Nelles Guide Reiseführer Philippinen

Travel Destinations: The Nelles Guide to the Philippines invites you to island hop and dream on palm-fringed beaches. It leads you to historical sites and through volcanic landscapes. Organized into regional chapters, it provides up-to-date information about Manila, Luzon, the Visayas including Palawan, as well as Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. Away from tourist paths, you can discover the fascination of the Philippines.

History: In the land of 7,107 islands lives a mix of Malay and Chinese ethnicities, which has been Christianized under Spanish and later American colonial rule over the past 400 years. However, the Muslim minority in the south continues to resist Westernization to this day.

Travel Information: The travel information at the end of the book assists with trip preparations and offers practical tips from A to Z. You will also find a language guide here. Info boxes at the end of each chapter provide insights into restaurants, attractions, and transportation options.
