From the bustle of New York City to the splendor of Europe's majestic cities, the sun-drenched beauty of the Mediterranean, and the exotic reaches of Thailand, the Knopf Guides reflect the very reason we travel. They bring to life each destination's individual color and character, treasures and history, while providing the essential, practical information you would expect from a trusted travel guide.

Each guide features:

  • PRACTICAL GUIDANCE: Essential information on local transportation, hotels, restaurants, galleries, museums, currency, useful addresses, and more.

  • INFORMATIVE BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Chapters on History, Language, Nature, Art, Traditions, and Archtecture.

  • ENGAGING GRAPHICS: Hundreds of full-color and black and white photographs plus an assortment of illustrations and maps.

  • ADVICE ON HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TRIP: Detailed itineraries that will guide you through each destination's major sights and surprising fascinations, as well as the history and lore that surround them.
