Could you be more specific regarding the information you want, and which countries you're interested in. Most tourist offices will send brochures or pamphlets on request. Let me know what you're interested in.

Cheers!!!

I'll try to find some information on country-specific web sites, so that you can order some pamphlets (might take me a little while to get the information together).

I was curious also on whether you've looked at any Guide Books yet for the countries you're interested in? You might find some either in your local Book Stores or Library. Some of the popular Guide Books are published by Rick Steves, Lonely Planet or Let's Go. I tend to prefer the Rick Steves books, as I like his travel philosophy and find the information in these are very current. If you want to have a look at the RS Guidebooks, check his web site.

It's great that you're taking the time to plan your trip. Will get back to you soon.

Hopefully, this is the information you're looking for:

France: www.francetourism.com
Italy: www.italiantourism.com
Greece: www.gnto.gr
Poland: www.polandtour.org
Belgium: www.visitbelgium.com
Netherlands: www.holland.com/ca/
Czech Republic: www.czechtourism.com
Switzerland: www.myswitzerland.com/en
Britain: www.visitbritain.com

As far as I know, all of the "official" tourist offices will mail brochures or pamphlets on request. Although not on your list, I included England in case you decided further in your planning to visit there (it's a great place!).

Hope this helps? Good luck with your trip planning!!!

I recommend you check our your local public library. I get all my travel videos/DVDs through them.

Mind you..I work there ;D

Thanx Eagle, a great help as always. Been super busy here lately but the book store is one of my next places, i love reading so ill probably get a couple of guidebooks, to make sure im getting all the info possible.

Libby- I never even thought of the library...duh!, but our main library is being rebuilt right now and thats probably why i didnt give it a whirl.
