World’s Best Travel Experiences: 400 Extraordinary Places, with a foreword by actor, director and travel writer Andrew McCarthy, showcases some of the most transformative places on Earth, from Bhutan to Bermuda, from the Sahara to the Stockholm Archipelago, and suggests unique, intriguing ways to experience them.

Sumptuously illustrated in full colour and covering destinations both near and far chosen by National Geographic travel editors and contributors, the book explains the special lure of each place by detailing its particular charm and appeal and its must-see attractions.

Sprinkled throughout the book are “Best of the Best” and “In the Know” sidebars that share interesting tidbits, tips, can’t-miss spots and insights from an insider’s perspective. The book also includes quotes and reminiscences by such luminaries as Anna Quindlen, Bill Bryson, Gore Vidal, Oliver Sacks and Jordan’s Queen Noor.

The book includes nearly two dozen “Best of the World” top-10 lists, profiling the best destinations for everything from romantic getaways and mountains to climb to volunteer animal rescue and unusual scuba-diving sites.

An evocative journey around the world, World’s Best Travel Experiences is the ultimate book for avid adventurers and armchair travellers alike. It’s the perfect way for readers to rekindle their favourite travel memories or to find that dream destination.
