1000 Places to See Before You Die: a Traveler's Life List

"1000 мест, которые стоит увидеть, прежде чем умрешь" - это, действительно, внушительный список самых прекрасных райских уголков на нашей планете. Священные руины, заповедники, лучшие отели, деревеньки на холмах, закусочные, замки, фестивали, рифы, соборы, затерянные острова, оперные театры, музеи - в этой книге вы найдете все, о чем могли только мечтать! 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. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
