Berlitz Handbook Great Britain is the ultimate practical,
inspirational guide to this fascinating destination, with 304 pages
combining authoritative narrative detail and stunning color
photography. What sets the guide apart is the illuminating Unique
Experiences section, packed full of practical advice on how to make
the most of all the opportunities unique to Britain – from visiting
royal residences to watching a soccer match, or exploring Bront?
country in Yorkshire. The guide starts with a rundown of Great
Britain’s Top 25 Attractions, ranging from the Edinburgh’s handsome
Royal Mile to stunning stately home Chatsworth House. In the Trip
Planner you’ll find itineraries outlining how best to maximise your
time in Britain. The Places Section tackles each of Britain’s
regions in turn – starting with the iconic capital, London, and
taking in the rest of England as well as the natural wonders of
Wales and Scotland. Each chapter is color-coded for easy reference,
and features everything you’ll need to know about the sights and
attractions in the area as well as maps to help you get around and
carefully chosen listings of the best places to sleep, eat, drink,
and get active. The Places section is interspersed with fully
mapped tours, suggesting routes including a walk through the leafy
London borough of Hampstead and a drive around Snowdonia’s Bala
Lake, and Cultural Spreads that give a striking insight into an
element of Britain’s culture, from whiskey in Scotland to the 2012
Olympic and Paralympic Games in London. Further practical advice is
provided in a chapter dedicated to accommodations, transportation,
health and safety, money and budgeting, responsible travel, and
family holidays. The Setting the Scene chapter is devoted to
Britain’s historical and cultural background, plus information on
the country’s cuisine.
