Lonely Planet Encounters: San Francisco

Description

In creating this brand new series, we have listened to travellers' needs and created a series that enables travellers to travel the way they want to. This title offers a City Diary that takes readers to the best events and festivals around. It includes an Itineraries chapter that allows travellers to plan their time effectively. New Neighbourhood structure better reflects how visitors see the city - holistically rather than isolated 'points of interest'. There is new directory of practical information. New Themes section gives eat, sleep and shop information - and allows the reader to access the city by subculture (eating out, gay culture, art and more). It comes with a detachable pull-out map. It highlights San Fransisco's quirky side as well as the must-sees like Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Reviews

Sherman's Travel, April 2007
'...Encounter guides...discreet in size, but generous enough on page count to provide a fuller city experience minus the hefty guidebook load.'
