Where To Go When

For each month of the year, this lavishly illustrated trip planner presents 30 recommendations of destinations that are at their best during that time, whether due to their climate or value or because there's a lot going on. The suggestions feature every flavour of travel experience, from culture-rich city breaks and tropical beach holidays to adventurous road trips and wildlife-watching expeditions. Every corner of the planet is covered so you'll find out when the best time to see mountain gorillas is or to go shopping in Paris. At the start of each chapter, a flowchart guides you through the options so readers can filter the recommendations according to their interests. Whether you're into beaches, trying the local specialities, or backpacking off the beaten path, there will suggestions for you. Diagrams also depict the climate, value for money, and family friendliness of each suggestion. Then Lonely Planet's authors explain in detail why each destination has been selected.
