About this series: Landmark Visitors Guides present the reader with a detailed, wide-ranging, & 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 & tours are included, & each section contains small area maps & plenty of photos & illustrations. Thicker on curiosities, anecdotes & 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 & 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, & for international guides it also

Includes::
climate & country facts, some phrases & overseas travel information.
