- Price: £6.99 Add to Basket
- A pocket-sized guide to the city with highlights, information about the neighbourhoods and snapshots on food, culture and religion. Handy and reliable, but it is light on detail and the pull out map leaves a lot to be desired.

Brittany and Normandy by Lonely Planet

- A good comprehensive guide to the Caribbean Islands, including itineraries for each island and plenty of transportation information but not very many maps.
-
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.
-
Eastern Europe by Lonely Planet
- Price: £19.99 Add to Basket
- Lonely Planet's compilation guides are best suited to backpackers with a limited time frame and a full itinerary. It is also worth noting that this one has some cross-over with the Central Europe guide. Ideal for a whistle-stop tour of the cities, with an eye for budget travel and good mapping.
-

- Aimed at island-hoppers this guide has a decent amount of information on all the islands (with 120 pages on the Big Island) with a particular focus on outdoors activities and adventure sports.
-

- A good practical guide for backpackers covering the essentials of the Masai Mara, Central Highlands, Mt Kenya and safari suggestions, this edition includes 85 maps and a fairly strong section on cultural context.
-
Morocco by Lonely Planet
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- With the usual Lonely Planet orientation towards low-budget travel this guide has a good section on trekking in the Atlas Mountains but has a fairly limited amount of information on history and culture.
-
New Zealand's South Island by Lonely Planet
- Price: £13.99 Add to Basket
- If you are only going to the South Island then this is a cheaper alternative to the Lonely Planet New Zealand guide, however the information and advice is more up to date in this newer edition. Plenty of maps and plenty of information about outdoor activities.
