From the Publisher
For readers who are tired of the promotional fluff and brochure-speak that characterize most travel guides, heres a fresh voice. The
Irreverent Guides offer an insiders perspective on each destinations, and take a fun, honest look at everything they review. Its not every day you open a guidebook to find categories such as:
*Most overrated museums
*Weirdest bunch of public statuary
*Bars where you can hear yourself think
*Where the supermodels eat and where they dont
*Eurotrashiest hotels
*Hotels for people who hate conventioneers
*Luscious love nests and lavender lodgings
*Restaurants that dont live up to the hype
*Swingin supper clubs with attitude
The Irreverent Guides give you the lowdown, the inside story. They have nothing to sell but the truth, which includes a balance of good and bad. They praise, they trash, they weigh, and leave the final decision up to the reader. Our writers take a special pleasure in leading you where other guides fear to tread.
