About This Book
Insight Guide Philippines is a comprehensive, full-colour travel guide that provides an essential introduction to this little-known Asian country. The Philippines is a destination of thousands of islands fringed by idyllic tropical beaches, plus stunning mountain scenery, colonial architecture and lively festivals.
The Insight Guide will assist you in finding your ideal itinerary through what can be a daunting list of options, with the inspirational Best Of section setting out the principal places to visit in the Philippines. In-depth information on the country's history and culture is provided in a series of lively pages, while chapters on contemporary culture, food, festivals and architecture paint a vivid portrait of life in the Philippines today.
