The Countries, Regions & Cities guide series from Frommer’s, one of America’s leading travel publishers, explore a comprehensive range of international destinations and are particularly strong on American cities and regions, offering coverage that is often otherwise unavailable from other publishers. Stylistically, Frommer’s editorial style is strongly American in tone and focus, often offering insights and observations with an American audience in mind. However, each of the guides in the series is comprehensive in the information and coverage that is covered and Frommer’s increasingly cover destinations further afield internationally, in addition to their expertise in the American market and comprehensive set of US guides.

Each guide in the Countries, Regions & Cities series is structured in a similar format, depending on the destination, allowing readers to locate the information they need efficiently while travelling on the road. An introductory chapter helps readers plan their trip, including information on when to go, money and costs, travel insurance, health and safety, sustainable tourism, staying connected, getting around, a special-interest holiday-planner and tips on finding accommodation. Individual sections are arranged geographically by city, region, or area and are subsequently divided into the principal neighbourhoods or regions of the city or country. There is extensive information on getting there and around, special events and festivals, what to see and do, shopping opportunities, accommodation (arranged by price), basic street overviews, where to eat, entertainment and nightlife.

Extensive appendices include the ‘best of the rest’, (featuring destinations not included in the main part of the guide), local tourism offices and useful telephone numbers and websites. There is also a dedicated section for international visitors (reflecting the American editorial style) with information on passports, visas, customs, insurance, money, safety, getting there and around, business hours, drinking laws, electricity, embassies and consulates, emergencies, holidays, legal aid, mail, taxes, telephones, time. tipping and toilets.
