ALWAYS AT HAND
Our guide was created with travel in mind. That is why we offer it in three formats:
- PDF – perfect for use on phones and tablets
- ePub – for e-book readers (like Kindle)
- Book – classic printed version
The content in each format is the same.
We particularly recommend the PDF version, which is fully mobile, meaning:
- Less luggage – everything you need is on your phone
- Easier navigation – GPX files for navigation are included with the guide and prepared to work with mobile apps (Android and iOS) and Garmin devices.
- Faster browsing – with interactive links between routes and attractions, it’s easy to jump around
- It’s always where your phone is – no need to carry anything else
- Connected to the world – links to Google Maps allow you to open attraction locations directly from the guide
