Passport to Barcelona
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is pleased to confirm the September release of Passport to..., a stunning series of multimedia, interactive city guides created with the help of the travel gurus at Lonely Planet and exclusively available on PSP (PlayStation Portable).
The launch will see six city guides covering Europe’s most popular destinations: Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Paris, Prague and Rome, arrive on shelves this autumn.
Each guide has been developed with the young city breaker and frequent traveller in mind and comes packed with information on how to experience the very best places in town - from the latest restaurants to the most underground of clubs - along with videos, audio walks, photography, maps and pre-planned itineraries to suit every sort of visit, and every type of adventurous traveller.
Passport to... is the only information source you really need, taking the knowledge and experience from the team at the Lonely Planet and mixing it with the great technology PSP has to offer. Make the most of the experiences each of the cities has to offer.
There are three information categories:
- Points of interest: Each city has 250 main points of interest covering eating, sleeping, nightlife, shopping and sights with original photography, key information and contact details
- Essential information: The bits you just must know from pharmacies to embassies, hospitals, airlines, money and costs
- Getting around: Comprehensive and detailed zoom-in, zoom-out maps covering transport systems and roads
And four different ways to make the most of your visit:
- Audio Tours: Each guide comes with three bespoke audio tours that you can listen to whilst you walk. Each takes you through a particular part of town and takes you off the beaten track
- Video Content: A dedicated film crew has been out there capturing the essence of each city to inspire you – and show you round even before you touch down
- Itineraries: Passport to... comes packed with pre-loaded itineraries for every sort of visit from a cultural break to a weekend of hedonism. Each itinerary comes with a calendar view that can be built on to create the perfect schedule
- Your Itineraries: Build your own visit from scratch drawing on the 250 points of interest to create your perfect city break – and go online to download more!
