Reisen abseits der bekannten Wege

Discover over 100 alternatives to the most popular travel destinations. The Colosseum in Rome, the Grand Canyon in the USA, or the cherry blossoms in Japan: there are vacation spots and attractions that everyone knows and wants to visit at least once. But how about the ancient amphitheater in Nîmes, the spectacular Fish River Canyon in Namibia, or the magnificent hydrangea blooms in the Azores instead? This unusual travel guide highlights alternative vacation spots and lesser-known travel experiences, presenting over 100 fascinating alternatives to the most famous landmarks and popular holiday destinations around the globe.

Unforgettable journeys off the beaten tourist paths. Fewer crowds, authentic encounters, supporting local communities – the travel alternatives and insider tips featured in the book offer numerous advantages over touristy destinations and overcrowded attractions. Let yourself be swept away by the grand atmosphere of the Carnival in Montevideo to avoid the throngs on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, or stroll along the canals of Annecy instead of taking a gondola ride through Venice: broaden your horizons, as our planet has more to offer than New York, Angkor Wat, and the Great Barrier Reef.

New destinations for your bucket list: alternatives to the mainstream. In seven thematic chapters, the travel book introduces more than 100 unforgettable alternative destinations and hidden gems around the world:
1. Historical Sites: Avebury instead of Stonehenge or Kourion instead of Pompeii
2. Festivals & Celebrations: Bonnaroo instead of Coachella or Carnival in Montevideo instead of Carnival in Rio
3. Routes & Travel Tours: Apolobamba Trek instead of the Inca Trail or Corsica's northwest coast instead of the Amalfi Coast
