Like with other Eyewitness Travel books from DK, this travel guide is incredibly compact and contains a number of foldout maps neatly tucked inside its slender binding. This makes this book the perfect size for stowing in a shoulder purse or even a back pocket. The book is organized with the editors' "Top 10" recommendations first and then a number of other sections following that include various informational pieces, such as hotel suggestions. I like how the Top 10 section not only encompasses a number of lists like top 10 restaurants, top 10 nightclubs, etc., but also includes Top 10 highlights within the biggest attractions. For instance, the National Air and Space Museum is featured prominently as a must-see and then the page spread dedicated to it lists the biggest draws (e.g., Spirit of St. Louis, Kitty Hawk, etc.).
In addition to the various recommendations, this travel guide provides a great deal of practical information from addresses to hours to museum maps and much more. Throughout, the book also frequently references historical and cultural context to help the reader understand the significance of why these tourist spots are important.… (plus d'informations)
