Book Description

September 15, 2006 Wallpaper City Guides
"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.

Review

'The answer to every short-breaker's dream. Small, perfectly formed - they fit into pockets of jeans or jackets - they contain almost everything one needs to know...The jewel-coloured guides look beautiful and are exquisitely designed. Even a geographically challenged dolt like me stands a chance of finding my way around Shanghai with the simple map at the back of the book.'

About the Author

Wallpaper* City Guides are compiled by the magazine's travel experts, both by in-house editors, and correspondents who actually live in the highlighted cities, providing up-to-the-minute information

2.0 out of 5 stars not worth it, January 5, 2007
This review is from: Wallpaper City Guide: Rio de Janeiro (Wallpaper City Guides) (Paperback)
just a bunch of pretty pictures with short descriptions. Maybe useful for a few restaurants to go to (like Garcia e Rodriguez for brunch). Other books are better.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the must-see places in Rio, October 12, 2009
By 
TN (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wallpaper City Guide: Rio de Janeiro (Wallpaper City Guides) (Paperback)
After traveling to Rio for 10 years and then living there from 2006-2007, I was amazed when I saw this guide. In a tiny book it contains all the must-see places in Rio. The hotel options are very high-end and so won't help the budget traveler, but if you want to know what sights to see this guide distills them down into only the most essential. I've reviewed the wallpaper guide for Buenos Aires as well and find the same to be true of it.
