How To Use This E-Book
This Explore Guide has been produced by the editors of Insight
Guides, whose books have set the standard for visual travel guides
since 1970. With top-quality photography and authoritative
recommendations, these guidebooks bring you the very best routes
and itineraries in the world’s most exciting destinations.
Best Routes
The routes in this book provide something to suit all budgets, tastes
and trip lengths. As well as covering the destination’s many classic
attractions, the itineraries track lesser-known sights, and there are
also excursions for those who want to extend their visit outside the
city. The routes embrace a range of interests, so whether you are an
art fan, a gourmet, a history buff or have kids to entertain, you will find
an option to suit.
We recommend reading the whole of a route before setting out. This
should help you to familiarise yourself with it and enable you to plan
where to stop for refreshments – options are shown in the ‘Food and
Drink’ box at the end of each tour.
Introduction
The routes are set in context by this introductory section, giving an
overview of the destination to set the scene, plus background
information on food and drink, shopping and more, while a succinct
history timeline highlights the key events over the centuries.
Directory
Also supporting the routes is a Directory chapter, with a clearly
organised A–Z of practical information, our pick of where to stay while
you are there and select restaurant listings; these eateries
complement the more low-key cafés and restaurants that feature
within the routes and are intended to offer a wider choice for evening
dining. Also included here are some nightlife listings, plus a handy
language guide and our recommendations for books and films about
the destination.
Maps
All key attractions and sights mentioned in the text are numbered and
cross-referenced to high-quality maps. Wherever you see the
reference [map] just tap this to go straight to the related map. You can
also double-tap any map for a zoom view.
Images
You’ll find lots of beautiful high-resolution images that capture the
essence of the destination. Simply double-tap on an image to see it
full-screen.

know of in the least, that we are infringing upon them, and the
difficulty is to get at any knowledge. We may be now
infringing, and may have been infringing for years, and a
person may have been watching us all the time, and when he
thinks that we have made a sufficient number he may come
down upon us, and there is no record. A very large number of
Patents are now taken out for what is termed a combination of
known things, and known things for the same purpose, and
the descriptions of those Patents are generally so bad that it
is impossible to tell the parts that are actually patented; in
matters of that kind it has become a very serious question as
to conducting a large business.”
Mr. Grove says it is natural that people should yield to the holder
of the Patent, for, if
“I had at one time great doubts about it, but things have
arrived at a dead lock. The Courts now really cannot try these
cases. We have at these very sittings three Patent cases
made remanets because they cannot be tried; they interfere
too much with other business. We have at this moment going
on a Patent trial which is now in its fourth day. We have had
within, I think, a week another trial of a Patent, which lasted
seven, and a third which lasted five days. During the time that
these Patent cases have been going on there have been
heavy Patent arbitrations going on, two of which I can speak
to myself; one, I think, lasted seventeen days, and the other,
which involved a very simple issue, lasted six or seven days.
Those arbitrations went on contemporaneously, and the
cases were obliged to be tried by arbitration because the
Courts could not try them; it would have occupied too much
public time. While these cases have been going on several
Patent cases have been also ready for argument in banco,
and one has been postponed.”
“Is it not the case that such possessor could refuse you a
licence, and so prevent you from making the improvements
altogether?—Certainly he could.”
So Mr. Newton:—
“As the sailor with his pockets full is a prey to the crimps, so
is a ship-contractor a prey to Patent-mongers—patent
windlasses, patent reefing apparatus, patent blocks, patent
rudders, patent chain-lifters, patent capstans, patent steering
gear, patent boat-lowering apparatus, patent paints, and
numberless others, all attempting to hook on to the poor
contractor. This would be no grievance, were we not aware
that most of them are patent humbugs.”
