Moon Handbooks are more than just travel guides - they're reference tools designed for independent travellers. Intelligent and comprehensive, the books cover arts, history, land, people, politics and social issues. Moon Handbooks allow complete immersion in a region's culture.  The Handbooks are user-friendly and packed with detailed practical advice covering topics such as:

• language
• transportation
• accommodation
• food
• outdoor recreation
• entertainment

The books are extensively illustrated and include both photos and illustrations as well as maps. The maps cover parks and trails in addition to cities and highways.

The thoughtful and interesting narratives make them as helpful to read before a trip as they are to read on the road.
