Publisher: AA Publishing

The AA Spiral Guides series comprises a selection of titles exploring a wide range of cities, regions and countries in a handy, spiral loose-leaf format. Fold-out flaps at the front and back of each title give an overview of the main regions covered, with page numbers so visitors can locate their destination easily. Each guide explores the destination geographically by region or area and provides the essential information for the main sites and attractions in addition to a recommended tour of each area by car.

An introductory section - ‘The Magazine’ - profiles the destination with information on highlights, culture, sport, land and people, wildlife, food and drink and history. There is also a dedicated chapter helping visitors find their feet, offering practical guidance on the first two hours at the destination, getting around, accommodation, food and drink, shopping and entertainment. Individual descriptions are accompanied by colour photos illustrating the sites and information boxes provide the ‘inside info’ on recommended sights or attractions, including top tips for making the most of your visit and suggestions for more in-depth experiences and hidden gems. Contact details, covering opening times, addresses, telephone numbers, local transport and websites are also included.

A practicalities section provides in-depth practical guidance on what to take, when to go, getting there, time, currency and foreign exchange, opening hours, personal safety, telephones, post, tips, health, concessions, travelling with a disability and children.
