on the pictures and a bit light on the deep details. If you’re more of a visual person then I would go this route since it will give you a good idea of what there is to see in a particular place.The Lonely Planet guides seem to be more targeted at the budget traveler or the backpacker as a general rule of thumb and they’re an excellent resource if that’s the kind of travel that you do. While these guides also include pictures, the text seems to be more of the focus.If you can afford it I would go for both since they kind of fill different needs.Happy travels!
