There's lots of info on buildings I've walked past and wondered about, including whether the public is allowed in or not. And also lots of buildings I haven't noticed - yet! The sections on suggested walks, good restaurants located in the buildings, and the kind of shops located within the buildings are intriguing. I want to remember to get an ebook copy before our next visit.
