'Questa regione ha un mix unico di amore per il passato e modernità spinta, una coesistenza di tradizione e progresso che non ha eguali nel resto del mondo.' Per pianificare un viaggio da ricordare: fate festa all'Oktoberfest; immergetevi in una favola allo Schloss Neuschwanstein; ringiovanite alle terme di Baden-Baden; fate una passeggiata sulle orme di Mozart a Salzburg.

'Porto affascina con il suo centro storico, l'ottimo cibo e i vini raffinati, una vivace vita notturna e il calore degli abitanti. Passeggiate per le sue stradine medievali e vi innamorerete di questa città piena di sentimento.' Dritti al cuore di Porto: le esperienze da non perdere, alla scoperta della città, itinerari a piedi e giorno per giorno, il meglio di ogni quartiere, ristoranti, locali, shopping e architettura.

'Cioccolato, orologi a cucù e Jodel: la Svizzera è anche questo, ma a sorprendere il visitatore in un paese dove si parlano quattro lingue sono soprattutto i luoghi leggendari e le esperienze di viaggio indimenticabili'. (Nicola Williams)
