Guides range from worldwide concerns such as rough guide and lonely planet, to small but specific sites focusing on one country or area. This section covers most of the general guides, but if you are looking for information on one particular country or area, your best bet is to check that country's listings in our destinations section.

Lonely Planet. The people who brought you the excellent guide books and TV programs are on-line with a searchable database of destination overviews. Elsewhere on the site are information pages and first-hand experiences/advice.

Culture finder. Covering 550 cities in the U.S. and Canada this site is a template of how it should be done. Being 'Culture' don't expect rock (or jazz) listings. Apart from that the content is too huge to go into detail but it's the background info, interviews, articles and message boards that make this site exceptional. Simply stunning.

Festivals.com. A global festival guide/ listings site with every orientation or persuasion covered (Renaissance Fayres to Jazz festivals). While the content is fairly interesting (especially in 'arts', their editorial section), the site itself is hanging together with many links collapsed. Hint: try deleting '/index.html' from most of the URLs.

Moon Travel Handbooks. Despite enjoying some of the content of this site, one can't help but slowly resent that they're CONSTANTLY peddling their own books (although some full texts, including their staying healthy in Asia, Africa and Latin America are included). There is some scope for what lies beyond advertising their published work, but it's a small section of the site. Extracts abound, a 'Road Trip' tour of the States and one man's experience traveling the world alone serve to make it interesting, but less of the hard sell would help.

The Rough Guides. Easily searchable, linked to ITN so you can impulse-book and some of the best guides going (full text). All this plus an on-line magazine that's worth reading. Both it and Lonely Planet set the standard...
