 somewhat disappointed November 3, 2007
11 out of 16 found this review helpful
I bought this book believing it would give guidance on the best places to go each month during the best weather offered at that location. The book has lots of pretty pictures and lots of suggestions, but fails to really tell me anything. So if you would like a coffee table book this might be fine. I wanted specific suggestions concerning where to go in good weather and this book doesn't do it.

"Where to Go When" is a gorgeous coffee-table book with lots of photos, plus practical information on the best times of year to visit a wide variety of sites around the world. It's arranged by month and is less about which hotel to book than about interesting things to do when you reach your destination. Travelers may not know that Peru's seasons are the reverse of those in the United States or that winter is the best time to go to India or Egypt because the summers are miserably hot. After seeing the photos of Tibet, I'm ready to pack my bags! This isn't a standard travel guide, but it's worth seeing for the wonderful photos and sometimes quirky details about destinations.

Most travel guides tell you what to see, but not when. Knowing the important cultural events of a country or region makes a trip memorable. Equally significant to me as a photographer are the weather and seasonal conditions. Rainy seasons, extreme heat, days of overcast need to be considered when I travel. I especially like to know when flowers are blooming. The notes in the margin make a quick study of learning the basic facts regarding getting there, getting around, accommodations, eating, and prices for two people. The excellent photographs are well-chosen. Just when I think I don't need another travel book, this one is published. It's a beautiful and useful book and would make a great gift for someone who enjoys travel.
