Editorial Reviews

Review

“Get ready to add to your bucket list every time you turn the page of this aspirational travel book. Because it’s from National Geographic, you know the photos are breathtaking. The cover alone, with its awe-inspiring image of a historic guesthouse built on a cliff in the Swiss Alps, will have you packing your bag. This is the perfect book to leave on your table as a conversation piece and a place to turn whenever you need a little something to look forward to when we can travel again. Price: $40” –Forbes.com

"This breathtaking, 320-page volume, published by National Geographic, contains 250 exquisite color photographs that will either inspire you to see the world or at least give you the opportunity to become the quintessential armchair traveler. It features hundreds of locales around the world, both natural and man-made, including ancient monoliths, scenic islands, white-sand seashores and rain forests. Images taken by some of the world’s premier photographers are accompanied by practical travel information for visitors to each place, including dining and lodging options."—The Wall Street Journal

"The world's most desirable holiday destinations—in pictures."—Theguardian.com

Did not dislike it, it make a beautiful present for Christmas and the person I gave it picks it up every week and reads about the picture he is looking at. It has fantastic pictures in it, places that all of us would like to see in person, my friend who I gave it to will never be able to see these places because of his heart condition, COPD, and diabetes, but he enjoys this book so much.

I gave this to my son-in-law. He and my daughter get a number of incredible trips each year through his work. There are always other company people on these trips, which they still enjoy. I did include a note with this book, though, that this was to help them plan an incredible trip just for the two of them. They seemed to love that idea.
Would recommend this book. It is beautiful and informative.

I love this book. We got it for our niece for Christmas as she is interested in travel. Flipping through it has some really gorgeous pictures and helpful information about the locations, some many people would not even think to see or visit.
