Hot on the heels of Marc Heiden’s Hiroshima, the other half of the dynamic duo behind Chicago, Peter “Peterfitzgerald” B Fitzgerald has completed Wikitravel Washington, D.C. (ISBN 1449569412).  As the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. has an extraordinary collection of free museums, and the lion’s share of the nation’s  most iconic monuments. But beyond treasures like the Lincoln Memorial and the Smithsonian, the city is booming with shopping, dining, and nightlife befitting a world-class metropolis.  As always with Wikitravel guides, this book takes you well off the beaten path to cover every corner of the city and ranges beyond city lines into Northern Virginia and Maryland as well.

The guide retails for $14.99 and is in stock on Amazon.com:

Wikitravel Washington, D.C.: The free, complete, up-to-date and reliable guide to Washington, D.C.

The book is eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping and is generally printed and shipped out within 24 hours of your order.

Here at Wikitravel Press, we pride ourselves on updating our guides monthly, but every now and then our revisions go beyond just an update — and that’s the case for two of our titles this month.

Wikitravel Helsinki, our guide to Helsinki’s capital and the surrounding area, has now expanded to take in Finland’s second city Tampere, just an hour and a half away train.  Home to the world’s only Lenin Museum (complete with capitalist gift shop), a Moomin Valley filled with cuddly cartoon characters and the wild nightlife you’d expect from a university town, Tampere is now also Ryanair’s Finland hub and an increasingly popular gateway to the country.  There’s also a new walking itinerary called A seaside stroll in Helsinki, taking in some of Helsinki’s most popular sights and others that usually fly far below the tourist radar.

Wikitravel Singapore, dedicated to the hyperkinetic tropical city-state, has considerably expanded its coverage of Singapore’s outlying areas, with the beaches and Peranakan shophouses of the East Coast as well as historical World War II sites and the latest in dining and nightlife around the North and West of the island.  The recently opened Southern Ridges Walk, a 9-km stroll through normally unseen sides of southern Singapore and across the amazing Henderson Waves, has also been added to the guide.

The updated November editions of both books are out now and available on Amazon.com, and as always, they’re eligible for Free Super Shipping in the United States.  Get yours today!
