Frommer's Day By Day Guides are comprehensive, concise city/region guides in a compact format, ideal for short trips, and suit all tastes & budgets. The best sights of each destination are listed in convenient full-day tours for one, two or three days. Thematic tours for interests including art, architecture & history are described, allowing you to get the most out of your time. Walking tours take you around each destination’s principal neighbourhoods, detailing selected parks, activities, notable sights, shops & eateries. Categorized listings are given for the best of the area’s hotels & accommodation, shopping, food & drink, nightlife, music, outdoor activities, day-trips and arts & entertainment. Each guide includes a “Savvy Traveler” section of practical travel information, as well as a brief background & history of each destination.

The guides are well illustrated with plenty of evocative color photography throughout, and lots of clear, easy-to-use bulleted maps with locations cross-referenced to the text. Each guide also has a foldout central area map inside the front cover, and a larger removable tearproof folded map in a pouch inside the back cover.
