DK EYEWITNESS GUIDES
EYEWITNESS GUIDES

Eyewitness Travel Guides show what other guides tell. Thbe guides are filled with color photographs, cutaway images and detailed three-dimensional maps that show significant buildings, museums and galleries and briefly discuss major shops, hotels and restaurants. In addition, the guides contain visual guides to currency, tickets and communication systems. Organized by area, the guides have great diagrams of major museums and galleries. These guides are particularly appropriate for upper middle class travellers interested in good hotels, restaurants and shopping, but who also value culture -- particularly art and architecture. Because the guides are heavy on photos, art and design at the expense of providing comprehensive general coverage, those who are seeking depth of coverage are best served by using this guide in conjunction with a text-based guide.
