About this title

From the Back Cover:

Just a short train ride apart, these two European capital cities are bursting with history and vitality. This indispensable guide will help you make the most of your visit - whether you are staying for a day, a weekend or longer - and goes straight to the heart of what you need to know, picking out the crucial sights, and revealing tranquil secrets behind the bustling streets: graceful architecture, glorious art, fine cuisine, quirky museums and exclusive shopping. There are sections on city "villages" each with its own character and atmosphere; green, stately parks for relaxing in after a hard day's sightseeing; and plenty of practical information on getting around, attractions for children, markets, nightlife and entertainment.
Inside you will find: practical travel advice: to and between the cities; 185 hand-picked hotels; over 400 restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes; 25 street maps, area by area; city parks for sunny days, and a host of museums for when the rain falls; markets and shopping by area, and the top theater, dance, music and nightlife.

He currently resides in Los Angeles and is the author of Cadogan's London guide.
