Frommer's books aren't written by committee or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We employ the best local experts to author our guides--experts like Pat Lee, who worked as a reporter, editor, and columnist for The Chronicle Herald in Halifax for decades. Since leaving the daily news beat, Lee has traveled the world and explored her own backyard to unearth stories and experiences across Canada and in the Atlantic provinces.
Lee introduces readers to the best and most authentic restaurants, hotels, shops, attractions, and nightlife in the Maritimes, providing unique insights into the region's history, natural wonders, and vibrant contemporary culture. Most important, she'll tell you straight out what's worth your precious vacation time--and what you can skip with no qualms.
This guide contains:
- A fold-out map, plus detailed maps throughout
- Exact pricing, opening hours, and other important details that will make your trip smoother and less hectic
- Smartly conceived itineraries for travelers of all types--especially those looking to make the most of their time
- Fastidiously researched information on the region's famed scenic drives and hiking opportunities
- Savvy--even sneaky--tips for saving money in ALL price ranges, whether you need to pinch pennies or can splurge a little
- Opinionated and detailed reviews of attractions, hotels, restaurants, shops, and nightlife venues, written with the understanding that our only client is the reader--meaning no listing in this book is paid advertising. Frommer's takes pride in its tradition of journalistic travel writing.
