Review: Must have for the well rounded traveler - The almost 400 page book is a delight for anybody who has the travel bug and loves discovering new places. Each city is described as I would call it, let's say with Bangkok... "Bangkok in a nutshell". The most important things you need to know or see in this city are listed. Some cities get more pages than others but all of them are paired with beautiful photographs which tickle your Wanderlust. For me this is my "go to" book when I want to see a first glimpse of a new city. Makes a nice present too. Review: Full of great information and ideas! - This has been a great book to share with my kids for family trip ideas and with my friends for our annual girls trip 🎉
