If money is no object and you are looking for inspiration this book may be perfect for you to decide on your next trip. As a consummate traveler (100 countries and counting), I was delighted with this beautifully illustrated book of travel alternatives. Broken down into Ancient and Historical Sights, Festivals and Parties, Great Journeys, Architectural Marvels, Natural Wonders, Art and Culture, and Captivating Cities, the book lists commonly visited events/locations and provides at least one (sometimes up to four) alternatives that give the same vibe, along with pictures and a description of what about the alternative site ties in with the "original".

And while Japan's cherry blossoms are hard to beat, the seasonal display of hydrangeas in the Azores is just as beautiful. Overall a pretty good addition to your library if you want to be a little adventurous and check out some lesser-known wonders. DK Eyewitness travel guides have been helping travellers to make the most of their breaks since 1993. One aspect that could be seen as a positive or a negative is that the alternatives are not necessarily local to the "original" - they may be in another country or even on another continent.

I read each chapter heading (such as Ancient and Historical Sights or Captivating Cities) which listed the famous, well-known sites and what the book was suggesting as an alternative. A fantastic self-proclaimed “alternative bucket list” featuring breathtaking photography and descriptions of alternatives to the most popular tourist destinations across the world. In accordance with The Post Office, the last recommended date for Christmas posting is 18th December (2nd Class) and 20th December (First class). 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. There is some of that, but there wasn't a lot of detail, and many of the ideas just weren't appealing to me (personal taste).
