Many people still prefer using paper guidebooks when traveling, despite the abundance of online resources. This is because online guides can be hard to navigate on the go, whether you’re on a bus or walking. In contrast, a physical guidebook provides a clear and concise overview of the places you want to visit, including useful details like directions, prices, and hours.

The popular travel guide series by Lonely Planet also offers well-written reviews of restaurants and accommodations. With a guidebook, you can have all the information you need at your fingertips, making your travels smoother and more enjoyable.

Here are some of our favorites.
