The first Frommer's travel guide, Arthur Frommer's Europe on $5 a Day, published in 1957, opened Europe to legions of American travellers who once believed that European travel was only for the super rich. Frommer helped to make travel accessible for everyone. Since then, Frommer's has developed more than a dozen travel series each designed to meet a different travel need, but the series' mission remains faithful to its original mission -- to make travel a time of adventure and self-discovery.

Frommer's guides feature:

• Up-to-date information
• Lots of useful details
• Exact prices, rather than price range, for hotels and restaurants and other establishments
• Highly readable conversational reviews
• Fold-out maps, color photo inserts, and online directories in many of Frommer's Complete Guides
