In this second edition of Where to Go When, Lonely Planet once again answers the perennial question of the traveller - where is the best place to visit during every season of the year?

Fully updated with new content and covering every corner of the globe, it presents 25 recommendations of destinations that are at their best during each month, whether due to their climate, or value or because there’s a lot going on.

The suggestions feature every flavour of travel experience from culture-rich city breaks and tropical beach holidays to adventurous road trips and wildlife-watching expeditions.

The book is organised by month. At the start of each chapter a flowchart guides you through the options so readers can filter the recommendations according to their interests. Whether you’re into beaches, trying the local specialities or backpacking off the beaten path, there will be suggestions for you. Diagrams also depict the climate, value for money and family friendliness of each suggestion in the month.
