Poland's vast, tranquil countryside and historical cities are increasingly accessible for both short-break visitors and walkers looking to explore off-the-beaten-track Poland. Gordon McLachlan guides travelers through the whole range of Poland's attractions in this new Bradt guide, helping visitors make sense of the country's complex history and providing all the relevant town and city plans and an extended introduction to the centers of Krakow and Warsaw. Thorough coverage of the fast growing accommodation and tour options and essential Polish words and phrases are provided. There is a special emphasis on national parks and walking in some of eastern Europe's most unspoiled mountains.

The Rough Guide to Germany is the ultimate travel guide to this dynamic country - simultaneously one of the most rewarding and most overlooked travel destinations in Europe.

Detailed accounts of every attraction provide all the information you need to explore the country's exceptional museums, iconic architecture, stylish cities and picture-perfect castles, as well as its many rural escapes, from the soaring Bavarian Alps and dense woodlands of the Black Forest to the beautiful beaches and islands of the North Sea or the idyllic Rhineland vineyards where you can sample some of the country's many world-class wines. All the best festivals are covered too, from Cologne's riotous Carnival to the legendary Oktoberfest. The guide's bevy of practical advice ensures that, no matter what your budget, you'll find the perfect boutique hotel, quirky hostel, authentic cellar restaurant, Michelin-starred gourmet haunt, cutting-edge arts venue or hip bar and club, all marked on the book's many colour maps. The Rough Guide to Germany includes well-researched historical and cultural background to help you understand and appreciate this complex country and, above all, make the most of your holiday.
