Description: These compact and fact-filled guides to major cities around the world are beautiful and easy to use. With more than 600 color photographs -- more than any other guide in this size -- these books combine the inside information of an Access or Gault-Millau guide, the practical information of a Michelin or Rough Guide - about where to stay and eat and what to see -- in a seductive highly portable volume.

Each guide is divided into seven sections with brief, lively entries: "Arriving and Getting Around" points up the way of getting into a city and then once you are there, the most efficient local transportation; 49 entries in "Where to Stay" cover a wide range of hotels with the necessary information about price and accomodation; 62 restaurants are listed in "Where to Eat"; jazz clubs, theater, night clubs, and other after-hour places are among the 35 entries in "After Dark"; 71 museums, monuments, and architectural sites are included in "What to See"; "Further Afield" takes you on 17 excursions out of the city but in the vicinity; "Browsing and Shopping" which guides you to 44 specialty and department stores as well as flea markets and tells you what they have to offer. In the map section in the back are 6 double-page spreads of the city area by area with dots corresponding to all the entries in the guidebook.

This book will guide you through Miami and the popular South Beach area, to stay at such state-of-the-art hotels as the Delano or The Tides or more modest, cozy spots like The Mermaid Guest House; the always crowded Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant and Nemo with its Eastern accent are among the many restaurants; you can dance at the celebrity-filled Bush club or on the tables onBrazilian night at Mangois Tropical Cafe or take in one of Miami's oldest bars, The Club Deuce; among the best sights are is the Art Deco district, the Miami Seaquarium and Parrot Jungle where there are more than 1,100 species of parrot. This is a city of shops and malls and don't miss the Bayside Marketplace, Books and Books -- a European-style bookstore and The House of Dolls.

Each Guide takes you fearlessly and efficiently into the heart and culture of the city. Smart, incisive, sharp and sleek, these guides are as practical as they are beautiful.
