Mona Winks:  Self-Guided Tours of Europe's Top Museums
     by Rick Steves & Gene Openshaw Fourth ed 417p.
Let's face it, museums can  ruin a perfectly good vacation.  Boring statues, mediocre Madonnas and miles of twisted hallways lie between you and the handful of masterpieces you are traveling to Europe to see.  You need Mona Winks' fun, easy to follow collection of self-guided tours covering the highlights of Europe's top 20-plus museums and cultural sights--all for the price you'd pay in Europe for one stuffy, poorly-translated, single-museum guidebook.  With Mona you'll spend just a couple of hours in each museum, making your way easily and efficiently through its most important treasures.

 Mona's 200 maps and illustrations, earthy humor and no-apologies opinions will guide you through:

  • Paris:  Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Pompidou, Historic Paris Walks and Versailles.
  • London:  British Museum and Library, Westminster Abby and Historic Walk, Tate and National Gallery.
  • Amsterdam:  Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum.
