Everyone has that one achingly cool friend who seems to always find the most gorgeous, ‘in the know’ places to stay, eat and enjoy the city when they go on holiday. If you’re not fortunate enough to have one of these types of friends, or if you simply can’t be bothered to do the legwork yourself when planning your next European city break, then The Considered Guide travel books are for you. Currently, the collection includes city guides on: Lisbon, Marrakech, Amsterdam, Dublin and Milan, all trendy destinations in their own right, each oozing with its own unique wow factor. I recently came across their city guides for Lisbon and Portugal, so I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite picks that they’ve selected for each city.
