The Compact Guide series from Insight is an accessible and handy reference guide, describing main sites and cultural highlights. Each illustrated guide includes an introductory chapter with a selection of the top ten things to do and gives visitors an insight into history, culture and geography. An extensive ‘places to visit’ section details the main attractions, with individual sites grouped by local region and accompanied by detailed commentary. Star attractions and fact profiles are also given on each page. A cultural chapter provides information on holidays, festivals, architecture and local customs. Further practical guidance on getting around, food and drink, nightlife and accommodation is also prominent. Each guide has a large selection of colour photographs and a number of overview maps showing the local area.
