I really like this book. My husband and I have traveled quite extensively and are always looking for help/ideas of where to go next. Has great photos and mini descriptions to help you narrow down your next trip. Also makes a great coffee book, wish I could go everywhere the book recommends!!
SMORGASBORD OF THE SENSES January 27, 2008

This is a must for anyone who loves to travel or even to just read about it. There are so many wonderful places to explore through this amazing book. It has a great set up as each section is divided by the month. Each month lists 30 locations, in which 11 of them are written in detail. For each of the 11 featured locations, the book has a write up, an itinerary, and dos and don'ts. Furthermore, each location also includes: Getting There, Getting Around, Weather, Accomodations, Eating Out and Price for Two. Included for each place is a website listed for additional information. Spectacular photos too! A smorgasbord of the senses!
A Luxury Item January 13, 2008

This book is perfect - the photos, the information, the details, the broad range of places covers - everything combines to make this a wonderful addition to your travel collection. Unfortunately, the only thing against this book is its size; it's an oversized book, best suited to a coffee table or tall bookshelf. The idea of the book is to present the best places to travel each month of the year, mainly based on weather patterns and festivals. There is a 2-page spread devoted to each place, and 12 places are visited in each of the months, so you have 144 destinations covered within the book. The travel information (such as where to stay and opening times of historic places) will be outdated fast, but the photos, weather, and `tips' that are offered will remain the same. So, the book does have viability for a quite a while. Basically, this is a wonderful around-the-world travel book and will open your eyes to new destinations that perhaps you'll want to visit. The best part, for me, was the itinerary listed for each of the destinations; often, I will have trouble determining how many days I need to visit a place, but this book gives you a very good idea of that.

This book is so enchanting with all its beautiful photography! Really gives you insight into the places to go around the globe. I've looked at it over and over and still see new things and learn about the areas. Great to help you choose your destinations.
 where to go, yes, when? not! December 27, 2007

It's a very pretty book with gorgeous pictures, that's what caught my attention to begin with. But it didn't live up to its title for `where to go when'. I think it would be more useful if it's `where to go when and why'. People go places for different reasons, some for the good weather, some for the festivals and special events, and some for the budget. Disregard those considerations, the book became useless for planning a trip. Kauai for example, is listed under October, but was given no reasons why. Anyone who lived in Hawaii knows you can visit Hawaii just about all year around for its good weather. Although winter can be wet, but it offers the biggest waves for surfing. Best whale watching time is February and March. Camping and kayaking to Kalalau beach is only safe or possible in July and August (I can be sure the beautiful Kalalau valley and beach picture wasn't taken in October), in fact September and October is typhoon season. So why October? When weather is mild in most part of the world, it's obviously not suitable for family travel since schools have started, cheaper plane tickets? The book didn't say anything! I looked up places I have visited before and don't think I'd visit them for the time being recommended in the book either. 7 stars for a coffee table book, 1 star for travel planning book.
