Blue Guides Recommended
In our guide books and on this website we recommend places to stay, eat, or sometimes just to have a coffee or a drink - these are flagged with our "recommended" Blue Guides colours. You can access the whole list, for free, here:
- See the Criteria for Recommendations and our Statement of Editorial Independence (we accept no payment for recommendations). Note that the Blue Guides have ALWAYS provided dining and accommodation recommendations, this is not a new fad.
- Check our annotated maps in the Destination pages. Like our ROME map (we're working on mapping the recommendations in our other books too).
- We also have a page of ideas for some of the better cultural tours on offer.
- To keep our entries up-to-date, your feedback is essential. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any views, corrections or omissions to our listings.
"This is a guidebook confidently focused almost exclusively on art and architecture, and although there are . . . pages of "practical information" at the back, they are refreshingly not aimed at a back-packer readership." Apollo Magazine review of Blue Guide Florence.
- Independent recommendations from the excellent Charming Small Hotels guide books
