DK Eyewitness Travel Guide New England - Best Travel Book for New England Vacations, Road Trips & Adventure Planning | Perfect for Tourists & Explorers

DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are famous for their colorful photography, fascinating breakaway diagrams of historical buildings and museums, and maps of cities and places of interest, wrapped around a concise but informative travel narrative. This new DK Eyewitness Travel Guide to New England is all that and a bag of chips. In just under 400 colorful pages, it provides the basic resources to plan an enjoyable trip to New England.The five New England states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine share a long history, excellent natural scenery, and any number of opportunities for outdoor recreation in any season. Most of New England is no more than a day's drive from the major transportation and cultural hub of Boston, so getting around doesn't have to be a show stopper (well, except for the traffic on I-95 on a holiday weekend). This guide is broken down into sections by state, although Boston of course gets its own chapter. The narrative includes an introduction to the region, traveler's needs, and a survival guide.It is worth remembering that the major attractions in New England can get really crowded in season. Plan ahead, or better yet, go off the beaten path. The pleasant town of Coventry, Connecticut, offers the home of American Revolutionary War spy and patriot Nathan Hale, and a big lake. Deer Isle, Maine, has a spectacular bridge and a real lobstering town on Deer Isle Thorofare. The interiors of all five states have much to offer, even as most visitors flock to the major towns. Explore at will, and take the guide along. Highly recommended.
