1000 places to see before you die (2003)

Desde lugares espirituales como Bagan, en Myanmar, hasta otros terrenales como el barrio comercial de Hong Kong; desde maravillas naturales como el Cañón del Colorado hasta otras como Petra, la legendaria ciudad perdida de Jordania, este libro reúne los tesoros más atractivos del mundo. Ruinas sagradas, grandes hoteles, castillos, festivales, restaurantes, catedrales, islas paradisíacas, museos... 1.000 sitios te explica lo esencial de aquello que tienes que ver y no te puedes perder

Das Buch ist zu amerikalastig und die Hotelempfehlungen richten sich an reiche US-Amerikaner, die anders reisen als die typischen Deutschen. Trotzdem eine nette Übersicht über mögliche Ziele. ( )

As someone who loves history and historic places and structures, I loved this book. ( )

A nonfiction travel diary concept book. Thus 974 page book is a must have for everyone and everybody.
You may not get to travel to these places because someone stole your funds to enrich themselves, but you can travel to them through this "travel destination "concept book".
The author Patricia Schultz has a career assisting people who travel as a writer for Frommer's Berlitz. This travel guide and reference material book has two destination article and at least one black and white photo on every page.
This is a great stocking stuffer, for all ages.
Just open to page 555 and there in a photo journal scrapbook form you will find YAP, THE DARLING OF MICRONESIA. Most of us do not believe we will ever travel to what appears to be a literary creation like the mythological Atlantis. However, Micronesia is a genuine place and a unique country of thousands of islands. YAP is where you go to swim with giant 1000 lb Manta Rays. Turn to page 470 and find THE BLUE VOYAGE of Bodrum and Marmaria of the Lycian Coast, Turkey to learn about the "Turkish Riviera". Turn to page 440 and find a Whirling Spectacle of Tradition in the PARO FESTIVAL of Paro Bhutan, and discover how Bhutan has ended isolation from the outside world and learn of the "tsechus" its colorful traditional festival. What a fascinating destination. Turn to learn how to truly be Bohemian and not a witchy
Bohemian wannabe of the USA's derivative imitation. Bohemia is in the Czech Republic and a living Bohemian village can be found in Cesky Krumlov where a genuine Bohemian town still operates. The book suggest really experiencing it in the off season. Do you know what the Hague is. Sure you have heard references to "The Hague" which is a metropolis in the Netherlands. It has a very popular destination called The North Sea Jazz Festival.
We have all heard in our crisis ridden world of the literal bomb attack on Christmas that happened in 2016.Turn to page 125 and find Christkindlmarkt located in Munich. I agree with the quote found on that page "Munich is a german dream translated into life" .. "during Advent...Bavaria turns into a three dimensional Christmas". Those of another religion did not enjoy Germans enjoying their culture and religion and blew holiday well wishers up. Sad, very sad.
If you don't want to cross the Atlantic, but want to experience German Austrian and Swiss Christmas, your strong dollar can be enjoyed in depressed Argentina . Turn to page 813 one of the many mountainous places I could have hidden away in. Bariloche In Argentina is where you can enjoy swiss and alpine chalets with austrian cuisine served up in this old world ski resort. The treasures in this book are never ending, and even planning an escape to one of these 1000 places, is an escape from this dreary place of lauded criminals we call the USA. ( )

This book was very informative. The pictures are great and the information is very helpful. I dont think they could have given someone with travel in mind any more information. This will be standard for all my trips in the future. I received this book in a giveaway, so thanks to the author or publisher... ( )
