Cities in detail

We spend time getting to know the cities and more importantly those who live there to discover the spots, which your Big Ben enthusiast would never find…the best eateries, the finest places to stay and of course the stylish places to shop - strictly those places that our writers feel passionately about.

Each featured city has sections on Places to Stay, Places to Eat, Places to See and Places to Shop. Our ‘Top Choices’ are independent, objective recommendations, based on the personal experiences of our writers.

Also read our Insider's Guides to London, Paris and Amsterdam in our Travel Features section.
