1,000 Places to See Before You Die

The world is calling. Time to answer . . . An updated edition of the #1 New York Times–bestseller from "the travel expert who launched legions of bucket lists" (San Jose Mercury News).

This "irresistibly idiosyncratic" catalog of destinations (Chicago Tribune) is a continent-by-continent itinerary for the eager traveler: 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. Sailing the Mekong River. In all, one thousand places to give you 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 and restaurants from the luxurious to moderately priced gems, as well as festivals to check out. Then come the completely updated nuts and bolts: websites, phone numbers, prices, best times to visit.

1,000 Places reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. In the words of Newsweek, it "tells you what's beautiful, what's fun, and what's just unforgettable—everywhere on earth."
