Description
Time Out's guidebooks have long been favored by savvy travelers for their unerring ability to capture the heart and soul of a city. Its newest title shifts focus to feature 75 locales, from much-loved world capitals such as London, Paris, and New York to inspiring examples of urban achievement such as Shanghai, Brasilia, and Dubai. Chosen by Time Out's international network of contacts, each city is lavishly illustrated with full color photographs drawn from Time Out's unrivalled library and accompanied by texts from native writers expounding on the charms of their hometown. Along with the 75 city profiles, the book examines what makes a great city and includes the latest statistics on topics such as culture, growth, and power. As attractive as it is authoritative, "Time Out Cities" is a book for seasoned globetrotters, armchair travelers, and anyone who loves urban life.
