Go Here Instead: The Alternative Travel List

Product Information

In each case it offers an alternative to a popular destination with a brief summary as well as guidance on travel and direction to further resources, as well as often a handful of further potential alternatives, and even a short word if you're still set on seeing the more popular destination.

Another nice touch is that there is a little section for each location that tells you the best time of year to go to the over-visited locations if none of the alternatives fit your fancy. This title is organized by subjects including Ancient and Historical Sights; Festivals and Parties; Great Journeys; Architectural Marvels; Natural Wonders; Art and Culture, and Captivating Cities. If money is a concern but you like to read and dream, then this may fuel some fantasies of adventures not yet undertaken. Whether it's a holiday of a lifetime, exploring a new continent or a city break, step into your next adventure with DK Eyewitness travel books.And while Japan's cherry blossoms are hard to beat, the seasonal display of hydrangeas in the Azores is just as beautiful. It treats readers to rich details and a visual symphony of sights that will have you rethinking your entire travel bucket list!

These are clear and look great as they are accompanied by basic information about the area, region or history. DK Eyewitness' highly visual guides show you what others only tell you, with easy-to-read maps, tips and tours to inform and enrich your trip. While I may not have a passport I do have a bucket list of places I would like to see if money were no object. This book offers some interesting alternative ideas of places to visit if you want to avoid the overcrowded tourist destinations. We've organized the book by types of trip, so whether you're a wannabe art critic, an outdoor adventurer or you're into your history, this epic bucket list has an alternative adventure for you.This book is made for those of us who want to see all the fascinating things around the globe, it’s also for those of us who enjoy armchair travel and it’s also for those of us who don’t need to every famous place because we hate crowds spending too much money or can’t travel to every destination. This bucket list of amazing places off the tourist trail will have you itching for your next adventure. For that reason, this is better used in planning trips than finding an alternative that is local to where you are already planning to travel. As a consummate traveler (100 countries and counting), I was delighted with this beautifully illustrated book of travel alternatives. And if this is something you would like, also think about Tulips in Turkey or Wild Rhododendrons in Nepal.
