Most U.S. visitors to Europe make a beeline for one or both of the continent's most celebrated cities, and as connections through the Channel Tunnel and by air become more frequent and cheaper, short breaks and even day trips are bcoming more popular. This updated version includes new favorites, such as London's Tate Modern and Paris's redeveloped canals, as well as classics such as Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. These two European capitals are full of history and culture, and buzz with street life. Graceful architecture, glorious art, exclusive shopping areas, and green, stately gardens are all compiled in an accessible, condensed format. The guide focuses on what short-stay visitors need to know, providing expert advice on major events, crucial sights, and the best places to shop, drink, eat, and stay. Even if the visitor only has a weekend, this essential guide goes straight to the heart of these historic but also vibrantly modern cities.
As well as the famous landmarks and attractions, Cadogan also offers insider tips on the havens behind the bustling streets and explores the most interesting neighborhoods, the quartiers, and city 'villages', where visitors can wander the streets and soak up the atmosphere. Cadogan's indispensable short-break guide helps them pack the most into every minute of their stay.

A journalist and travel writer, he has spent lengthy periods abroad as a foreign correspondent for The Guardian and The Independent. He currently resides in Los Angeles and is the author of Cadogan's London guide.
