With an emphasis on cultural activities & history, each sight is graded & has extensive background information. Practical visitor information is clearly highlighted with symbols. The Green Guides also cover international destinations. An extensive introductory section on planning your trip provides information on when & where to go, useful pre-trip information, getting there, where to stay & eat & what to do & see.
