Pocket-Pilot city guides are perfectly practical travel guides that put most guidebooks to shame. The guides are shirt-pocket sized, easily folded, laminated for durability, and easy to read. They are packed to bursting with useful information such as how to use/navigate the public transit system, a brief guide to the citys most popular points of interest, a neighborhood-by-neighborhood description of the city, listings of parks, cultural events, and hot spots, notes on local cuisine, and useful phrases - and, above all, a detailed street map with magnifications of prime areas.
