Description:	Subtitled 'The High Heel tour', this one covers the most paintings with the least amount of walking. Visit some of Europe's most beautiful paintings hanging in one of London's prettiest areas, and if you're quick you might be able to fit in a quick drink before you head back to work. Every Londoner knows that Covent Garden + summer = tourist hell. But the streets around Seven Dials are largely free from street performers, coach parties and middle-aged men in Bermuda shorts. This tour is worth doing as much for the shopping as the amazing paintings, and when you've had your fill of old masters, new designers and shoe shops, check out Canela on Earlham Street for a Portuguese custard tart, Food for Thought (Neal Street) for great veggie meals, or hit The Crown in Seven Dials for a good old fashioned pint.

Description:	The ultimate culture tour, this walk takes you through Theatreland, Chinatown and Soho. From flowers to flesh and fighting to fields these attention grabbing paintings take centre stage. If you have the time, this tour is the perfect excuse to hit Chinatown for sustenance. The choice is huge and everyone has a favourite, but old timer The Golden Dragon is hard to beat. If you're looking for a more liquid lunch, De Hems on Macclesfield Street will be hard to beat, followed up with strong a coffee and the world's most famous bunch of Sunflowers from Caffé Nero on Frith Street.

If you're really pulling out all the stops, then work your tour around one of the top romantic hotspots you'll pass on the way. For the sweetest afternoon tea in town take a little detour near Bronzino's 'An allegory with Venus and Cupid' and pop into Maison Bertaux, or if you're taking your tour in the twilight hours share a bowl of slurpy noodles at Wagamama's on Lexington Street.

Description:	This tour does exactly what it says by taking you straight to the big guns. Taking in da Vinci, Gainsborough, Rubens, Boticelli and Van Gogh (among others), it's a real 'who's who' of European painting. These guys have got a lot to compete with, because you'll find most of them hanging around the bright lights and tempting window displays of Carnaby Street and Covent Garden. If it all gets too much for you pop into The Shaston Arms on Ganton Street for a quick stiffener, or check out one of Covent Garden's newest kids on the block, Progreso, for an ethical cuppa downstairs in the Thomas Neal Centre.

Description:	Weegee, the famed crime and street photographer, shot thousands of images that defined Manhattan as a film noir nightscape in the 1930s and '40s. ON the north side of Broome Street, between the Bowery and Elizabeth Street, you can stand where a dead guy once lay. Of course in New York City you can stand on lots of spots where dead people once lay. There are, after all, “eight million stories in the naked city,” as the narrator of “The Naked City,” the 1948 film noir classic, intoned. But as Andrew Izzo sprawled on this sidewalk on the Lower East Side in 1942, Arthur Fellig, one of the city’s most famous photographers, took his picture. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/arts/design/20expl.html

Description: "Flushing is a place where immigrants from around the world have been coming for more than 350 years. It has always been a cradle of cultural and religious freedom.---IT was slow going on the thronged sidewalks of downtown Flushing, Queens, one recent spring afternoon, in the heart of its huge and bustling Asian community. Along Main and Union Streets many of the signs and the conversations are in Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese. A street vendor blasted Chinese pop music. At a sidewalk counter you can buy Peking duck to go. I passed under the wide window of a tea shop where high school kids sat people-watching and text-messaging as they sipped bubble tea, the sweet Chinese tea with pearls of tapioca in it. At a Chinese grocery tiny grandmas elbowed me aside, the better to haggle with the grocers over vegetables and fruit." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/02/arts/02expl.html

Description: SINCE 1766 St. Paul's Chapel at Broadway and Vesey Street has been one of the best-known and most revered landmarks in Lower Manhattan, associated with events from George Washington's inauguration in 1789 to the destruction of the World Trade Center just behind it in 2001. For almost a quarter of a century in the 1800s it shared the intersection with another extremely popular, and not altogether welcome, landmark. Opposite the church, in more ways than one, was P. T. Barnum's American Museum. Today New Yorkers may think of Phineas Taylor Barnum only when the circus comes to town. But for almost 60 years he was one of the most celebrated figures in the city. He entertained and amused tens of millions here. When he died in 1891, The Washington Post called him "the most widely known American that ever lived." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/09/arts/09expl.html

Description: Praguers were ahead of their time in embracing Mozart, the man who would soon become one of the world's most important and revered composers.. While they were busy giving him raucous applause, the rest of the world, including residents of his native Salzberg, were denigrating, or worse, simply ignoring, him. The funeral mass held for him in Prague had 400 times the number of attendees than his funeral in Vienna. And today no one can find his body, as he was buried in an unmarked grave in Austria. Enough said. Join us for the Rough Guides iToors Podcast of Prague as we walk in Mozart's shoes. Highlights include: * Sites connected to the family that helped seal the bond between the Mozart and the Golden City. * Conjuring the ghosts of two of the greatest minds of the twentieth century as you visit the site where "Albert Einstein played violin here while hanging out with Franz Kafka"—as the plaque boasts. * The theater where Don Giovanni was premiered and the legend of this famous opera's overture. * The clock that keeps the town from disaster. And of course, drinking lots of Pilsner…

Description: In comparison to today's outrageous art world, where shock value generates the most hype, the famed French Impressionists like Manet, Monet, and Degas may seem like stodgy old traditionalists. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Drawing from bestselling author, Ross King's new book 'The Judgment of Paris,' this iToor gives you a window into 19th century Paris art, when painting ordinary life, setting up easels in the outdoors and using broad brushstrokes were considered radical acts. Ross King sets the context for this art world revolution as you walk the bridges where Renoir painted, follow in the footsteps of Degas and discover how Manet's work caused the future of art to shift from tradition to rebellion. Highlights include: * Discovering how Impressionism earned its name * Visiting the Musee D'Orsay and & viewing the birthplaces of the paintings housed there * Finding out why Renoir was always looking over his shoulder

Description: Hemingway once observed that if you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, it stays with you for the rest of your life, for Paris is a moveable feast. The novelist - who penned most of his first book, The Sun Also Rises, while nursing cups of coffee at a café table on the boulevard du Montparnasse - was just one of dozens of ex-pat writers, poets and literary refugees drawn to the French capital at some point in their careers, either for an apprenticeship, or a lifetime. On this iToor, we'll thumb through the pages of Paris' literary past, pausing long enough here and there to sample a bit of that moveable feast for ourselves. Highlights of this iToor include: * Meeting proprietor and founder of Shakespeare & Company bookstore (George Whitman) * Sitting in the gardens where Hemingway hunted "big game" for dinner * Sharing your insights with Picasso, Hemingway, Alice B Toklas and other literary and artistic luminaries at Gertrude Stein's salon * Visiting the site where Hemingway helped Fitzgerald measure his manhood. * Discovering another Da Vinci code church

Description: Everyone loves an out of the box thinker, especially posthumously. Though Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a Scottish architect, designer and artist, is hailed for spearheading the art deco movement, he had little success in his lifetime. Mackintosh, along with the rest of his comrades, known as "the four" and including his wife, Margaret Macdonald, are held largely responsible for the Glaswegian style. Drawing on the English arts and crafts movement, Mackintosh set the stage in Glasgow for art noveau. His designs are beautiful examples of early modernism, and have been celebrated and replicated throughout the cosmopolitan city. This iToor will introduce you to the work and life of one of the most innovative and notable architects of the twentieth century. Highlights include: * Visiting almost everything he designed in Glasgow that is still standing. * Seeing The Lighthouse Building, Mackintosh's first public commission and home of the "Mack" center. * Going to the Glasgow School of Art, where "the four" first met, and which is considered one of the most influential structures of the twentieth century.
