      Průvodce seznamuje ve stručnosti s nejvýznamnějšími "nej" jedné z evropských metropolí - Paříže. Český překlad originálního vydání cestovní příručky z produkce britského nakladatelství Dorling Kindersley je levnější "miniverzí" obsáhlejšího průvodce (edice vychází i v ČR pod názvem "Společník cestovatele"), což se projevuje obdobnou grafickou úpravou, řazením kapitol a zpracováním textů. Svazky této řady postihují skutečně jen "10 NEJ" v každé z popisovaných oblastí francouzské metropole (jen těm nejvýznamnějším - jako např. Louvru, Musée de Orsay,Saint Chapelle, Notre-Dame aj. jsou věnovány alespoň dvě tiskové strany). Obdobný systém je použit i v kapitolách věnovaných možnostem ubytování, stravování, zábavy, nákupů apod. Určeno především turistům, kteří chtějí v krátké době stihnout co nejvíce, návrhy denních programů jsou díky tomu značně předimenzované. Řazení dle oblastí (čtvrtí města) je z tohoto hlediska i nepraktické (upřednostnění prohlídky jedné části města před ostatními).

    • Prozkoumejte fascinující rozmanitost Kalifornie na 24 vybraných výletech, které vás zavedou do úchvatných koutů této ikonické destinace. Začněte zasněženými horami a mlhou zahalenými sekvojovými lesy na severu a pokračujte do vyprahlých pouští a sluncem zalitých pláží na jihu. Každá z těchto tras vás zavede do jiného světa, ať už jde o procházky po dramatickém pobřeží okresu Mendocino, výlety do závanů historie v ospalých městečkách z doby zlaté horečky v podhůří Sierra Nevady, nebo návštěvu pulzujících metropolí jako San Diego a San Francisco. Díky vynikající síti silnic a dálnic se můžete snadno vydat na každý z těchto výletů autem, ať už se chystáte projet vinice v Napa Valley, prozkoumat jarní kvetoucí Mohavskou poušť, nebo projet klikaté horské silnice v Yosemitském národním parku. Tyto trasy vás zavedou do mnoha méně známých oblastí Kalifornie a odhalí vám její skryté klenoty, které mnozí turisté nikdy neobjeví. Průvodce vás před cestou důkladně připraví na každý výlet, poskytne užitečné informace o dopravě, ubytování, stravování a dalších praktických záležitostech. Každý výlet je podrobně popsán a provázán s doporučenými atrakcemi a trasami, včetně map a tipů na procházky a další aktivity.
