About city Guidebooks.
To help readers to satisfy their curiosity and not to miss anything of real interest has been the aim of guidebooks since the time the genre was pioneered by Karl Baedeker (1801-1859).
Traditionally the first sections of the book give a general picture of the city on the basis of geographical and historical information. The largest section is devoted to the sights of the city. It covers, one after another, all the historic areas of the place, with particular attention being devoted to the most famous objects. Detailed descriptions of the largest museums are accompanied by plans showing the layout of the displays. Separate coverage is given to the famous suburbs. The material on each of these is richly illustrated and accompanied by detailed plans. The Guide ends with an information section giving practical recommendations (where to eat, where to spend the evening, how to get to places, and so on) and an atlas of detailed maps of the city.
