Great cities have always captured the popular imagination - from the souks of Marrakesh to the bustling streets of Tokyo, each one has a unique allure. Exploring urban locations from every continent, Dream Cities handpicks 50 of the most lively and beautiful cultural centres the planet has to offer. The history and sights of sprawling capitals - New York, London and Beijing - are covered alongside smaller, more relaxed cities - Edinburgh and St George's in Bermuda - in this exquisitely illustrated volume. Ever-expanding urban metropolises, such as chic Paris and hip Istanbul, are depicted through stunning colour photography, insightful narrative and up-to-date tips for visiting. Whether you want to plan an extended trip of a lifetime or be whisked away on a weekend city break, this book will give you all the inspiration you need.
