Lonely Planet

For decades, there has been only one name dominating the travel guide market – Lonely Planet.

There are now more than 150 million Lonely Planet guidebooks in print, located in homes, hotels, hostels, and suitcases all over the world. They are the go-to trusted source for any traveller looking for in-depth, practical information about their destination, from the best places to stay to the must-try foods to eat and the must-visit attractions.

These guides range from overarching destination guides for countries such as Indonesia, to specific guides for particular types of travel, such as the Best Road Trips New Zealand. You’ll also find map selections, such as the Paris City Map, and fun kids’ books such as the Lonely Planet Kids Create Your Own Travel Journal.

Lonely Planet language guides

Many travellers know Lonely Planet as the go-to brand for travel guides. Slightly lesser known is their range of language guides.

These resources are a combination of dictionaries and phrasebooks, providing a uniquely useful tool for anyone in a new country.

For example, in the French Phrasebook & Dictionary, you’ll find everything from phrases to learn before you go, common phrases to listen for, things you’ll likely see on signs, guides on how to order in French, pronunciation guides, and so much more. It’s these kind of practical tips that can make a huge difference when exploring a new country.

Lonely Planet ebooks

For travellers packing light, or only travelling with a carry-on suitcase, a heavy book might not be the most practical item to take.

Fortunately, there is a huge variety of Lonely Planet ebooks available for download to your device. These give you all the same fantastic tips and advice, with only a fraction of the weight in your bag. Plus, you can download them immediately, so it’s easy to buy a guide, map, or phrasebook even after you’ve already arrived at your destination.
