The Eyewitness Family Guide Series has been designed to help families get the most from their visit to their destination. It offers sightseeing itineraries & a balanced choice of culture & activities that are focused around major sights to keep parents & kids entertained. Practical information along with the maps ensures a fun & relaxed family holiday. Every book in this series is fully illustrated & arranged in geographical order. It first offers an overview of the city, region or country it covers, which is then organised into areas providing more specific information in the sightseeing section. Each guide opens with an introduction to the destination & presents the highlights, a yearly calendar of holidays & festivals, & a historical outline. It then provides information to help plan your family holiday, including advice on how to get there, getting around, health, money & communications, shopping, where to stay etc. The sightseeing pages offer a general context of each area showing the must-see attractions & a locator map illustrating the regions it covers. A ‘ Best of’ section advices on the best family-friendly activities, & things to see & do, ranging from short stays, cultural holidays & the outdoors. Each region is then explored in more detail in the subsequent two or three chapters, including individual regional road maps. Symbols & numbers locating major cultural & historical sights are cross-referenced with the text which offers more information such as opening hours, available facilities, how to get there, where to stay, eat, play & have fun. Sights feature special panels for kids. The ‘kid’s corner’ engages children with fun facts, quizzes, games & cartoons. Additional suggestions for things to do on a rainy day & places where the very young can run around are also included. The final part of the guide is dedicated to road maps of the country and/or detailed street plans of the capital (where applicable), plus a single page, essential words phrasebook.
