Introducing our new Mini Map + Guides

With a new decade on the horizon, we’re delighted to introduce you to our new Mini Map + Guide series. These colourful pocket guides provide a smart way to navigate the world’s favourite short break destinations and will be launched with new guides to eight iconic and eclectic cities. 

Comparable in size and weight to a passport, they are packed full of ideas, with 112 pages of travel insights and tips. And to help you get around, they also include a 1.4m² fold-out map, perfect for exploring with ease. Launching in the United Kingdom on 2 January, they’ll be available elsewhere later in 2020.

Our first set of Mini Map + Guide cities are...
