Western Europe
-
Paris Discover by Lonely Planet

-
Discover Germany by Andrea Schulte Peevers
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket

-
Paris Encounter by Lonely Planet
- Price: £6.99 Add to Basket
- A self-conscious pocket guide that claims to approach the city holistically rather than as a list of highlights. Certainly it unveils some interesting lesser-known spots, and the pull-out map is first-rate, but some may find the tone of the writing somewhat hard to swallow.
-
Europe by Eyewitness
- Price: £19.99 Add to Basket
- A colourful, cultural guide to Europe with plenty of photographs and bird's eye graphics. Perfect as a sightseer's companion for an organised tour of the continent, rather than a practical travelling guide. Includes a general introduction to the history, art and landscape of Europe followed by a section on each country.
-

-
Discover Europe by Lonely Planet
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket

-
Central Europe by Lonely Planet
- Price: £18.99 Add to Basket
- For a whistlestop tour of Central Europe the Lonely Planet guide covers all the basics, but skimps a bit on culture and history. Including chapters on Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Poland, not forgetting the 6 pages dedicated to Leichtenstein, it would be a good space-saving option.
