Unforgettable Journeys

More about the book

Discover the joys of slow travel. It's the journey, not the destination, so the saying goes, and what better way to see the world than by moving through it. Set off on an epic bike ride along the ancient Silk Road, jump aboard the opulent Orient Express, take a road trip on the legendary Pacific Highway - these are once-in-a-lifetime adventures that will stay with you forever. Featuring over 200 once-in-a-lifetime adventures, Unforgettable Journeys is a vibrant celebration of taking the scenic route. We've picked the world's best adventures, from cruising around Alaska and Antarctica to train journeys in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Of course, the big-hitters are covered - riding the Orient Express, driving Route 66 and walking the Camino de Santiago - but we also take you off-the-beaten path, cycling around Botswana, kayaking through Finnish lakeland and scaling the cirques of La Réunion on foot. We've organized the book by types of transport, so whether you're an avid hiker, cyclist or driver, or love to be on the water or on the rails, we've got you covered.
