This box set contains five guides for the perfect beach holiday. It includes cities that combine the best of urban living with a fantastic location on the coast – Barcelona, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney – presented in a specially-designed box tied with a ribbon. Themed box sets are a new addition to the Wallpaper* City Guides series: as well as the World Cities Beach collection, three other box sets are also available, featuring Art Fairs, Business and Fashion cities respectively.

Wallpaper* City Guides present a tightly edited, discreetly packaged list of the best a location has to offer the design conscious traveller. Here is a precise, informative, insider’s checklist of all you need to know about the world’s most intoxicating cities.

Whether you are staying for 48 hours or five days, visiting for business or a vacation, we’ve done the hard work for you, from finding the best restaurants, bars and hotels (including which rooms to request) to the most extraordinary stores and sites, and the most enticing architecture and design. Wallpaper* City Guides enable you to come away from your trip, however brief, with a real taste of the city’s landscape and the satisfaction you’ve seen all that you should.

In short, these guides act as a passport to the best the world has to offer.
