New city guides have been launched for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handsets.

Guides from Lonely Planet will be available for six cities - Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Paris, Prague and Rome offering audio, video, photography and written help around the biggest sights and secrets.

The Passport to series of guides will offer 250 reviews of bars, clubs and restaurants, maps and audio tours on the portable games console.

Simon Julian, product manager at Lonely Planet, said: 'Travellers today are looking for new ways to experience the places that they visit, guided by the opinions and expertise of authors who have an intimate knowledge of the destination.

'The new Passport to guides take the passion and knowledge of Lonely Planet's author-researched information, and extend it to a new type of interactive guidebook, designed to meet the evolving needs of technology-savvy travellers.'

Further features of the guides include suggested itineraries to suit a number of tastes, from those out to party to visitors more interested in the culture, and the ability to draw up one's own diary.
