  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.

• 

  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.
