MICHELIN GUIDES: FOR THE DISCERNING TRAVELLER

Michelin Green Guides are complete travel guides for longer trips, and are recognized by their bright green covers. They provide a wealth of destination information including historical background, art and architecture, cultural insights as well as restaurant and hotel information. Entries are organized geographically by town or neighbourhood.

Michelin Must Sees guides are more experiential in nature, and designed for short trips and weekend getaways. They group specific activities together rather than list items geographically.

The Michelin Guides are restaurant and hotel guides, and are sometimes referred to as the red guides due to their distinctive red covers. A team of full-time professional restaurant and hotel inspectors anonymously evaluate establishments. All evaluations involve anonymous test meals or overnight stays at each establishment to assess the quality and the reliability of the experience. These guides do not contain site and attraction information found in the other guides.

And, of course, Michelin's Maps are the most trusted in the world.
