Hello, fellow travelers!
A great foundational city travel guide should convince you to make the trip, inspire you to experience the things that compel you, challenge you to consider new options, and help you to make the most of your visit. It's not the only planning resource, but it can be decisive. And that's the space in which Iconic Cities resides.


A select collection of cities around the world - like New York, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and London - offer great urban spaces and places full of history, culture, and excitement. We deem them to be “iconic,” and they truly are. But we usually don’t stop to wonder what actually makes them iconic. The Iconic Cities series goes beyond traditional guidebooks and social media by inviting you to (re)discover the character, history, architecture, and must-visit attractions in these cities to understand what makes them so worthy of this designation.
Iconic Cities guides offer a unique take on major destinations and experiences. They share essential, contextual history and core ideas along with stunning photography to encourage visitors to notice large and small details that most people miss entirely. Iconic Cities will inspire you to plan your next travel adventures, and they are also beautiful gift items for like-minded family and friends.
