Product Description
Fodor’s see it New Zealand is perfect for travelers who want to understand New Zealand history and culture before they arrive, and experience the country like a native while they’re there.
Overflowing with brilliant color photography, this is the only illustrated guide that provides the practical information that you need while traveling—complete restaurant and hotel reviews with exact prices for lodging and dining (not ranges), plus time-saving tips and how to avoid crowds, exact admission prices to key sights, great photo stops, and special notes on “kid-friendly” attractions throughout.
Hotels
Our detailed reviews represent the best accommodations in New Zealand, in all price ranges. From five-star luxury hotels to low-budget lodges, we’ll tell you what to expect in terms of price and quality through extensive coverage of hotels and their surrounding neighborhoods, exact prices of double-occupancy rooms (including breakfast), plus pictures of hotel facilities and guestrooms.
Restaurants
If you want to experience the best that Britain has to offer, pay particular attention to our outstanding restaurant coverage that will help you choose from the thousands of local eateries that cater to every budget and dining experience. From affordable meals at local pubs to decadent, romantic, candlelit dinners—you’ll find it in see it New Zealand. Each review covers house signature dishes, ambiance, actual prices for a two-course lunch and a three-course dinner (for two people), hours of operation, and what transportation will get you there.
The Sights
Whether you want to brave the original bungee jump, cruise through a remote, mind-bendingly beautiful fjord, sip your way through the sunniest wine region, or settle down at a lodge within sight of volcanoes, see it New Zealand will take you there. Accessibly written to help you navigate throughout the country without missing a thing, each attraction includes exact admission prices, what galleries and museums not to miss, and where to stop for quick bites and refreshing drinks along the way. Sights are also rated for their “value”, “walkability”, “historic and cultural interest”, plus we suggest fantastic “photo stops” and entertaining and age-appropriate “kid-friendly” attractions throughout the book.
What to Do?
Our shopping walks will lead you to cutting-edge fashions to fit all budgets, from hip streetwear to expensive fashions for your feet. But, New Zealand has much more to offer than just sight-seeing and shopping. Fodor’s see it New Zealand provides insider information on classical, theatrical, and cinematic performances, New Zealand’s music scene, nightlife, spectator and activity sports, and festivals and events.
Atlas and Maps
Detailed neighborhood maps are incorporated throughout the book to help you navigate on historic walks, shopping tours, or to find a restaurant. Plus, a 16-page atlas details each road and path with highlights of important landmarks, parks, metro stations, and car parking areas.
Fodor’s see it™
A brand-new series that shows you before you go, guides you while you’re there, and makes the perfect keepsake on your return.

If you are visiting Austria for the Mozart festivities, this is the book for you. Calendar of events is included as well as the usual Fodor rundown on hotels, restaurants and sights along with price range. Covers both cities well plus trips on the Danube.
Only caveat: the index--could not find individual hotel names thru index, had to search through each city's listings. The recommended hotels were mostly the expensive ones.
Good background material on Mozart and his world as well as Hapsburg dynasty Vienna.
Very good for what it is--but it's not comprehensive August 10, 2007

This travel guide to New Zealand wins five stars for two reasons.
First, this book explodes with dozens and dozens of color photographs and color maps. You cannot help but be "wowed" with the beauty of the nation of New Zealand, as well as the beauty of this book.
Second, this travel guide points out--using a star system--(1.) how naturally beautiful; (2.) how kid-friendly; (3.) how historically intersting; (4.) how walkable, and (5.) how photo-friendly a whole list of cities and regions are. This information is precious because it helps you plan out your trip accordingly. (By the way, I took this book with me to New Zealand, and I found their rankings accurate and very helpful.)
But this guide alone won't be sufficient for travel in New Zealand. You'll have to add another one or two guides that are far more chock-full of details and practical information than "Fodor's See It New Zealand" is. My suggestion is "The Rough Guide to New Zealand," which served as my go-to lifesaver when I was over their on my honeymoon.

I hated this guide book. It's layout was horrendous. I had to keep flipping back and forth. It was a pain to use and I would never buy it again!
