The Monocle Travel Guide Series

Monocle reports from around the globe in print, on radio, and online. As its editors and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar. That information is now available in Monocle’s Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to you in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets.
 
Published by Gestalten, these travel guides are for people who want to get the most out of their stay—however short—and feel like locals rather than tourists. That’s why each book has a series of neighborhood walks to take you away from the throng and leave you with a sense of discovery even in cities that you have visited numerous times.
 
The series kicks off with London and New York in May to be swiftly followed by Hong Kong and Tokyo this summer. Cities are fun. Let’s explore.
