Great Cities of the World

What is it about some cities that make them memorable? These are the cities that have great variety or have something special that no other city has.
From the hustle and bustle of New York, where the world meets, to the living history of London, the combination of the old and the new in Delhi or the commercial hubbub of Fes’ medinas, Russ Ferrett takes you on a tour through the Great Cities of the World.
