BUG travel guides are just for backpackers

BUG travel guides are published just for backpackers – that’s young independent travellers who travel with their gear in a backpack and stay in hostels.

Unlike other guides, BUG doesn’t weigh you down with listings of fancy restaurants and flash hotels that you can’t afford. Instead BUG guides have practical information on the things you want to see and do. Rather than tell you about expensive tours, BUG will tell you how to get around on public transport and about cheap iconic eateries such as a classic hot dog stand rather than overpriced stuffy restaurants and the only accommodation establishments in BUG guides are backpackers’ hostels and youth hostels.

Because BUG only has hostels in their guides, they have more detailed reviews of more hostels than any other guide. In most cases BUG will review virtually every hostel that was open when the guide was researched.

What if I’m not a backpacker; are BUG guides still for me?

If you’re not staying in hostels, but have already booked your accommodation, then BUG guides are still a great travel companion.

Accommodation is listed at the back of each PDF guide so you only need to print the first half of each guide to benefit from all BUG’s up-to-date information about transport, sightseeing and eating and drinking on a budget as well as BUG’s detailed maps.
