Synopsis
These striking new guides are so appealing that you won't be able to put them down--even after you've stopped traveling. Slender and light, they fit into your purse or pocket. The traveler gets a rich flavor of a city through 600 vibrant color photographs while being guided through the 400 best hotels, restaurants, shops, and cultural sights.
Each guide is divided into nine sections: Everything You Need to Know takes you into a given city and explains local transportation once you are there; Where to Stay lists 80 hotels with a wide range in price; Where to Eat includes everything from diners to four-star restaurants; After Dark shows you the clubs, discos, theaters, and concert halls; What to See guides the traveler from museums to cultural monuments and other places of interest; Further Afield provides 36 excursions just outside the city to historic houses, botanical gardens, zoos, or museums; and Where to Shop features 80 different boutiques, department stores, and markets. At the back are subway and bus routes and 10 double-page spreads of city Maps. Also included is the Business Reference Guide, with information for the business traveler on the city's stock exchange, major banks, business newspapers, television and radio stations, as well as a schedule of conventions.
The Knopf City Guide to Rio de Janeiro goes to the heart of the exotic and sensual city, clarifying its Latin rythms and its customs, its daily life, its night life. It takes you from a walk on the hot sands of Copacabana Beach to a night of Brazilian music at Canecao to a trip through the Botanical Gardens with its orchidarium to a stay at the Luxor Pousada--a small hotel just outside Rio in the 18th-century goldmining town of Ouro Preto, where you can visit glorious baroque churches--to the imperial summer palace at Petropolis, the mountain resort of a Brazilian emperor.
