  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.

•

• 

  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.
