An orientation or overview chapter opens each guide with reviews on history, customs & culture, food & drink, shopping & entertainment. Then, the selected itineraries for walks and/or tours are explained with a good amount of accompanying information & a simple route plan. A user friendly alphabetical directory lists practical information to do day-by-day & listings of h&-picked hotels & restaurants are provided to suit different budgets & tastes. The publisher’s own Step by Step pull out map is provided &, where applicable, metro plans are shown.
