Britain in the Key Guide series from AA Publishing; exploring a range of international destinations and recently been re-launched with full colour pages. Thorough and detailed in style, the guides are targeted at an older audience, exploring the principal sights, walks, activities, restaurants and accommodation of the destination. A detailed introductory section provides comprehensive information about the destination, including the economy, politics, heritage and language. There are also specific sections unique to each destination, covering society, the urban and rural, sports and leisure, art media and culture, history and science and technology.Each title is organised in the same way with destinations grouped by region or district and colour-coded to help readers navigate
around the guide. An On the Move section provides details on transport, with important information on arriving, getting around (including distinctive local transport features such as metro and underground networks) and for visitors with a disability. Individual regional sections cover Sights, driving and walking opportunities, what to do, eating and accommodation. Local listings are accompanied by addresses, opening times, prices, directions and local transport options, though options for younger travellers and those with children are more limited. Extensive colour photography accompanies the text, with a range of pictures illustrations the main sites of the city, region or country. An extensive Practicalities chapter at the back of each guide carries essential information on
weather, documents and customs, money, health, communication, tourist information, useful websites, finding help, opening times and entrance fees, media and books, films and maps. There is also basic information on entertainment and nightlife, sports and activities, film and music and festivals and events.
