Reading
A travel guidebook company has released its list of the best places on Earth to visit. It is the Lonely Planet’s “Ultimate Travel List”. It ranks 500 of the must-see places to add to your bucket list. It is only the second time this list of unmissable travel experiences has been issued. The guidebook company said its guide is, “designed to be a companion to your armchair travels or the tool to refuel your wanderlust“. It added that the book, “features more than 200 new destinations in a picture-perfect wish-list, each ranked in order of brilliance.” Lonely Planet said: “The list contains a mix of knock-out new openings, sights that have upped their game, or places more relevant to the way we travel now.”
