Paris, Edinburgh, Brussels and Amsterdam are all just an hour's flight from London, or, through the Channel Tunnel, a short train ride away. Cadogan's indispensable new-format guides go straight to the heart of what short-stay visitors need to know: major events, the crucial sights, the best places to shop, drink, eat and stay, and the havens behind the bustling streets. They feature cover flaps front and back and large-scale color city maps, including train, tram and metro maps.The capitals of Britain's oldest rival countries are brought harmoniously together -- for the first time! This will be an immensely popular book with the thousands of Americans who visit Edinburgh from London each year, often in search of family history, or with their curiosity aroused by the recent spate of publicity achieved by film Scots including Billy Connolly and Ewan MacGregor, and films such as Trainspotting.
