Summary

Frommer's is the name you can trust for great travel bargains. Our acclaimed $-a-Day series is not for backpackers who want to rough it, but for travelers with taste, who demand comfortable accommodations and good, authentic meals. We're the only series for travelers who have outgrown their student lifestyle but still want to stretch their dollars.

Our guides are packed with smart consumer tips that help travelers get the best deals on everything from airfares to package tours. They're loaded with listings for affordable hotels -- not fleabags and dorms, but inexpensive mom-and-pop motels, B&Bs of character, and comfortable inns and guesthouses. There are also low-cost bistros and ethnic restaurants; affordable shopping and nightlife; and a complete sightseeing guide, which is supplemented by the best things to do for free (or almost). And we've also thrown in some wonderful choices for those times when you really just want to splurge a bit. Each and every listing gives exact prices so travelers can plan their budgets carefully.
