This exciting series focuses on the vitality and uniqueness of the world's greatest cities. Each volume is superbly designed and produced, yet ingeniously practical, with lavish photography, easy-to-read maps, and informed and enjoyable texts.

From offbeat cafés and cutting-edge restaurants to the most stylish stores, hotels, and neighborhoods, StyleCity uncovers all the special places where both locals and discerning travelers can find a vibrant and idiosyncratic urban experience. The guides are divided into two sections: "Style Traveler" identifies the most memorable places to sleep, eat, drink, shop, and relax; "Street Wise" divides the city into neighborhoods and provides convenient area maps.

Bridging Asia and Europe with a largely Muslim culture but a secular system of government, Istanbul exudes exoticism and modernity, romance and splendor.With Turkey moving ever closer to joining the European Union, Istanbul has become a magnet for talents from across the Middle East and Europe. StyleCity Istanbul revels in this new creative dynamism, from its glorious Turkish baths and coffeehouses to its artisanal shops, from its trendy rooftop bars and traditional restaurants to its lesser-known cultural hotspots and mosques.
