Guidebooks for India

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.

Want to get the feel of a region and the areas it spans? Regional guides will get you there, with detailed maps, lush full-colour images, plenty of pre-planning info, itineraries to match your timeframe and recommendations to get you straight to the best.

Encounter guides help you discover twice the city (or region) in half the time. With a full-colour pull-out map and unique itineraries, these guides are less about accommodation and more about neighbourhoods; less about advance planning and more about diving in - past the tourist bureaus and straight to the locals' latest favourites.

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.

The compactness of Insight Compact Guides makes them ideal for on-the-spot use. The Top 10 sights and star attractions in each destination are clearly highlighted, fact panels provide extra information, photographs are generously used, and locations are related precisely to maps. Listings of hotels and places to eat are provided, plus a practical tips section, covering everything from customs and visas, to internet services and security.
