Frommer's EasyGuide

Everything you need for a successful and easy Australian vacation―in one concise and intelligent guide. The Australian dollar has recently plunged in value against the U.S. dollar making Australia far more accessible than it has been in years. To keep up with the changes the new currency situation has brought about, we've turned once again to Lee Mylne. Based in Brisbane (the third most populous city in Australia), Mylne has been an Australian travel journalist for nearly all her working life. She has crisscrossed every state and territory of Australia by every means of transport, and she is a life member and past president of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. The book is updated each year, concisely written (so it's easy to carry) and printed in large, easy-to-read type. It contains: 16 pages of vibrant photographs, plus dozens of photographs throughout the book; Opinionated reviews of Australia's best attractions, hotels, restaurants, nightlife venues and shops―everything you need to know, nothing you don't; Detailed local maps marked with hotels, restaurants, and attractions, plus a map of Sydney's ferry system; Expert tips and recommendations for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, Tasmania, and the Red Centre including Uluru; Reviews with exact pricing, so there's never any guessing, using the Frommer's star rating system; Suggested itineraries, including for families and for one-week visits; Smart advice on how to scuba dive, avoiding dangerous animals, dodging crowds, renting a car, money-saving packages, and more; A rich section on the history of Australia, including detailed context on Aboriginal issues and tips on cultural sensitivity; PLUS! A handy pull-out, indexed map of Australia ideal for in-depth trip planning. There's a reason that Frommer's has been the most trusted name in travel for more than sixty years. Arthur Frommer created the best-selling guide series in 1957 to help American servicemen fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe, and since then, we have published thousands of titles became a household name helping millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet. Travel is easy with Frommer's.

Frommer's books aren't written by committee, or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done.

He's checked out all of the country's best hotels and restaurants in person, and offers authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the choices that suit your tastes and budget, whether you're a backpacker or on a splashy honeymoon. Most importantly, he's not shy about telling readers what to see, and what they can skip without regret. The book includes: • A handy fold-out map, plus detailed maps throughout the guide • Exact pricing, opening hours, and the other important details that will make your trip smoother and less hectic. • Smartly conceived itineraries for travelers of all types, so you can shape your vacation to fit your interests. • Savvy, sometimes sneaky, tips for saving money in ALL price ranges, whether you need to pinch pennies or are able to splash out a bit. This book has it all from budget to luxury and everything in between. • Fastidiously researched information on the many

Margie Rynn, author of our Easy Guide to Paris, came to Paris sixteen years ago for a short, touristic stay, never left, met and married a Frenchman, started a French family, and then, for most of those sixteen years, has been writing fascinating guidebook recommendations for other Americans attracted to Paris. She has a major following among Frommer's readers, and her guidebooks enjoy a heavy sale. This particular one has been thoroughly updated and revised for use in 2016, for visits to a city that won the hearts of most of us because of its astonishing outpouring of support for free speech and expression in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo tragedy. In 288 pages of dynamic, thoughtful prose, she guides the intelligent visitor to all the storied wonders of a glorious city, stressing her preferences for the best in every category.

Called "the most interesting city in America", New Orleans is once again a massively popular destination, on a travel wish-list kept by almost every American. Our author, Diana K. Schwam, has written four books and numerous articles about New Orleans, where her long-ago desire to become a resident followed, she says, a familiar sequence: Vacation, Enrapture, Home Ownership, and Weight Gain. In this freshly-researched and up-to-date Easy Guide of 288 pages, she'll introduce you, among many other topics, to the world-famous cuisine of that city's unique restaurants, the vibrant music scene, the much-acclaimed new museums (dealing with World War II at one, with Southern Cuisine at another), and the historic architecture of the French Quarter, Garden District, and other famous locales.

It was Thomas Jefferson who reputedly said that "every man has two countries, his own and France". The five authors of our Easy Guide to that country (each dealing with the area of their specialty) obviously share Mr. Jefferson's viewpoint, so heartfelt and positive is their reaction to the major highlights of France and the single best options for lodgings, meals, sightseeing, shopping, and more. Like all of Frommer's guides, the emphasis here is on preferences, the strong opinions of each author, the factually-based recommendations they make, in a 288-page easy-to-use book that does not overwhelm with unnecessary locations, but with Paris, Normandy, the Loire Valley, Provence and the French Riviera.

Preparing for a visit to Orlando can turn into a full-time job, and paying for it can devour a small fortune. Most books on the market make the problem worse, either burying vacationers in tiny details and anxieties or functioning as unquestioning cheerleaders for the high-priced theme parks and resorts. But Frommer's 2017 Easy Guide cuts through the noise and hyperbole to deliver what no other book does: Honest talk, frank advice, and an affectionate insider's secrets to appreciating and affording Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, Sea World, and the inimitable attractions of Orlando and Central Florida. Praised by locals and visitors alike, it's the only guide to show you Orlando the way you actually want to see it. No other guide book is as comprehensive while remaining so concise and so honest. No other book synthesizes advice, history, and good sense in such an easy-to-read format.
