Best Day On Earth (Rough Guides Main Series)

Best Day on Earth is the definitive photographic guide to the world's most unforgettable travel experiences, from sunrise until after dark.

A unique "one day around the world" format gives a global snapshot of extraordinary moments taking place simultaneously, from climbers reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and street food vendors setting up their stalls along the Mekong River in Laos, to sumo wrestlers hunkering down in Japan and the neon lights of the Strip firing into life in Las Vegas.

More than 160 stunning images showcase the very best of Rough Guides' extensive travel photography and are accompanied by illuminating writing from our award-winning team of travel experts. Each experience is pinpointed on a world map so that you can pack your backpack, book a ticket, and have your very own Best Day on Earth.

Rough Guides are written by expert authors who are passionate about both writing and travel. They have detailed knowledge of the areas they write about—having either traveled extensively or lived there—and their expertise shines through on every page. It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides.
