Rough Guides welcomes four more world-class cities into the new Pocket series. Each small-format, full-color city guide is the ideal companion for independent travelers on any budget. Pocket Rough Guides serve up all the key sights and best restaurants, shopping, and bars with Rough Guides' trademark eloquence and honesty.
Whether you have an afternoon or a few days at your disposal, Pocket Rough Guides help the curious experience all they can. Divided by area for easy navigation, the Places section is the heart of the guides, with neighborhood-by-neighborhood descriptions complemented by listings of the must-see sights and our pick of the places to eat, drink, and dance.
Each Pocket Rough Guide also includes a "Best of" section that captures the highlights of the city and tips travelers off to the most exciting and unique experiences. Carefully curated Itineraries help plan - and personalize - any trip, making the most of every moment. And, with the full-color detachable map tucked in the back cover, you can even ditch the guide and go stealth for an afternoon.
