A fascinating reference guide to 100 spectacular cities, from Delhi to Damascus, San Francisco to Sydney and Vancouver to Venice. Full of beautiful photographs, this volume is a tantalising invitation to travel to see these great cities first hand as well as being a great read and an essential family reference book. Cities are listed alphabetically, within four chapters: Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. There are feature panels with information on a well-known person, building, monument or festival, plus statistics and a history of the city and what it is like to live there now.
