About

Urban Weekend Guide is for people who want to spend time in a city without turning every free day into a checklist. We cover walks, public places, arts and culture, food stops and the choices that make a weekend plan feel manageable.

A city at a human pace

Our subjects begin with ordinary ways of being in a city: walking a few streets with purpose, sitting in a public place, visiting an exhibition or choosing one food stop. We favour ideas that can be adapted to different places and budgets, without pretending every reader has the same timetable or interests.

Plans with room to change

We explain options and trade-offs rather than prescribe a perfect itinerary. A useful plan has a clear starting point, a reason to go and enough open space to pause, change direction or head home early.

Who it is for

The publication is for curious city-dwellers and visitors who want to make thoughtful use of a weekend. You do not need specialist knowledge, a packed schedule or a particular way of travelling to use the ideas.
