Berlin is a city of two halves - the chic West and the alternative, unbearably hip East. If there's one city that never sleeps it's Berlin, however, the action can prove somewhat elusive and this guide steers the reader from the style conscious bars to the underground clubs. A city of constant uprising, endless innovation and unpredictable change hardly fits the bill as head of a traditionally conservative and straight-laced nation.

Today the historical centre is more vibrant than ever as visitors from around the world pour into the city to visit the sights. However, Prague is much more than a collection of monuments, once out of the centre, Czech life is centered around rich Bohemian food, crisp Moravian wines and traditional Czech Pilsner. In recent years the city has taken on a more cosmopolitan flavour and with its introduction into Europe Prague has become the gateway to the East. Our second edition has delved deeper into the real Prague, since our first was released three years ago much has changed.

Luckily Buenos Aires is not all about football and tango. Currently the toast of South America, Argentina's capital has seen unprecedented growth and development since the economic crash of 2002. Urban renewal has led to the gentrification of the city's seedier barrios transforming artisan's workshops into cutting-edge restaurants, chic shops and the hippest of hotels. The recent opening of small, design focused hotels such as Home and Bobo have attracted as much interest as Phillippe Starck's offering the Faena Hotel and Universe. Buenos Aires is stylish, the elegantly sophisticated portenas know how to shop and the streets of Palermo Viejo, the city's hippest barrio, are littered with cutting edge Argentine fashion and design led restaurants/bars. Beyond the look, locals possess almost unfathomable levels of stamina and are often to be found partying into the morning sunlight on a weekday night. Photographed Charles Froggatt.
