Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the relationship between “the text of city” and the text of city guides (traditional, in the form of books; and electronic – professional and emerging en route, wandering through social media and mobile devices). The author uses a heuristic metaphor of the city as a maze and a palimpsest that is widely used in the current humanistic reflections on the city. It refers to the myth of Theseus and Ariadne: the former is considered a virtual figure, the latter is a viable form that holds the thread, the solution of the mysterious maze, and also its projection, which is a challenge for Theseus.
