Product Description

"Wallpaper City Guides" not only suggest where to stay, eat, and drink, but what the tourist passionate about design might want to see, whether he/she has a week or 24 hours in the city. Featured are up and coming areas, landmark buildings in an 'Architour', design centres, and the best shops to buy items unique to that city. "Wallpaper City Guides" present travellers with a fast-track ticket to the chosen location. The edited guides offer the best, most exciting, and the most beautiful of that particular city. As well as looking beautiful, the guides are expertly designed with function as a priority, and have tabbed sections so that the tourist can easily find what they are looking for. There are maps, rate and currency cards, colour-coded parts of the city, and an easy navigational tool. They are the ultimate combination of form and function.

Customer Reviews

Aspirational guidebook of little practical use
I wonder how many books Wallpaper sell that are never used other than to adorn style-conscious dentists' waiting rooms. This book is certainly of no practical use for a visitor to Paris, and contains very few destinations that one might actually seek out. Unfortunately the photography and design layout is not as radical as the block-coloured binding suggests, so not much to recommend.

Not bad for aspirational spots
I recently bought the quide for my forthcoming visit to Paris. I checked the info with on-line websites regarding hip spots in Paris and I believe its useful. Not bad.
