1,000 Places to See Before You Die, the second edition: Completely Revised and Updated with Over 200

A must have book for any travel enthusiastic person

Sehr informatives Buch über die schönsten, interessantesten und sehenswertesten Orte dieser Welt. Dabei ist er Inhalt nach Kontinenten sortiert, dann wiederum nach Land, was die Suche ungemein erleichtert. Schleierhaft erscheint mir nur, warum unter all den Sehenswürdigkeiten das britische Überseegebiet auf der iberischen halbinsel Gibraltar, eines der ungewöhnlichsten und interessantesten Orte dieser Welt nicht aufgeführt wird.

libro veramente molto molto bello e dettagliato, racchiude per ogni luogo del mondo i posti più caratteristici da visitare, è un libro da sfogliare e guardare per passare il tempo

初版と、アメリカ・カナダ編の２冊は白黒写真で読みにくかったが、第２版の今回はカラー写真となり、取り上げられている名所の風景が目に飛び込んでくるのでとても読みやすくなりました。
