Guidebooks for Barbados

Our new-style Berlitz Pocket Guides are packed with all the information you need to get the most from your visit. Small in size, but big on content, they cover all the sights and attractions, as well as giving helpful tips on hotels, eating out, shopping, outdoor activities, nightlife and much more. They also feature a wealth of beautiful photographs that capture the essence of the destination. Berlitz Pocket Guides are available for well over 150 destinations worldwide.

Footprint Focus guides are smaller, soft cover guidebooks which focus on specific destinations such as São Paulo in Brazil, or classic itineraries such as Zanzibar & Pemba in Tanzania. Rather than cover an entire country, Focus guides are tightly defined by destination, providing all the info you need and none of the stuff you don't! Like our Handbooks, these guides are reliable, up-to-date, and provide many opportunities to get off the beaten track. Unlike most guidebooks however these lightweight guides are slim enough to fit in your pocket - so they will help you get the most out of your destination without weighing you down.

Our classic series, for more than 35 years, Insight Guides have provided a full account of the world's leading travel destinations through expert and informative text and stunning photography. With a rich mix of features on history and culture, detailed area-by-area chapters and a comprehensive listings section, each title combines three books in one: an ideal travel planner, a practical on-the-spot companion, and a a superb visual souvenir of a visit.

Insight Pocket Guides pioneered a new approach to guidebooks, introducing the concept of authors as "local hosts" who provide readers with personal recommendations for places to see and things to do, just as they would give honest advice to a friend who came to stay. Itineraries are carefully chosen and timed, including full- and half-day options and excursions to cater for all tastes. And to make things really easy, itineraries are cross-referenced to a large fold-out map that folds neatly into the book. The graphic photography brings the destination to life.
