Travel Guides - 1Don’t assume that Thomas Cook, the Michelin Guide or Lonely Planet are the best travel guides

According to independent research, DK Eyewitness is better for cities like London and Bradt publish the best country guides

No matter where you want to go, there is almost certainly a guidebook available that will enhance your visit.  They provide helpful advice on where to go and stay, help with forward planning and suggest things to see and do.

However, you may be surprised to learn that some of the big names are not the best.  Independent research clearly shows that it is some of the smaller independent brands that are providing the quality info.

The following recommendations are grouped under three broad headings: City Guidebooks, Country Guidebooks and Regional Guidebooks.
