Dotto’s Tiny Guides: beautifully designed little peeks at lovely places

Created by Manchester-based design studio Dotto, these teeny-weeny city guides are a seriously cute way to get some travel tips.

Written By:
Four circular city guides by Dotto featuring typographic designs for Copenhagen, Zurich, Berlin and Amsterdam on beermat-style cards

Each limited edition guide features a typographic design inspired by the shapes and colours found in each city – Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen and Zurich – letterpressed onto a circular, beermat-style card.

The reverse recommends four places to visit – places of interest, restaurants and cafes in some of the most up-and-coming, vibrant parts of each city – Amsterdam’s quirky Oud-West; Berlin’s fashionable Prenzlauer Berg; artsy, industrial Kreis 5 in Zurich, and the buzzy district of Vesterbro in Copenhagen.

The small but perfectly formed Tiny Guides are available individually or as a set of four from studiodotto.com.
