Three summary maps showing the principal sights, recommended touring programmes and places to stay. Informative essays in the introduction presenting background material on the country, its history, art and architecture and traditions. Practical information packed with useful addresses and travel tips, information on leisure activities and sports, a calendar of events and admission times and charges.
