This DK Family Guide is one of a series of illustrated travel-guide eBooks that is designed to help you and your family get the most from your holiday. With dozens of expert recommendations for sightseeing with kids, as well as detailed practical information, this eBook is ideal both for planning your trip and exploring on the go – browse essential practical and cultural information on your destination, check out the best things to see and do in each sightseeing area or simply tap through the guide and be inspired.
The best way to explore this eBook is to begin at the main table of contents. The first section of the guide (Introducing...) gives you all the essentials for planning a family holiday – including how to get there and around, health, insurance, money and communications – as well as a brief historical overview. Next comes the main sightseeing section (Exploring…), which is divided into areas and comprises key sights and other attractions, accompanied by Kids’ Corners – quizzes, activities and fun facts designed to engage children in the story of each sight. Grey tabs* throughout this section take you to separate chapters at the end of the guide. These include: Eat and Drink; Where to Stay; sight-specific Practical Information; and More Things to Do, which suggests where to take your kids to run about (“Letting off Steam”) or shelter from the rain (“Take Cover”), sight-related downloads, apps, games and films (“Find out More”) and other places to visit (“Next Stop…”).
Shorter contents lists appear at the start of every section in the guide and throughout the sightseeing section, and are designed to make chapter navigation quick and easy. You can jump back to these by clicking on the chapter-heading links that sit with an arrow icon at the top of every sub-section.
A simple map at the start of the Exploring… chapter identifies each area in the guide, and there are more detailed maps at the back of the eBook. Select the grey map tabs throughout the guide to access these, and double-tap or click the maps to see larger-scale versions fill your screen.
As you use this guide, you can create a personalized itinerary by bookmarking the sights, venues and activities that are of most interest, giving you the quickest possible access to everything you'll need to make the most of your time away.
Please note that due to software limitations on some devices, you may find some of our tab links will not function. If this should occur, we recommend navigating via the table of contents.
*The first time the grey tabs are used, it may be several seconds before they take you through to the next page. However, when they have been used once, the function speeds up.
