Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This new title continues Bradt's coverage of lesser-known but increasingly popular Italian regions and is the only guide available to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region which forms the major part of the hinterland of Venice (but does not - despite the name - include Venice itself), and which is a convenient and fascinating place to spend time on the beach, in the Alps or relaxing In the country. It is notable also for its wines and distinctive cuisine which, with touches of neighbouring Austria and Slovenia stirred in, are starting to attract attention around the world. Written by long-time travel authors and Italy specialists Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, background and practical information are complemented by six easy-to-follow chapters, from Trieste to the coast, Gorizia and the Borderlands, Udine, Pordenone and Western Friuli, and The Mountains: Carnia and the Julian Alps. Set in Italy's northeastern corner, Friuli Venezia Giulia is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse parts of the country - and also one of the least known. With Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia, explore this small but varied region in detail, from the Alps of the north to the coastal resorts, unspoiled wetlands and lagoons, and from medieval towns like Cividale to the strange desert steppe called the Magredi and the lovely wine region of Il Collio. Discover the regional capital, caffeine-mad Trieste, where there are 67 different ways of ordering a cup of coffee, and Gorizia, one of the biggest battle fronts of World War I, which survives almost intact, with miles of trenches and fortifications open for exploration. Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia offers everything you need for a successful trip.

Gascony & the Pyrenees

with Toulouse

By: Dana Facaros & Michael Pauls with James Taylor

Written by expert travel-writers with more than 40 titles to their name, Bradt’s Gascony & the Pyrenees is the only current English-language guide to the entirety of this fascinating, relatively under-visited and consequently affordable region of southwest France. Offering advice on where to stay and eat with what to do and see, this new guide provides everything you need for an enjoyable, fulfilling visit. In Gascony, everyone can find their own adventure. Surfers can ride Atlantic waves at Hossegor and Mimizan. Sun-seekers can loll on the Landes’ beaches, then stretch their legs by climbing Europe’s tallest sand dune, the Dune du Pilat. Hikers can trek high into the Pyrenees to gawp at majestic cirques, while those less energetic can go on a donkey-backl. Families can bike along numerous backways, while cycling buffs cheer on the professionals during the Pyrenees stage of the Tour de France. Activity enthusiasts aside, the region will delight anyone who craves a slower-paced holiday in beautiful natural landscapes. Culture buffs can linger in the coastal art havens of Collioure, Port- Vendres and Céret, or discover Palaeolithic cave art at Niaux and Le Mas-d’Azil. Pilgrims can follow the path to Lourdes. Fans of the bizarre can visit Salvador Dali’s ‘centre of the universe’ (Perpignan train station) or La Pourcailhade, the pig festival of Tri-sur-Baïse. Urbanites can enjoy the splendours of Perpignan, Bayonne, Biarritz and Auch, or take it down a notch at medieval Catalan villages. For quirky retail therapy, shopaholics can browse the espadrilles for which Mauléon is famed or the berets synonymous with Oloron-Sainte-Marie. Gourmets will delight in the quality of local cuisine, from cèpe mushrooms and poulet au pot to a flock of duck-based dishes. Cocooned within quiet, natural settings, yoga practitioners can calm mind and body with various wellness therapies. And whatever floats your boat, everyone can relax in some of the hundreds of personally recommended places to stay – from charming inns and spas to restored medieval stables, and even the astronomers’ dormitories at the Pic du Midi. All conveyed through the intimate expert insights that characterise Bradt’s Gascony & the Pyrenees.

Milan also finds time for art--with four world-renowned galleries and Leonardo's 'Last Supper'; and for music--La Scala is the centre of Italian opera. After covering the highlights in depth, the guide includes extensive listings of the hidden gems, the little galleries, theatres, and concert venues that make the city tick. Detailed reviews of the best places to stay and eat out, along with full-color photographs, plenty of maps, and valuable practical information make this an essential companion for a business trip, shopping expedition, or art-lover's pilgrimage.

Northern Spain

By: Dana Facaros,Michael Pauls

Cadogan explores "Green Spain"--the country's rich, lush alternative to the dusty and dry south, from La Rioja, famed for its wine, to the serene beaches of Galicia. Spain experts Facaros and Pauls reveal the best of Cantabria, with its international arts festival; the lively summer resort of Santander; and the prehistoric art of the Puento Viesgo Caves and nose out Spain's finest Visigothic architecture in Castile and León. The guide takes visitors to the sights of this increasingly popular region, beginning with the haunted pass at Roncesvalles, and continuing through boisterous Pamplona and glamorous San Sebastián.

Cadogan provides expert guidance on canoeing, fishing, and diving in the rapids of the Asturias and around the Bay of Biscay, as well as golfing in Gijón. Bursting with travel and practical information, rich history and culture chapters, and a detailed food section, Cadogan provides all the necessities to make the most of this beautiful region.

By: Dana Facaros

This new guide to Northern Greece, written by Greece expert and long-time travel writer Dana Facaros, is the only guide available to the region and includes the areas of Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace, complete with their five dramatically beautiful national parks, the country’s highest peaks and mountain lakes, rushing rivers and the world’s deepest gorge, and (this is Greece, after all) long sandy beaches. Sections on background and practical information are followed by an easy-to-follow breakdown of the area offering detailed coverage in 12 chapters, from Greece’s second city, Thessaloníki, to Chalkidikí, Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia, Thrace, Western Macedonia, Epirus (including Ioánnina), Thessaly and Magnesía, the Pelion Peninsula and the Islands, plus a short chapter on Athens, the gateway for many visitors to Greece. Greece is becoming more popular by the year and this area in particular offers the more natural, authentic experience that many travellers seek. Bradt’s Northern Greece focuses on just this relatively unknown but up-and-coming region and is an ideal companion for travellers of all ages, budgets and interests, from culture lovers to wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs to archaeologists, foodies to wine connoisseurs. Holidays in the great outdoors are covered, too, including mountain climbing, skiing, white water rafting, rock climbing, sailing, canyoning and sea kayaking, not to mention those who just want to sit on a sandy beach and dance the night away.

London Paris

By: Andrew Gumbel,Dana Facaros,Michael Pauls

Most U.S. visitors to Europe make a beeline for one or both of the continent's most celebrated cities and, as connections through the Channel Tunnel or by air become more frequent and cheaper, short breaks and even day trips have never been easier. Cadogan's original two-center guide still has no competition, and this updated version includes recent big-budget attractions created in both cities to mark the Millennium, such as the London Eye and the revamped Pompidou Center. The guide focuses on what short-stay visitors need to know, providing expert advice on major events, crucial sights, the best places to shop, drink, eat, and stay, and insider tips on the havens behind the bustling streets, all in an accessible, condensed format.

Italy¿s most desirable vacation destination is the subject of one of Cadogan¿s bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. Along with color photographs and maps, find the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings. Cadogan explores chic Positano and the Amalfi Coast, where Mount Vesuvius towers over the fantasy garden frescoes of Pompeii; the ravishing landscape of Capri; and vibrant Naples, with its world-famous restaurants and nightlife. As well as the bright lights of the islands and the coast, the guide covers the inland regions of Southern Italy the casual tourist rarely sees: the mountain plateaux of rugged Calabria, Puglia, with its flavors of Greece and Africa, and remote Basilicata, the province of Matera--made a World Heritage Site for its astonishing neighborhoods of cave homes.
