Cities that stay with you

A way into the collection

One neighbourhood at a time

A city cannot be reduced to its skyline. The great view is a beginning, but a neighbourhood walk, a museum room or an unexpected square can become the memory that lasts. These entries make room for cities whose layers deserve to be explored together.

Resist the temptation to join every famous landmark into a single exhausting day. Group your plans by neighbourhood, book the few places that need advance arrangements and leave some time between them. A useful base can matter as much as another sight on the itinerary.
