For Example how they do it. Instead of going to Stonehenge where there’s massive crowds and you can’t get up close to the stones so instead goto Avebury a small village about 20 miles north to a much larger hedge that allows to to touch the stones and not fight everyone to see them. 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.

A beautifully designed gift book that showcases inspiring alternatives to the world's most popular sights, experiences and destinations Architectural and Historical Sights, Festivals and Parties, Great Journeys, Architectural Marvels, Natural Wonders, Art and Culture and Cities This review was originally published on NetGalley.com. I was given an ebook freely by NetGalley and the book’s publisher in return for a voluntary and honest review.

From these two examples, you can see that not all the alternatives are in the same country. Now for some who are planning visits to certain countries, I could see this being a bit annoying, but for me, it makes it really interesting. It is showing me other places that have similar features, conditions, terrains or architecture.I love the concept of the book. For example, everyone has heard of the spectacular cherry blossoms in Japan, but you may want to consider seeing hydrangeas in the Azores (Portugal) instead. Go Here Instead provides a mini globe with the location of the suggested destination. But if you have your heart set on Japan, you might want to consider a smaller city than Tokyo. If you are going to Portugal, it suggests airports and a couple tips for planning your trip. And if this is something you would like, also think about Tulips in Turkey or Wild Rhododendrons in Nepal.
