InsideOut Travel Guides

Guides that Let You Travel Right – and Light

By Noa Glouberman

Say "bon voyage" to bulky travel guidebooks. A U.K.-based company – MapGroup International – has created the sleek InsideOut Guides series for those who like to travel light-yet-well-informed.

Designed to fit pockets, packs and purses, each guide contains a handy PopOut Map, which literally opens and closes in a single motion. Trust me; this is a godsend for anyone who has ever been perplexed by the puzzling folding patterns of traditional maps in the past.

With a sturdy vinyl cover to stand up to all those bumps and bruises that happen on the road, each guide is bursting with all the insider info you'll need to make your way around many of the world's top travel destinations – all in just 64 pages!

Travel info, which is broken down into six straightforward categories (See it, Watch it, Taste it, Buy it, Know it and Speak it), includes a quick-reference guide to local lingo and an essential directory of sights, dining, shopping and entertainment, as well as helpful tips on everything from cab fare to recommended lodging to the hottest local night spots.

InsideOut Guides are currently available for 35 cities worldwide, including London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Florence, Venice, Madrid, Barcelona, Prague, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Berlin, Las Vegas, Orlando, Dublin and Majorca.
