Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Guidebook to Prague

German term or phrase: Serviceteil

At the end of the guide book there is a section with info and advice on restaurants, tipping, taxis, public transport, car hire, children's activities etc etc. This is headed "Serviceteil". The best I can come up with at the moment is "General Information". Is anybody feeling inspired, or is there a usual term for such a section? Thanks!

Explanation:
Your suggestion (general) 'Information' is not bad either. Lonely planet uses 'Information' for Discount cards, Internet access, Left luggage, Medical Services, Post, Tourist Information etc. etc.
