The definitive guide for the world’s most stylish travellers just received an even more stylish upgrade
The Louis Vuitton City Guide is back for 2026 and with Bodrum, Marbella, Portofino and Taormina on the itinerary, this is the only travel companion worth packing.
When it comes to the “who, what, when, where?” travel questions, the “who” in question has been Louis Vuitton since 1998. That’s because that was when the House released its first City Guide with the answers to all the other questions. Every year since then, the Louis Vuitton City Guide has been the loyal companion for the world’s most stylish upmarket travellers, and the 2026 edition might be the most fabulous yet.
This year, the portfolio comes in a compact illustrated format, compiled by the greatest illustrators and travel writers from Bodrum to Taormina. It’s kind of a Bible for those who love luxury travel, including the kind of hidden gems and stylish spots neither TikTok nor your local travel agent have access to.
This year, the guide covers Bodrum, Marbella, Portofino and Taormina, with insight from sailor Fatih Baş, gallerist Isolina Arbulu, architect Clara Bona and artist Alessandro Florio. With multidisciplinary knowledge, each of these cultural purveyors gives a unique perspective on these hotspot destinations, so you know exactly where to shop, what to eat and where to stay.
The colourful guide includes artwork by Blexbolex, Brice Postma Uzel, Aline Zalko and Audrey Spiry, and is compact enough to take with you on your travels, but worthy of a space on your favourite coffee table. For those more digitally-minded, there’s a handy version available on the App Store, the only downside is you’ll miss the collectible luggage tags tucked away in the book’s back pocket. The Louis Vuitton City Guide drops 19 June, so keep an eye out on the LV website for how to get your hands on one.
