DK Eyewitness Guides

If you're planning to reuse one of your Eyewitness Travel Guides, beware.  Beginning this spring, the guides are getting updated and a new look.

Back in 1993, DK launched the first four Eyewitness Travel Guides: London, Paris, Rome and New York. Using pioneering innovations, such as 3-D mapping, building cutaways, floor plans, guided walks, and evocative photography, each guide truly showed travelers what others only told them.

The new guides, beginning with 18 destinations, feature expanded hotel and restaurant listings, better maps, modernized typography, and enhanced itineraries. A new “Four Great Days” feature in the city guides provides travellers with a unique mix of activities to help them get the most out of their trip. The new “Discovering” feature in the country guides highlights the key attractions of each region, so travelers can decide at a glance which places are best suited to their desires.

The guides currently available in the updated version are:
New York City Washington, DC Florida California San Francisco & Northern California
Prague France Provence & the Cote d'Azur Berlin  
Italy Rome Florence & Tuscany Spain Barcelona & Catalonia
Great Britain London Scotland Ireland
