He was born into a wealthy Venetian merchant family in 1254 and at the age of 17 he embarked on an epic journey to Asia, as one of the first westerners to ever visit China. When he returned 24 years later he recorded his extensive travels in a book - publishing possibly the first travel guide ever - and introducing Europeans to Central Asia and China. Marco Polo's travels have since inspired countless adventurers to set off and see the world. Allegedly, Christopher Columbus set off across the Atlantic with a copy of Marco Polo's original book!

All you need for a visit to Milan
I visited Milan for 3 days, and had never been before. The guide was used constantly to plan and make sure we saw as much as we could in the time. The street map was our only means of navigation on foot around the city and was easy to use and clear to read. Overall the guide was excellent.

Pocket friendly with plenty of details.
Tiny little guide that covers the essentials. I like having a book with me to avoid the temptation to stare at the phone screen all holiday.
