Summary:

Landmark Visitors Guides are acknowledged as among the most reliable travel books for sightseers. Information is detailed, concise and current -- just what you need as you travel around an unfamiliar destination. The informative text is peppered with colorful callouts that highlight places of particular interest -- perhaps a well-known birding spot or a delightful pub down a side road. Liberal use of excellent, full-color maps makes navigation easy, and colorful photos grace almost every page. Landmark Visitors Guides are great reference tools as you plan your trip, and a favorite travel companion while on the road. Area tours highlight in-town sights and attractions, including art galleries, museums, historic buildings and churches. They also lead you out into the countryside, with recommended stops en route. The comprehensive "Fact File" in back provides opening times, fees and contact information for all places mentioned in the text. Index.
