Excellent In-Depth Background for Serious Travellers
The great asset of the Cadogan series is the in-depth historical and cultural context that the authors set their desciptions in.

Excellent In-Depth Background for Serious Travellers,
By Scott Richardson (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Italy, 4th (Cadogan Guide Italy) (Paperback)
The great asset of the Cadogan series is the in-depth historical and cultural context that the authors set their desciptions in. While all of the usual nuts-and-bolts information on hotels, restaurants, nighlife, etc. is there, the emphasis is on really getting to know and appreciate the cultures you are travelling through, rather than just being able to name the Top 5 sights in each city and take home postcard shots of each. If you read this book, you'll come away with a whole new appreciation for the country and its people, and you'll understand why you've decided to travel there in the first place.
