About Frommer’s: There’s a reason that Frommer’s has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 60 years. Arthur Frommer created the bestselling guide series in 1957 to help American service members fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe. Since then, we have published thousands of titles, becoming a household name by helping millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet. Travel is easy with Frommer’s.

"Frommer’s guides cut through influencer noise and AI-generated jargon to give genuine recommendations born from personal journeys and deep understanding. It's the trusted voice of someone who's truly been there, offering insights you won't find anywhere else.” – Samantha Brown, Host of PBS’ Places to Love

“Frommer’s earnest prose, alternately lyrical and artless but always compulsively informative, convey a near-missionary zeal for travel and elevated “Frommer’s” from the how-to genre to the kind of book that could change a person’s worldview.” – The New York Times

“Frommer’s has now re-established themselves among the leading travel titles… These human-scale books, written and published by people who genuinely know and love their subject, are perfect for travel’s post-pandemic recovery”. – The Guardian

“One of the most recognized guidebook brands in the world, Frommer's influence on the traveling public over the past seven decades has been profound. More than 75 million guidebooks bearing the Frommer name have been sold since the mid-1950s.” – Travel Weekly Magazine

"It has been decades since I got my start as a travel writer,  writing for Frommer's during my years living in Florence, but in my eyes they remain an unwavering go-to source and last word for any of the countless destinations they cover today. I’ve consulted them more times than I can remember and have never once been disappointed. Am so happy to see that Pauline Frommer and her cracker-jack team continue the enduring legacy of her father Arthur Frommer.” – Patricia Schultz, author “1000 Places to See Before You Die"
