Philippines - Insight Guides

Insight Guide Philippines is a comprehensive, full-colour travel guide
that provides an essential introduction to this little-known Asian
country. The Philippines is a destination of thousands of islands
fringed by idyllic tropical beaches, plus stunning mountain scenery,
colonial architecture and lively festivals.

The Insight Guide
will assist you in finding your ideal itinerary through what can be a
daunting list of options, with the inspirational Best Of section setting
out the principal places to visit in the Philippines. In-depth
information on the country's history and culture is provided in a series
of lively essays, while chapters on contemporary culture, food,
festivals and architecture paint a vivid portrait of life in the
Philippines today.

The Places chapters have been comprehensively
updated for this new edition, and cover all the sights worth seeing -
from the amazing landscapes of northern Luzon to the beaches of the
Visayas and the jungles of Palawan.

At the back of the book, the
Travel Tips section contains all the practical information you'll need
to make the most of your trip, including our independent reviews of
carefully selected hotels and restaurants, which will direct you to the
best and most authentic establishments.
