The City Pack series from AA Publishing covers an extensive selection of world-wide cities in a handy, pocket-sized laminated format. The guides provide a detailed overview of each destination, with each city organised by district to allow for efficient & practical exploration of the city. Each guide is presented in a similar format; an initial section introduces readers to the city, with individual features on a short stay in the city, the Top 25 attractions, shopping by theme, the city by night, eating out & restaurants by cuisine. This part is followed by chapters exploring the city by geographical area & district. A basic overview map is provided at the start of each section & there is detailed listings information on the principal sights, walks, shops, entertainment & nightlife & restaurants for each area of the city. A Further Afield section explores the area outside the city limits, with suggestions for possible excursions & day trips. A dedicated accommodation chapter provides information about a range of budget, mid-range & luxury hotels to suit for individual tastes. There is also a Need to Know chapter with practical information on getting there & around, essential facts, language & a timeline of the history of the city. The detachable, waterproof city map is indexed & icons show the sites mentioned in the text.PLEASE NOTE: some guides feature a different layout; check individual titles for more details.
