Don't let the economy hold you back from visiting Europe! Following on the success of Lonely Planet's award winning The Travel Book, comes The Europe Book, a focused celebration of the world's most culturally influential continent. This gorgeous hardcover book explores Europe in detail, making it the most comprehensive coffee-table book on this fascinating continent.
Europe is a smorgasbord of cultures, languages, cuisines, histories, art and architecture. However, look beyond the well-trodden museums and galleries and you'll find that Europe holds many unexpected cards up its sleeve. Where else might you find a wife-carrying competition, jump in and out of freezing water before being beaten by birch twigs, celebrate summer solstice in a prehistoric stone circle, or choose between sweltering beaches, semi desert, permafrost, glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs and the Arctic? Visions of extreme conditions, jaw-dropping spectacles or wild-west style antics may not feature in your warm and fuzzy daydreams of Europe, but look again and you'll see this superlative continent is surprisingly diverse.
