Rough Guides began when founder Mark Ellingham saw a gap in the market for travel books that offered practical information and advice for low-budget travel. Since then, the brand has sold more than 100 million Rough Guides books worldwide.
Today, there are more than 200 guidebooks offering insights into destinations all over the planet, each with detailed information about the historical and cultural aspects of each place. This series has been so popular that they even launched a television series of the same name, which ran for more than 10 years.
Now, you can pick up Rough travel guides easily and quickly online with Booktopia.
Popular Rough Guides
One of the best-selling Rough Guides is Croatia. This beautiful travel guide includes honest, independent reviews of top attractions, as well as advice for where to go to get off the beaten track. With a touch of humour and fun, this guide includes all the practical advice you need when touring Croatia, from accommodation and getting around, to festivals and etiquette.
Another popular favourite is The Rough Guide to Tokyo. It covers all the main areas, from Harajuku to Asakusa, with what to do in each place and how to get around. There’s colour photography to inspire you to add more areas to your to-do list, itineraries to help you make the most of your time, and a free ebook included so you don’t have to take the book itself everywhere you go.
Pocket Rough Guides Books
Most travellers are in a constant battle with their suitcases. The less you carry means the less you have to cart around, or at the very least, the less you carry, the more space you’ll have for souvenirs. The selection of Rough Guides pocket books helps to free up some space with compact, concise travel guides.
The Lisbon: Pocket Rough Guide is just 160 pages, and weighs less than 200 grams. It retains all the key information you’ll need to successfully navigate Portugal’s largest city, and includes a pull-out map as well as day trip ideas to get out of the city.
Or, head to France’s capital with the Paris: Pocket Rough Guide on hand and you’ll need little else to show you around. This compact, 200-page book introduces you to all the main attractions, and goes into detail about the best spots to shop, eat, and drink. You’ll have overviews of the main areas, a pull-out map for when your phone runs out of battery from taking so many photos, and a handy language section for basic words and phrases.
