Time Out Countries Guides

From £12.99

Publisher: Time Out Group

The Countries series from Time Out are comprehensive guides to a range of destinations, exploring the best places to stay, eat and explore. Based on their successful ‘City Guides’ series, Time Out country guides have a similar format and cover an extensive range of activities, entertainment and sightseeing opportunities. Each guide is written by a team of experts who specialize in their locality, giving readers a detailed and thorough understanding of each region. An ‘Editor’s Pick’ opening chapter summarizes some of the country’s ‘star destinations’ in categories including art and architecture, eating and drinking, historic sites, hotels, nightlife, outdoor activities, scenery, shopping, art and famous buildings.
Each guide has a similar layout, allowing readers to plan their trip accordingly. Sections are thematically grouped and include categories such as rural idylls, cities, coast, small gems, mountains, rivers and wetlands and dramatic landscapes. Using Time Out’s extensive knowledge and experience of cities, this section is usually the most in-depth, including comprehensive listings for the best places to eat and drink, accommodation and local entertainment and nightlife. Individual features exploring specific facets of a local region or city are interlaced with the text and are compiled by knowledgeable local experts.
A ‘Need to Know’ chapter gives useful practical guidance on a range of matters including accommodation, age restrictions, airlines, customs, disabled travelers, driving, drugs, electricity, embassies and consulates, emergencies, health, language, money, opening hours, smoking, tax, telephones, time and seasons, tipping, trains, visas and weights and measures. There is also a calendar of local and national festivals and events that are held throughout the year, with website details where relevant.
