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

Vacuous and without purpose
If your life revolves around shopping and cocktails, and you want pages of photographs of hotel rooms, and endless enthusiastic gushing about where the trendy places are, then this is the guide for you.

If you want a guide that gives you a feeling for the culture, people and history of Copenhagen, then this guide cannot do that. If you want something so basic as a decent map, then it can't do that either.

The blurb for this book says "... the ultimate combination of form and function"; alas this is all form and no function. A chilling foretaste of a time (if it hasn't already arrived) where there are no distinctive places in the world any more, only more shopping opportunities and "exciting" designer hotels. Avoid.
