Go Here Instead: The Alternative Travel List

Product Information

Separated into various categories, the book has value, and I'm definitely going to add some of the destinations to my travel bucket list spreadsheet. Instead of going to Stonehenge where there’s massive crowds and you can’t get up close to the stones so instead goto Avebury a small village about 20 miles north to a much larger hedge that allows to to touch the stones and not fight everyone to see them.

Filled with expert advice, striking photography and detailed illustrations, our highly visual DK Eyewitness guides will get you closer to your next adventure. These are clear and look great as they are accompanied by basic information about the area, region or history. Overall a pretty good addition to your library if you want to be a little adventurous and check out some lesser-known wonders.

And while Japan's cherry blossoms are hard to beat, the seasonal display of hydrangeas in the Azores is just as beautiful. This book offers some interesting alternative ideas of places to visit if you want to avoid the overcrowded tourist destinations.

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. This serves as a great resource book for planning your bucket list, especially if you want to be able to go to places that are not so busy with other tourists.
