FT Weekend Hidden Cities uses the extensive global network of FT reporters to show readers the places to drink, dine and explore the most influential cities across the globe, taking readers beyond the conventional choices. FT journalists who know the cities intimately share their address books, alongside tips from experts and tastemakers whose opinions count. The series has been supported by Google technology, using the power of Google Maps to bring the locations to life.
