Introducing the Eighth Wonder of travel books, the New York
Times bestseller that's been hailed by CBS-TV as one of the
best books of the year and praised by Newsweek as the "book
that tells you what's beautiful, what's inspiring, what's
fun and what's just unforgettable everywhere on earth."
Packed with recommendations of the world's best places to
visit, on and off the beaten path, 1,000 PLACES TO SEE
BEFORE YOU DIE is a joyous, passionate gift for travelers,
an around-the-world, continent-by-continent listing of
beaches, museums, monuments, islands, inns, restaurants,
mountains, and more. There's Botswana's Okavango Delta, the
covered souks of Aleppo, the Tuscan hills surrounding San
Gimignano, Canyon de Chelly, the Hassler hotel in Rome,
Ipanema Beach, the backwaters of Kerala, Oaxaca's Saturday
market, the Buddhas of Borobudur, Ballybunion golf club-all
the places guaranteed to give you the shivers.
The prose is gorgeous, seizing on exactly what makes each
entry worthy of inclusion. And, following the romance, the
nuts and bolts: addresses, phone and fax numbers, web sites,
costs, and best times to visit.
