About Us

Frommer's ("Froh-mers") has been in continuous publication since the 1957 debut of Arthur Frommer's revolutionary Europe on 5 Dollars a Day, which changed the way the world traveled. Since then, Frommer's has sold over 75 million guidebooks to all corners of the globe.

In 2027, Frommer's enters its eighth decade as what has been called the most trusted name in travel.

In an era when so much information is synthetic or untrustworthy, Frommer's remains family-owned, handcrafted, and truly independent. Our travel info is researched and written by human beings, never by AI.  Our goal since 1957 has always been to show you how to experience the essence of your travel destination the way locals do, no matter your budget. Businesses cannot pay to be recommended by Frommer’s. They’re selected for inclusion by our team of seasoned journalists, who sign pledges to defend their objectivity and integrity. Our authors visit the attractions, hotels, restaurants, shops and nightspots they recommend so that they can give the most authentic advice based on impartial, first-hand expertise.

Frommers.com is an extension of our world-famous guidebooks. Each week it's updated with candid, timely news and features written by our career experts. On Frommers.com, you can read excerpts from our past guidebooks or purchase copies of our current bookstore titles (in both paper and digital form) or buy reliable travel products and services from our carefully vetted booking partners, many of whom have been working with us for years. Up your travel game with additional insights and commentary from Frommers.com's daily social media accounts or by subscribing to its popular newsletters and podcasts.
