It may also fill in the blanks for more experienced solo travelers....The Solo Travel Handbook will help you to design your best adventure ever. Read it and go!--Foreword Reviews If you have a travel junkie who is ready to set sails solo, they'll want to flip through this first.--My Life's a Travel Movie Traveling by yourself can be exhilarating and daunting all at the same time, but this guidebook helps take away some of your worries and concerns while properly preparing you.

Lonely Planet's Global Beer Tour (Hardcover) (Lonely Planet Food)
Dimensions (Overall): 8.4 Inches (H) x 6.6 Inch (W) x 1 Inch (D)Weight: 1.65 PoundsNumber of Pages: 267Genre: Travel, Cooking + Food + WineSub-Genre: Food, Lodging & TransportationSeries Title: Lonely PlanetFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Lonely PlanetAuthor: Lonely Planet FoodAge Range: AdultLanguage: English About the Book Explore the vibrant world of craft beer. We've selected some of the finest tap rooms, bars and breweries that travellers can visit in over 30 countries across five continents. Meet the brewers, discover their tastiest beverages and create complete trips with our recommended itineraries. There's a world of great beer to taste - go and discover it! Book Synopsis Explore the vibrant world of craft beer with Lonely Planet Global Beer Tour. We've selected some of the finest tap rooms, bars and breweries that thirsty travellers can visit in 30 countries around the world. Discover how to find them, which beers to sample, and learn about local places of interest with our recommended itineraries. Each country is introduced by a beer expert and includes regional beverages that shouldn't be missed. There's a world of great beer to taste - go and discover it! So why go beer touring, especially when it's easy and cheap to find interesting craft beers in your local shop? Firstly, craft beer doesn't travel too well and is affected by changes in temperature and long distances. And secondly, due to the explosion in small-scale breweries, many great beers aren't distributed outside their city or region. Beer often tastes better the closer it is to home, especially if that's straight from a tap in the actual brewery. The craft beer revolution has seen waves of breweries open up to the public, not just in the United States, the UK and Australia, where the trend is well established, but all over the world. Visit European beer capitals like Belgium, Italy and Germany, and sample local favourites in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Asia, explore hotspots in Japan, Vietnam and China, then venture to South America, Africa and the Middle East. Each brewery is accompanied by a selection of sightseeing ideas and activities, from local museums and galleries, to great hikes or bike rides. The book also features fun sections on beer trails, hangover cures and the world's wildest beers. There's also practical advice like how to ask for a beer in the local language and the ideal snacks to accompany your drink.

Lonely Planet enables the curious to experience the world fully and to truly get to the heart of the places they find themselves, near or far from home.TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 winner in Favorite Travel Guide category 'Lonely Planet guides are, quite simply, like no other.' - New York Times 'Lonely Planet. It's on everyone's bookshelves, it's in every traveller's hands. It's on mobile phones. It's on the Internet. It's everywhere, and it's telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.' - Fairfax Media (Australia) Review Quotes There are handsome color photographs on nearly every page, images of towns and landscapes, with numerous shots of the breweries themselves, also pubs, bars, people, and, of course, many photos of bottles and glasses of beer.... Each brewery listing includes a sidebar called "Things to Do Nearby." This is a common bit of layout design for guides of this type, and Global Beer Tour contains dozens of such destinations--both obscure and well known. In fact, I found myself page-marking a few of the suggested sites, thereby creating a sort of accidental world tour to complement the book's liquid attractions.--Perceptive Travel Who better than Lonely Planet to guide and inspire us on where best to fill one's beer glass? Be it beer beginner or beer geek the pages in this guide (and your cup) will runneth over.--Julia Herz, Publisher, CraftBeer.com A truly excellent publication ... This wondrous book is an essential guide to some of the world's best craft breweries...--Gold Coast Sun As an enthusiastic traveler, I enjoy paging through this book. It takes you on a tour of the world through a craft beer drinker's eyes, with breweries and bars to visit in such places as Canada, Belgium, Japan, Nepal and even North Korea. For every location the book also offers some things to do besides sitting on a barstool all day. This is a wonderful coffee table book and one I wish I would have written.--Lancaster Online As in Lonely Planet's way, the book contains lots of enticing photos...--The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald Because a lot of craft beers don't get distributed beyond their home cities or countries, the book offers advice on where to go to find local suds in destinations as far-flung as Ethiopia, Nepal and Iceland.--Associated Press Beer books can be a lot of things, but with so many of them, fun isn't the first thing that comes to mind. The beauty of Lonely Planet's Global Beer Tour is that in addition to being a useful and informative guide to the world's craft beer scene, it never forgets to entertain... this colorful guide showcases beer's most essential and exotic locations. And it does it in a manner that's always conversational, like hostel travelers sharing insider tips in out of the way beer hangouts.--American Craft Beer For the travel-hungry, Lonely Planet's Global Beer Tour walks the reader through the best places to find the beer in 30 countries, spanning five continents. Information includes curated travel trails, unique beers, food pairings and more.--Imbibe Magazine Should spark the appropriate wanderlust...more of a read at home than toss in your backpack for an adventure book, but it highlights that good beer can be found wherever you are.--All About Beer Takes the guesswork out of visiting breweries in far-flung places...so travelers can focus on what matters: the exhilaration of discovering delicious beer in its birthplace.--Kate Bernot, Draft Magazine Without much risk of spilling the glasses of brew at their sides, craft beer aficionados can visit the world's best breweries from the comfort of their armchairs--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Book Synopsis Featuring communist bunkers, burning gas craters and at least one sponge-rock fluorescent grotto built by Polish monks, this book reveals weird and wonderful sights the crowds don't reach. We've all heard of India's Taj Mahal, but what about Karna Mata Temple? It's a building teeming with rats so revered they enjoy A-list treatment with daily offerings of milk and fruit. It's no secret that visitors to Berlin can see parts of its infamous Wall still standing in the city. Not so many people know that segments of the wall have travelled all around the world and can be found in places including Los Angeles, Japan and Iceland. Stonehenge is one of the UK's most popular tourist sites. So why not beat the crowds and head to Nebraska instead, where you can marvel at a Carhenge - a replica of the great monolith site constructed entirely from vintage cars. This packed and fascinating title takes its readers on a journey through the world's lesser known marvels. Dive into an underworld of the planet's most surprising, fun, perplexing, kitsch and downright bizarre sights - and explore human stories and mysterious happenings that you won't find inside a regular guidebook. From eerie natural wonders to historical oddities and bizarre architecture, this is a travel companion for the incurably curious.

Far more captivating are the attractions that are bizarre, unexpected, unexplainable and unthinkable. It is the latter group that make up the bulk of Lonely Planet's Secret Marvels of the World (304 pages, $25), a bathroom reader packed with the planet's least likely features, both natural and made by humans. Editors have organized the 360 extraordinary places you never knew existed into individual sites (based on bands of longitude), as well as Top 10 lists -- top ossuaries, top micronations, top unsettling hotels (including Karosta Prison in Liepaja, Latvia, where guests are locked up) -- and a handful of itineraries that cover a group of marvels in a single region. (One unpredictable touch: black-and-white sketches throughout that add whimsy.) Readers learn something new with each page.--San Francisco Chronicle Satisfying for armchair travelers and seasoned explorers alike.--Library Journal
