Unlike many traditional travel guides, LUXE City Guides keep it short and sweet – no unnecessary waffle, just the facts about the places you are going to want to visit. Packaged up in a neat, pocket-sized concertina format, a quick flick of your thumb will uncover a wealth of local secrets and insider tips. Well established with cities throughout Asia, Europe and North America, the LUXE list of destinations has just gained a new region – South America.

Launching with Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil, the guides give curious travellers the lowdown on the best hotels, restaurants, bars and more, as well as a number of tourist attractions and activities – all suggested by a team of regular South American dwellers. Rio de Janeiro’s guide looks beyond the city’s famed beaches and iconic landmarks to uncover its fledgling modern art and design scene, incredible restaurant culture and natural attractions. For its sister city São Paulo, LUXE weaves through the concrete jungle to find hidden street art, local after-hours dance dens and high-end boutiques.
