  Berlin Art/Shop/Eat by Blue Guides

  Price: £6.99    Add to Basket

  Cultural experts Blue Guides here try their hand at a pocket companion more geared towards helping you spend your Travellers Cheques, with great success. The art element remains strongest but the shopping, eating and drinking recommendations are top notch. A couple of reasonable maps, too.

• 

  Concise Italy by Blue Guides

  Price: £14.95    Add to Basket

  A new venture for Blue in which the best of their extensive regional Italian guides is condensed into a manageable single volume, packed with highlights. We suspect the hardest part was deciding what to leave out: everything here is of the highest standard, and for a country-wide cultural tour it cannot be bettered.

• 

  Rome by Blue Guides

  Price: £16.95    Add to Basket

  Unbeatable cultural companion for visitors seeking a scholarly understanding of the city and its history. First class writing on all the major sights with intermittent photographs and maps. Practical basics are covered to a very limited extent.

• 

  The Marche & San Marino by Blue Guides

  Price: £14.95    Add to Basket

  Unbeatable for coverage of artistic and architectural highlights, this volume is devoted almost entirely to The Marche: visitors to San Marino should note that, despite the book's title, the republic is afforded only ten pages.
