Lonely Planet Edinburgh starts with an
interesting history of the city, highlighted with colored photos. General
information on traveling in Britain follows. The “Things to do and see”
section divides Edinburgh into several areas to make it easier to find your way
around. Lots of practical information and details are included. Locations,
opening hours and phone numbers are listed along with highlights of attractions.
The “Places to Stay” section lists hostels, guesthouses and hotels with their
addresses, phone numbers and prices. “Eating”, “Shopping” and “Entertainment”
are other handy sections that will help make those decisions easier. Colored
maps at the back of the book locate the eateries, accommodations and
attractions mentioned in the guide. A great feature is the Excursions” section,
which lists attractions and information on the Scottish regions around
Edinburgh. As usual, the attention to detail found in the Lonely Planet guides
will help to smooth the way in planning your journey and enjoying it once you
arrive.
