Welcome to the home page of the Blue Guides, the best-researched, best-presented cultural guide books in the English language.
On this site you can find details of all our titles that are in print, indeed of any Blue Guide ever published. For the newer books we show the contents pages and indexes as well as example pages which we hope will give you as good an indication as possible of the quality, depth and feel of our books without actually having one in your hand. For that you need to buy one, which you can also do from this site.
In the travel advice section we offer you free access to details of all the hotels and restaurants specifically recommended in our books.
NEW: Be one of our first travel bloggers: post an online journal of your trip. What you did, what you saw, what you thought about it. We and our readers want to know. You may never have posted an online journal before or you may be a hardened blogger, our easy-to-use platform enables you to maintain an up-to-date travel log of your travels for friends, family and our Blue Guides readership to enjoy and benefit from. It's a trial version of the technology, we'd really appreciate your feedback.
