Lonely Planet Sri Lanka: Plan the Trip of a Lifetime | Detailed Itineraries & Maps | Insider Tips | Covers Colombo, The South, The Hill Country, The Ancient Cities and more

I've bought this for a friend travelling to Sri Lanka and found it a very well-written introduction to the country. Besides, I do not remember the last time I read such a diverting essay by a Booker Prize winner in an LP! (Shehan Karunatilaka, for anyone interested).

Le guide Lonely Planet sono da sempre le migliori. Nel tempo sono evolute, come è giusto che sia, ma comunque rimangono sempre un punto di riferimento per i viaggiatori. Io non parto mai per una nuova meta senza la mia lonely planet, averla mi fa sentire già a destinazione e poi una volta arrivata la porto sempre con me e la consulto tutte le sere. Acquistata la guita dello Sri Lanka per un viaggio che sto programmando per il prossimo anno. Ho trovato piacevolmente modernizzato lo stile e i contenuti

Love lonely planet never fails in its mission. Bit disappointed they sold me Colombo. It's really not a tourist destination and as a result we wasted time there that would have been better spent elsewhere but otherwise super useful as always.

What a beautiful book. Very useful when we were planning our trip.

Used the Lonely Planet guides for lots of our travels. This did not let us down. These guides have a good balance of information, without being too wordy, so that they can be used on the move.
