  A pleasing companion for a pre-planned trip, this lightweight volume covers the top 10 sights and activities before moving into colour-coded sections on local history, eating, drinking and so on. Some practical listings also included.

• 

  New Zealand Step by Step Guide by Insight Guides

  Price: £7.99    Add to Basket

• 

  Bermuda by Insight Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  A colourful and well-written introduction to the island, its history, customs and sights. Excellent photography throughout, with pages at the back dedictated to listings and other practical information.

• 

  Singapore Smart Guide by Insight Guides

  Price: £6.99    Add to Basket

  A photographic guide to the city including a street atlas and good historical and cultural information.

• 

  Belgium by Insight Guides

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  A bulky book full of sumptuous if somewhat dated photography. Introductory chapters make for interesting reading and the sightseeing suggestions are good, though practical information is scarce.

• 

  Iceland by Insight Guides

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  A bulky volume full of excellent reading material and inspirational photography - perhaps not the best guide to carry but certainly one to consult pre-trip.

• 

  Southwest France by Insight Guides

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  A glossy, bulky volume that covers a good deal of ground, from the Gironde to Arles and from Biarritz to the Cevennes and beyond. With abundant colour photographs and well-composed chapters on local life, it will give a strong flavour of the region, although it is perhaps lacking somewhat in practical terms.

• 

  St Lucia by Insight Compact Guides

  Price: £5.99    Add to Basket

  A colourful, slender guide that gives good detail on St Lucia's best sights and attractions, with an introductory chapter on local history and culture and pages at the back dedicated to listings.

• 

  Sydney Insight Smart Guide by Insight Guides

  Price: £6.99    Add to Basket

  A useful, up-to-date guide to Sydney, condensing all the best sights and places to eat into a handy pocket-sized tool. Perfect for shorter stays.

• 

  Switzerland by Insight Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Crammed with enough great photographs and interesting introductory reading to inspire any Swiss traveller, though perhaps lacking slightly when it comes to hard facts.

• 

  Bulgaria by Insight Guides

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  A well-written and colourful guide best for an introduction to Bulgarian history and culture, though less interested in thorough listings.

• 

  The French Riviera by Insight Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Certain to fill one with pre-trip inspiration, this weighty volume offers plenty to read on local culture and history and is crammed with colour photographs. Once there the sightseeing guidelines are useful enough, but in other practical areas it is perhaps lacking.

• 

  Provence by Insight Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Colourful, packed with photographs and good sightseeing information, with the basics just about covered. The Riviera section here is rather limited as Insight devote a whole volume to it elsewhere.

• 

  Costa del Sol Pocket Guide by Insight Guides

  Price: £7.99    Add to Basket

  A handy, informative guide for this popular holiday destination, focussing on sights and going out. Although accommodation listings are very limited, this is, in general, a very useful guide.

• 

  Iceland Compact by Insight Guides

  Price: £5.99    Add to Basket

  The more practical elements of the full Insight condensed into a handy slender volume.

• 

  Tasmania by Insight Regional Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Although not as comprehensive as either the Lonely Planet or the Rough Guide, the Insight is perfect for fully displaying the beauty of Tasmania through its numerous colour photographs. Also has a very good section on the history of the island.

• 

  Vienna Compact Guide by Insight Guides

• 

  Finland by Insight Guides

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  Never intended as a practical companion, the slightly aged nature of this guide does not detract from its lush and inspiring charm, filled as it is with colour photographs and readable introductions to the country.

  Decent indexed road map with distance indicators and city plans of Geneva, Zurich, Bern and Basel.

  Price: £17.99    Add to Basket

  A lovely introduction to the region, this guide offers interesting essays, splendid photographs and an array of suggested sights and tours. Less practically-minded, however, than the Rough or LP.
