A new concept of city guides: Pocket-sized, tightly-edited, ruthlessly-researched, design-conscious and spot-on guides for the discerning travellor who wants a true taste of the best a city has to offer. Ideal for the weekend tourist, the business traveller, or if you have only 24 hours to discover a city.

Wallpaper* City Guides are compiled by the magazine's travel experts, both by in-house editors, and correspondents who actually live in the highlighted cities, providing up-to-the-minute information

'The answer to every short-breaker's dream. Small, perfectly formed - they fit into pockets of jeans or jackets - they contain almost everything one needs to know...The jewel-coloured guides look beautiful and are exquisitely designed. Even a geographically challenged dolt like me stands a chance of finding my way around Shanghai with the simple map at the back of the book.'
