Author Description

The AAA Europe TravelBook gives you a sweeping overview of this richly varied continent: from the fairy-tale castles of Germany to the dazzlingly whitewashed houses of Greece; from sun-baked Gibraltar, a stone's throw from Africa, to Rovaniemi, capital of Finnish Lappland; and from metropolitan Madrid to miniscule San Marino. Features include: Coverage of more than 40 countries and principalities, arranged alphabetically and also by geographic region (i.e., Scandinavia). Eye-catching photographs. Detailed four-color maps of countries and major cities. "Things to Know" sidebars that provide specifics about duty-free items, currency, bank and store opening hours, national holidays and other practicalities. A "Principal Touring Areas" section that surveys each country's major geographic regions. Expanded write-ups for such major destinations as London, Paris and Rome. Whether you're embarking on a first-time vacation or a return trip to a cherished spot, the AAA Europe TravelBook supplies the background you need to help plan your trip.
