The Introduction section takes a glance at the city as well as suggesting possible itineraries, based on time & budget. The ‘ Best of’ section provides an overview of the destination’s main highlights, in categories including museums & galleries, viewpoints, eating out & shopping, while the Places chapter explores the city’s most famous sites & attractions. An accommodation section also lists some of the city’s main hotels, with brief descriptions of each & the relevant prices & contact details. An Essentials chapter provides useful practical guidance on arriving in the city, getting around, an A-Z directory of important information, festivals & events, chronology of the city & the local language. There is also a fold-out overview map of the city’s main local transport routes & a separate map at the back of the guide.
