This Way Guide The folk here are more important than the folklore,
belying all the myths with their warm hearts, good humour -- and
the world's most hospitable B&Bs. Taste those single malts
along the Whisky Trail or explore the lochs and glens and lairds'
castles in Stirling, Glamis or Linlithgow. Play golf on the green,
green courses of St Andrews or Troon. Fish for salmon or trout in
the Highland streams or bag the monster in Loch Ness. In this
independent-minded country, Edinburgh is a worthy capital for its
culture and fine living, grand castle, museums and theatres.
Glasgow, proudly refurbished, makes a bold and dynamic rival with
its splendid Victorian architecture and vibrant city centre. And
the islands are a world unto themselves -- Skye, Arran and Mull to
the west, Orkney and Shetlands far to the north.

Sicily, with a sombre beauty at once stark, austere, and dazzlingly
bright, has always been an island apart. The climate is both
subtropical and Mediterranean, the landscape severe yet arid, the
people gentle and volatile, a few of them ever ready to erupt like
Etna, their great volcano. From the hectic capital Palermo to the
temples of Agrigento, from remote Trapani to genteel Taormina, The
Way Sicily explores the history, culture and natural wonders of the
island and its sister isles, Lipari, Salina and Stromboli. Also
features sections on dining, sightseeing and shopping tips -- with
fold-out maps and full-colour photographs.
Berlin is well and truly back. Unique among German cities, this
mercurial and often eccentric metropolis stands at the crossroads
between western and eastern Europe. It vibrates with life, wit,
drama and great music. Mushrooming everywhere are new cafes,
night-clubs, luxury boutiques and art galleries. From the
skyscrapers of Potsdamer Platz to the palaces of Potsdam, from
Unter den Linden to refurbished Friedrichstrasse, this guide
explores the avenues and neighbourhoods of Germany's cosmopolitan
capital.
Each guide in the This Way series offers information on the
highlights of not only the world's most popular tourist regions,
but also more unusual destinations such as Crete, Tahiti, and
Istanbul. Designed to provide the maximum of cultural, historical,
and practical information in a minimum space, each guide offers a
variety of street, subway, and regional maps. From cosmopolitan
cities and towering skyscrapers to small villages and natural
wonders, each guide is filled with valuable recommendations and
addresses for monuments, parks, markets, restaurants, and cafes,
whether for a weekend getaway or an extended adventure.

The city of Michelangelo, Giotto and Botticelli -- not to mention
Macchiavelli and the Medicis -- is one great revelation of the
Renaissance. Florence has more eternal art per square mile than
anywhere else on earth. You will want to take time out-strolling
the Boboli Gardens, shopping on the Ponte Vecchio, sipping a
cappuccino in the Piazza della Signoria, digging into a steak alla
fiorentina. Easy daytrips take you to the highlights of
Tuscany-Pisa, San Gimignano, Siena and Lucca.

Cyprus combines craggy landscapes and cliffs with more gentle
greenery. Away from sunny beach resorts, the island offers a cool
moment of contemplation with Byzantine icons in mountain
monasteries. Despite the rivalry of Greek and Turkish Cypriots in
the divided capital of Nicosia, their hospitality in the southern
ports of Limassol and Larnaca or Kyrenia in the north is equally
warm and friendly. This Way Cyprus presents in a pocketful the
island's history, culture and pleasures.
More than 400 bridges stitch together the islands that make up this
dream of a city. The sublime setting ennobles Venice's palaces,
churches and canals. For art lovers, a survey of the local talent
-- Titian, Bellini, Tintoretto, Lotto and Canaletto -- is worth the
trip. Take a cappucino break in Piazza San Marco, Europe's most
sumptuous square. This little guide is crammed with addresses --
priceless recommendations and practical hints, perfect for a
weekend break or a fortnight's adventure.

Here is everything you imagined Tuscany to be: palazzi, villas and
churches in that enchanting landscape of olive groves, vineyards
and lofty cypresses. Masterpieces of Renaissance painting and
sculpture are there, but so is a great Chianti with a plate of
steaming pasta. After the treasures of Florence, the pageant of
Siena's Palio, the magic towers of San Gimignano and the Leaning
Tower of Pisa, take it easy on a beach at Viareggio, do some
designer shopping or cycle round the vineyards. Tuscany is eternal.

Cuba rhymes with revolution, rum and havanas. Its pristine beaches
hold a magnetic appeal, but Cuba's best asset is the people,
lively, imaginative and cheerful. Music and dance are everywhere,
and visitors are soon seduced into relaxing and joining in the
party. From the faded charm of Havana to first-class resorts, from
tobacco lands to old colonial towns, This Way Cuba explores every
facet of this colourful Caribbean island.
At the centre of Israel, the golden aura of Jerusalem's ageless
mystery embraces the three great faiths of Judaism, Islam and
Christianity. Out on the coast, in stark contrast, is the cheeky
modernity of Tel Aviv, a cosmopolitan town vibrantly alive 24 hours
a day. Add to this the magic of Negev and Judean deserts in the
south, the orchards, vineyards and forests of Galilee in the north,
and the gleaming beach resorts of Eilat and Netanya. This guide
offers this potent mixture in a pocketful of vivid text and colour.
