Interpretation During Books 1,000 Places to See Before You Die

Around the World, continent by continent, here is the best the world has to offer: 1,000 places guaranteed to give travelers the shivers. Sacred ruins, grand hotels, wildlife preserves, hilltop villages, snack shacks, castles, festivals, reefs, restaurants, cathedrals, hidden islands, opera houses, museums, and more. Each entry tells exactly why it's essential to visit. Then come the nuts and bolts: addresses, websites, phone and fax numbers, best times to visit. Stop dreaming and get going.

This hefty volume reminds vacationers that hot tourist spots are small percentage of what's worth seeing out there. A quick sampling: Venice's Cipriani Hotel; California's Monterey Peninsula; the Lewis and Clark Trail in Oregon; the Great Wall of China; Robert Louis Stevenson's home in Western Samoa; and the Alhambra in Andalusia, Spain. Veteran travel guide writer Schultz divides the book geographically, presenting a little less than a page on each location. Each entry lists exactly where to find the spot (e.g. Moorea is located "12 miles/19 km northwest of Tahiti; 10 minutes by air, 1 hour by boat") and when to go (e.g., if you want to check out The Complete Fly Fisher hotel in Montana, "May and Sept.-Oct. offer productive angling in a solitary setting"). This is an excellent resource for the intrepid traveler.

This is quite the book. It goes into a summary description with useful information about each of the 1,000 places. It's a book to dream by and then go out and explore -- thus turning the written words into reality and finally memory. Love it! I hope I can keep exploring this book and places for many years to come.

3.5 stars.This is really only one person's preferences and interests. Although I may not agree with or be interested in seeing all the places listed, I still think it does provide some solid information to those places that I may want to visit. A number of reviewers also commented on the expensive accommodation and restaurants, but again I think that's the author's prerogative and reader's choice. If you can afford it, then why not?Note: review is based on the revised 2nd edition.

I won this is as my free book from my library's summer reading program two summers ago. I didn't as much read the entire book as I skimmed it over with my mother who actually travels quite a bit. Her rating would be three stars because of the 1000 places many are not your usual can't miss travel stops. In fact many are actually places most travelers wouldn't necessarily go to. Of the 1000 she has been to about 50. She did stop at the place near Jackson, Mississippi on a road trip thanks to a tip

What can I say about this?I'm still working on it! ;-PHmm... And I probably should count how many places I already visited. Review to be continued. *lol*One day... some day? In the near or far future? Who knows? _(ツ)_/

This is my go to book for any travel at all - whether I'm going somewhere for work or personal travel. I team this up with a Lonely Planet country guide and jobs a good 'un. Honest about whats a 'must see' - the hotels and a bit aspirational for my budget though.

This is beautiful book full of fascinating information. I downgraded my rating only because Big Bend National Park should have replaced one of the entries for Texas. While you may not agree with all of the selections, you are sure to find places you would not have considered had you not read this book.
