  Costa Rica by Insight

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

• 

  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.

• 

  Switzerland Map by Insight Guides

  Price: £5.99    Add to Basket

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

  Map scale: 1:300000

• 

  Scandinavia by Insight Guides

  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.

• 

  Mauritius, Reunion & Seychelles by Insight

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  One of the more bulky guides, but does include more information and plenty of photographs as a result. Better for those who have already planned where to stay, rather than the traveller, because hotel listings are indexed all together at the back.

• 

  Salzburg Fleximap by Insight Guides

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  A decent laminated and therefore weatherproof map of Salzburg.

  Map scale: 1:17000

• 

  Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao by Insight

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  A basic, laminated road map of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao but the lack of detail makes it best for getting your bearings rather than on the ground navigation.

  Map scale: 1: 80 000

• 

  Canary Islands Map by Insight Maps

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  A clear and detailed map to all of the islands. Indicates all the major routes and also includes a comprehensive index.

• 

  Turkey by Insight Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Essays on history and culture are followed by a thorough regional survey, all supported by a wealth of photographs. As such, this makes an excellent introduction to the country and aid to planning. We would rather carry around, however, a Rough Guide.

• 

  Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania by Insight Guides

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  Best for lavish photography and well-written introductions, Insight Guides tell you more about what to find than how to find it.

• 

  Oman & the UAE Insight Guide by Insight

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  Highly recommended as an introduction and for initial planning. It comprises sections on the history and culture followed by a regional descriptive survey and finally practical information. The whole is copiously illustrated with good photos.

• 

  Moscow Map by Insight

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  Laminated. Includes a map of the metro, an index and some recommended sights.

  Map scale: 1:12500

  Map scale: 1:15000

• 

  New Zealand by Insight Guides

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  Lacking the depth of practical detail prioritised by other guides, this colourful volume instead gives a strong flavour of the country with extended introductory chapters and a multitude of photographs guaranteed to inspire one's trip.

• 

  Romania by Insight Guides

  £16.99 Price: £15.29    Add to Basket

  A colourful and inspiring guide filled with photographs and offering good introductory chapters. Less handy for practical details than its rivals, however.
