"DK Eyewitness Travel Guides were once the best travel guides. With their recent redesign, they've destroyed the brand. It no longer has the premium feel that it used to. It's not just the cheaper paper, it just looks...different and not in good way.
The Portugal guide has a few issues. My family comes from Caldas da Rainha, and I know that the photos used to represent it are wrong, as is the statement that the ceramics museum is in a ceramics factory. In other sections misspellings and inaccurate information mar the reputation of the once-great DK Eyewitness Travel Guide brand."

- DK Eyewitness Travel Guides were once the best travel guides. With their recent redesign, they've destroyed the brand. It no longer has the premium feel that it used to. It's not just the cheaper paper, it just looks...different and not in good way.
The Portugal guide has a few issues. My family comes from Caldas da Rainha, and I know that the photos used to represent it are wrong, as is the statement that the ceramics museum is in a ceramics factory. In other sections misspellings and inaccurate information mar the reputation of the once-great DK Eyewitness Travel Guide brand. - The reproduction quality is not up to the standard of other DK travel guides. The paper quality is poor and the pictures are not sharp and bright. Disappointed as it affects the joy of reading and looking at the sites.
- We are going to Portugal for several weeks on our own, and this guide is a terrific source... we can use it to plan our entire trip. excellent recommendations!
- This book is very attractive, with many nice pictures,but it does not have enough critical advice. For example, if there are two palaces in a town, which one should I visit?
- It’s a newly released version with current information. I like DK Wittness travel guides and always buy them.
- This refers to the new redesigned 2019 edition.
Pros
- good use of photos, which is the point of differentiation of these guides
- good coverage of Lisbon, including a few walking tours (about 1/4 of this guide is centered on Lisbon)
Cons
- superficial, light on information (previous Eyewitness guides were crammed with details on sights. The new guide seems more spaced out)
- limited practical use for planning (e.g. some towns such as Viana do Castelo get 2 pages only - one full page devoted to a photo and the other page consists of 3 paragraphs on the destination, with 1 attraction only and no accommodation, dining or transport recommendations. Even the 2nd largest city in the country, Porto, only gets 3 hotel listings and 2 restaurant listings - previous Eyewitness guides had several pages of these)
- poorer quality feel (the high quality binding and glossy pages are gone)
- no more compact in size than any other guidebook
I've referred to several guidebooks on Portugal and this was the least comprehensive (and frankly disappointing).
