Two of my 5 reasons to travel without a guidebook where that guides are expensive and heavy. PDF guides makes these two reasons obsolete. I compiled a list of over 500 free travel guide books:
- Hostelworld has 53 City Travel guides, with a strong focus on Europe.
- Low Cost Airlines Ryanair has 3 Downloadable City Guides (Faro, Kaunas, Ediburgh)
- FastCheck Arrival Guides has 320 Free Travel Guides with maps, covering all continents. (The same guides can be found on Scandinavian Airlines and on Bootsnall websites)
- In Your Pocket has free pdf versions of its 109 guidebooks, with a strong focus on Eastern Europe.
- Market New Zealand has 20 Travel Guides aimed at Business Travelers.
- Go and Roam has 4 pdf Guides for Cities in Australia and Asia.
Note: I didn’t include site that needs registration to have access free travel guides (Tripadvisor, Tripwolf…).
