Lonely Planet's newest release, Offbeat, shows you how to avoid the crowds and discover 100 exciting, under the radar alternatives to the world's busiest places.
Visit locations that are often overshadowed by their more popular cousins such as Braga in Portugal, Ohrid in North Macedonia, Ipoh in Malaysia, Taranaki in New Zealand and Palm Island in Australia.
Discover places that are easier to access than you think like Northeast Iceland, Tobago and Kyrgyzstan.
Visit regions and countries that really need tourists where your spending will benefit the local community.
This book inspires readers to take the road less travelled and discover incredible experiences in under-the-radar destinations.
Find astonishing Roman ruins in Algeria, enjoy the wine culture in the Moselle Valley in Luxembourg and the relaxed cosmopolitan vibe of Lyon in France. Explore Morocco's gorgeous yet much overlooked “white city” of Tetouan or find out all about Ontario's “black history” where the infamous underground railway led many enslaved people to Canada.
Looking for more?
Sample new adventures in California's Lost Sierra, Japan's Shikoku region or the Stewart Island/Rakiura in New Zealand. Chill out on Tobago in the Caribbean, visit the Coburg Peninsula in the Northern Territory or Ericeira's beaches in Portugal. Embark on extraordinary urban adventures in the canal city of Delft, the US town of Buffalo or Tartu in Estonia. Dive into the food and drink of Milwaukee, Shropshire in England or Luxembourg's wine trail.
It's all there to unearth and experience with fresh eyes.
Divided into continents, each entry includes first-time tips, practical travel information to start the planning process, amazing crowd-free experiences, plus unique insights from local voices.
Chris Zeiher, Senior Director Trade Sales & Marketing for Lonely Planet Publications, comments: “As the world embraces travel again, we know people are looking for crowd-free, under-the-radar alternatives to popular tourism mainstays. Offbeat presents 100 detailed options for travellers to consider whether it's lesser-known National Parks in North America, gorgeous yet surprisingly less frequented cities across Europe, or islands off Australia and New Zealand that remain relatively crowd-free. I've already added a stack of these suggestions to my travel list."
