We Love City by Cano Estudio

Spanish designers Cano Estudio have created We Love City, a range of city guides that fit on postcards.

The guides recommend hotels, sights, shops, restaurants and bars for visitors on short trips. Produced for different cities at particular times, they feature details of current events and things not to miss that are specific to that period; the example shown here is We Love Venice, produced to coincide with La Biennale di Venezia 2009.

Upcoming guides include Paris Classic, Paris 2009, London and Berlin. The front of each guide features a photograph of the sky, taken in the relevant location.
