Monocle reports from around the globe. 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 The Monocle Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to readers in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets. Designed to be compact and collectible, these books go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure visitors get the best out of a city – no matter how short their stay. The guides are also discerning: they will not list a hundred places to eat, but they will focus on what is best for any occasion. Review: A+ guide for tourists who dislike tourist - We had a wonderful trip in Kyoto using almost exclusively the Monocle Guide and especially following the walking tours. The recommendations included many spots away from tourists we wouldn't have stumbled upon. We had a particular good time at the jazz bar Lush Life, chatting with the owners - see picture attached. Review: Very interesting book - Very interesting book

Skip this book
Badly designed and poorly thought thru. Go get another guide book to the very interesting city. Monocle - you need to rethink this book, not up to your standards.

Quirky
As with all that Monocle publish, this is accomplished and value for money.

Great Series
A slightly alternative type of travel book. It showcases many special places, focusses on art, design, food and includes a few pages of essays and articles where writers describe their personal experiences. There's 36 in the series at this moment. Collect them all and begin your bucket list of places to go.

This book was an amazing asset on my trip to Kyoto. Great finds and wonderful off the beaten path places that are recommended. A must read for those travelling to Kyoto!

Bon guide surtout pour le détail mais il ne faut pas oublier l’essentiel et surtout les plans d’acces qui sont très mal faits
Très bon guide , dommage que les plans des villes et des attractions temples etc soient aussi mal faites et très peu pratiques , vous prenez toujours les visites insolites par le petit chat de l'aiguille
