Brilliant book - some really great ideas to go visit instead of the 'normal' tourist traps (and often overhyped destinations! This book is made for those of us who want to see all the fascinating things around the globe, it’s also for those of us who enjoy armchair travel and it’s also for those of us who don’t need to every famous place because we hate crowds spending too much money or can’t travel to every destination. The hardcover presentation is nice and it's still a good size so as to not be unwieldy if you wanted to take it with you.

I read each chapter heading (such as Ancient and Historical Sights or Captivating Cities) which listed the famous, well-known sites and what the book was suggesting as an alternative. This book offers some interesting alternative ideas of places to visit if you want to avoid the overcrowded tourist destinations. One aspect that could be seen as a positive or a negative is that the alternatives are not necessarily local to the "original" - they may be in another country or even on another continent.
