Building on the legacy of the original Wallpaper* City Guides – an 80-strong series first launched in 2006 – the new Travel Guides return in 2026 with Milan, London, New York City and Paris. Each edition is curated by a Wallpaper* writer based in the city, offering a distinctly local, insider perspective on four of the world’s most culturally dynamic and design-forward destinations.
From vibrant neighbourhoods and standout cafés and restaurants to striking architecture, distinctive retail, and exceptional hotels, each pocket-sized guide presents a carefully curated selection of content.
Bill Prince, Editor-in-Chief of Wallpaper* commented: “Wallpaper* Travel Guides have always offered a distinctive perspective on the world’s most exciting places. “As Wallpaper* celebrates our 30th anniversary, it’s a fitting moment to reintroduce a product that reflects the values to which we have always adhered – a focus on quality, a global perspective, and an appreciation of the finer details that make a destination truly memorable.”
To mark the relaunch, Wallpaper* will also have a presence at Milan Design Week, bringing the spirit of the guides into the city through a dedicated kiosk activation.
Wallpaper* has also partnered with Fiat to brand four Topolino cars in the colours of the new Travel Guides, which will be visible across Milan throughout the week.
The brand has commissioned Milanese design studio NM3 to create a series of furniture to complement the books, including a trio of benches and a book display crafted from zinc-plated iron panels in the studio’s distinctive, minimalist style.
All four guides retail at £15 / €20 and are published by Wallpaper*. They are available globally via selected retailers and online at wallpaper.com.
