Best Day On Earth (Rough Guides)

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.

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.
