On the road, nothing beats a handy travel guide and in my opinion there's only one worth picking up. DK Eyewitness Travel.If a picture is worth 1000 words, this $25 paperback is worth millions.
Their slogan is "guides that show you what others only tell you". The rich illustrations and numerous photos easily make them the standout.
Features include clear, easy to use maps, colored city sections, must-see museum art work (paintings you may know by sight, but maybe not name) all compressed in a handy size which can easily be stashed in your day pack. The guides also cater to a lot of different needs with a good mix of historical background, country/city overview, and detailed checklist of what to see.
For shorter stays, try Eyewitness "Top 10" which consolidates the "must dos" in cities as large as London or Paris.
Also, this spring Eyewitness is launching a new series inspiring day-trip travel in Europe. The "Back Roads" books will focus on long drives in France, Italy, Great Britain, Ireland and Spain.
