Very clear mapping. Plenty of tourist information shown on the maps. None.

A really interesting read about somewhere I knew nothing about None I can think of

Fantastically detailed, updated twice a year Some urban trains only summarised, only worth lugging with you if you're going to use it a lot

Great Photos

Full of very useful information. None.

Covers the best things of the entire country. Small & easy to digest. Not good for people who prefer in depth details. Doesn't include pricing & opening hours.
