description: 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 or by air become more frequent and cheaper, short breaks and even day trips have competition. This updated edition includes new favorites, such as the London Eye and the revamped Pompidou Centre, 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 visitors only have 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, quarters, and city "villages"' where travelers 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.
