Product Review
Thirty destinations are presented for each month, with 11 covered in depth. Tuscany, Italy, is recommended for October, when the grape and olive harvests take place, and when porcini mushrooms, prized truffles and other specialties appear on regional menus. The listing includes a six-day itinerary on the "Chianti Trail," from Florence to Siena. --USAToday.com
Reader Reviews"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.
