but I always start planning a trip to a new place by reading the Insight Guide about it.

The Insight Guides have background essays on history and culture followed by narratives of the major sites accompanied by gorgeous photographs.

That's how I decide WHERE to go within the country--or whether I want to go at all.

To decide HOW I want to go there, I get the Rough Guide, which concentrates on lower- to mid-budget travel.
