The LP has much to recommend it. Here are the highlights:
-excellent maps with accurate scale and bilingual markers
-good breadth without sacrificing too much depth
-great for people who want to leave the tour groups and package tours behind (it's much cheaper to go solo!)
-a good selection of restaurants and hotels in different price ranges
-good descriptions of main attractions and how to get to them
-a pretty good language section with some of the survival words and phrases you will need

This book serves as an excellent tool of inspiration for traveling around the globe. With its beautiful full color pictures and easy-to-read layout, it was hard for me to put the book down. Lonely Planet does a great job of keeping their intelligent writing casual and intriguing. I would definitely recommend it to any reader interested in the wonders that the world has to offer! |

Blue List is more than just a book: here it's defined as a verb, 'to recommend a travel experience' - and what better publisher to do so than Lonely Planet which for years has been publishing independent traveler's guide to the byways of the world? Blue List uses the knowledge and experiences of the entire Lonely Planet community of authors, staff and travelers to provide a highlight of over 400 unique experiences around the world. Use Blue List as a guide: it's packed with color photos, maps, reviews of trends and global events, and insights on the 'best places' to go in each country. From things to take and see to 'defining experiences' unique to different regions, Blue List is the place to go for something different.
I truly was surprised how much information was available and delighted by the travel possibilities to places that I never thought of visiting.

This is actually two books in one. The first 97 pages is called "Things To Do" and contains top ten lists on various themes, such as "Best Places To See Wildlife" and "Best Beaches To Swing A Hammock". The lists make for a breezy and entertaining read. It's fun to find yourself either agreeing or disagreeing with the lists provided. I did discover some interesting new destinations. But most places I already knew about and nothing really popped out at me as an extraordinary new discovery. The second part of the book, over 200 pages, is called "Places To Go" and contains three page descriptions of various countries throughout the world deemed to be worthy of the "blue list" of best places to travel this year. I found this part of the book most useful and interesting, as it can serve as both a basic reference guide to the countries covered as well as an introduction to countries the reader is less familiar with.
I can't quite give this book "5 stars" as none of the book's travel recommendations really blew me away. But it is a pleasant read and might be useful to the curious person seeking out new travel ideas. |

Nicely designed travel book. It's better than 1000 Places to See Before you die. Interesting lists and nice layout. Pictures are from the Lonely Planet guides so it reads a little like an advertisement for the whole Lonely Planet series.
