About this series:

Landmark Visitors Guides present the reader with a detailed, wide-ranging, and easy-to-read overview of an area, making them not only useful guides while on a trip, but also an ideal way to get acquainted with an area before you go.

Each guide offers a wide array of information on history & culture, local colour & character, landscape & attractions. Walks and tours are included, and each section contains small area maps and plenty of photos & illustrations.

Thicker on curiosities, anecdotes and hidden treasures than most guides, they provide one of the fastest ways to achieve a more than superficial understanding of an area.

They are, however, correspondingly thin on travel essentials & day-to-day information, with generally only a few restaurant and accommodation listings in a compact Directory at the end of each guide. This directory also serves as a quick reference for tourist information contacts, local transport, events calendars, and for international guides it also includes climate & country facts, some phrases and overseas travel information.
