Deep in southern Morocco, beneath the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas
mountains, Marrakesh is an intense and captivating city. Exciting,
fascinating, it's arguably the final outpost of Mediterranean culture
before the Sahara, yet strong West African influences are also distinct
in the whirling, informal circus of its famous central square, the Jemaa
el Fna, where locals and tourists gather around acrobats, snake
charmers, mystics and griots. Marrakesh DIRECTIONS has all you need to
get the most out of a city of magnetic appeal: the best places to stay
on a low budget or a comfortable one, the sights not to miss, the most
interesting bazaars ... in short the best Marrakesh has to offer. And it
includes a full account of the delightful seaside town of Essaouira,
just three hours west of Marrakesh. Browse the ideas section and you'll
know what you want to do, 24 hours a day if you like. Flip to the places
section and you can explore Marrakesh district by district, with every

Founded 1500 years ago on a cluster of mudflats in the centre of a
lagoon, Venice rose to become Europe's main trading town between the
West and the East, and at its height controlled an empire that stretched
from Italy to Cyprus. The melancholic mood of the city is in part a
product of the discrepancy between what Venice used to be, and what it
has become: in effect, all of central Venice is one colossal sight, and
you'd have a great time if you were to spend your days here just
wandering the alleyways at leisure, and soaking it all up. Venice
DIRECTIONS has all you need to get the most out of your stay: the
best-value hotels, the most unmissable sights, and the coolest bars and
restaurants. Browse our ideas section and you'll know what you want to
