Capital Cities Europe

Capital Cities Europe by Monaco Books. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9783899446227.

This fascinating journey through Europes capitals reveals the common ground that unites them - and the differences that make them unique. It explores the ancient glories of Athens and Rome, where Western civilization was born, exciting global metropolises like Paris and Moscow, and the smaller capitals such as Stockholm, Riga, Dublin or Sofia - known for their fine architecture, rich culture or urban style. It also travels to places like Bratislava and Ljubljana, the capitals of recently independent countries, as they proudly embrace their new roles. Lavishly illustrated, this book celebrates each of Europes capitals, from Amsterdam to Zagreb; a gazetteer provides fascinating facts and essential information.
