HOW TO USE THIS ROUGH
GUIDE eBOOK
This Rough Guide to Sicily is one of a new generation of informative and easy-to-use
travel-guide eBooks that guarantees you make the most of your trip. An essential tool
for pre-trip planning, it also makes a great travel companion when you’re on the road.
From the table of contents, you can click straight to the main sections of the eBook.
Start with the Introduction, which gives you a flavour of Sicily, with details of what to
see, what not to miss, itineraries and more – everything you need to get started. This is
followed by Basics, with pre-departure tips and practical information, such as flight
details and health advice. The guide chapters offer comprehensive and in-depth
coverage of the whole of Sicily, including area highlights and full-colour maps
featuring all the sights and listings. Finally, Contexts fills you in on history,
architecture, recommended books and films and includes a handy Language section.
Detailed area maps feature in the guide chapters and are also listed in the dedicated
map section, accessible from the table of contents. Depending on your hardware, you
can double-tap on the maps to see larger-scale versions, or select different scales.
There are also thumbnails below more detailed maps – in these cases, you can opt to
“zoom left/top” or “zoom right/bottom” or view the full map. The screen-lock function
on your device is recommended when viewing enlarged maps. Make sure you have the
latest software updates, too.
Throughout the guide, we’ve flagged up our favourite places - a perfectly sited hotel,
an atmospheric café, a special restaurant - with the “author pick” icon . You can
select your own favourites and create a personalized itinerary by bookmarking the
sights, venues and activities that are of interest, giving you the quickest possible
access to everything you’ll need for your time away.
