Love the cityguides! I didn't know about many of the places you mention in Bs As so thanx for that. I'll go someday in the week.
It's an excellent site!
awesome articles on your top 5's ...
I am so much looking forward to seeing what new places you dig up (and even hope that you would do a Copenhagen one - for hometown inspiration).
