From the Publisher:

Each title in the Orient Express Travel Series is designed to express the elegance and culture of its exceptional city destination. The gorgeous photography offers images to inspire and treasure, and this visual feast is matched with a narrative that imparts true insider knowledge: that special place to eat; the best and most exclusive shopping and entertainment; museums and churches that are a must; places that offer courses on painting, antiques, and cooking. Featured sections include: a City Introduction; Architectural Treasures; Cultural Delights; Retail Indulgence; Gourmet Pleasures; Seasonal Highlights; After Dark; as well as special features, including quotes from famous figures associated with the city, their favorite haunts, and their contributions to culture. Both informed companions and exquisite mementoes, these are ideal books for the discerning traveler.
