Cities represent civilization & human achievement: they are bubbling microcosms of virtues & vices vanguards of technology & creative pursuits incubators of traditions & melting pots of diversity. More than half the worlds population now lives in cities & for travelers they hold an endless fascination. Every city has its own personality in the form of its streets & buildings & in its human architecture. Taking our cue from the buzz on the street we have captured the flavor of each city through the eyes of the typical citizen: hot conversation topics urban myths the best places to eat & rink & to seek out after dark. Its a tempting cocktail for the urban adventurer.
