If you like Bryson, you'll like this. In middle age, he sets off alone to recreate a tour of Europe he took as a young man. Highly entertaining as his writing always is, this has the bonus of being a fairly good travel book on the cities of Europe. You'll find out which ones are still charming or beautiful, and which have been overrun with Burger King, which are costly or a bargain, which are rude or friendly, which are worth seeing and which are not. A bit outdated by now but probably still pretty accurate.
A quick, fun read overall.
