1,000 Places to See Before You Die

The world is calling. Time to answer. The world's wonders, continent by continent: a trek through Morocco's Atlas Mountains, Sri Lanka's Hill Country, a sunrise balloon safari over the Masai Mara, Canyon de Chelly, the sacred festivals of Bhutan, the Amalfi Coast, and sailing the Mekong River. In all, 1,000 places guaranteed to give travelers the shivers: sacred ruins, coral reefs, hilltop villages, deserted beaches, wine trails, hidden islands, opera houses, wildlife preserves, castles, museums, and more. Each entry tells why it's essential to visit and includes hotels, restaurants, and festivals to check out. Then come the completely updated details: prices and best times to visit.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die is the world's bestselling travel book and a number one New York Times bestseller. It reinvented the idea of a travel book as both a wish list and a practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it "tells you what's beautiful, what's fun, and what's just unforgettable everywhere on earth." The second edition includes 600 full-color photographs and over 200 entirely new entries, along with more suggestions for places to stay, restaurants to visit, and festivals to check out. Along with starred restaurants and historic hotels, you'll also find moderately priced gems that don't compromise on atmosphere or charm.
