If you really want to spend a bit of time in one city and get the most out of your stay, a city guide's your best bet - part history, part planning and filled with expert recommendations. Book some accommodation, plan a day trip, get the lowdown on public transport - all the stuff you need to really get to grips with the city.

As well as providing a wealth of travel tips for visitors, Insight City Guides also offer real insight into the destinations' history, culture, politics, arts and, above all, the people.
