Like all Blue Guides this is for people who are interested in the history and architecture of the places the guides cover. The information is mostly organized for preparing tours in small regional or local areas helping to ensure that visitors don't skip points of interest that don't normally receive publicity. The guides only pay cursory attention to accommodations, a section than tends to become out of date quickly and is easily compensated for by a plethora of options on the Internet.
