An enlightening and light-hearted exploration of 50 places around the world that you can’t – or maybe shouldn’t – visit.
This gift book is the guilt-free travel guide for the person who has been everywhere (or needs an excuse to stay on the couch), featuring a collection of 50 destinations from around the world that you can’t actually visit. Prolific traveler and guidebook author Trent Holden has compiled a selection of big and small experiences that you can only read about, handily compiled in one book.
From legal no-go zones like the Andaman Islands and Fort Knox, to sites of mystery like the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51 and Russia’s Metro 2, to places of human destruction, like Lake Karachay, Chernobyl and the Lascaux Caves, or ones where the danger is in the name, like Snake Island and Death Road. Each entry is filled with fascinating facts, historical context and illustrations to highlight some lesser-known and unreachable parts of the world.
So skip the packing, slip into some sweats and take up all the legroom you need to enjoy this informative and lighthearted take on travel.
