From the people who have been delivering trustworthy guidebooks to every destination in the world for 40 years, Lonely Planet''s 50 Bars To Blow Your Mind handpicks the world''s most extraordinary drinking holes, from caverns and island party havens to a bar nestled in an ancient tree trunk.
This pocket-sized gift book showcases 50 of the world''s best bars and is the perfect gift for anyone interested in the best places in the world for a drink. Whether they boast a jaw-dropping location, world-class artisan cocktails or effortless cool, these bars are among the best places on the planet to enjoy a drink or two.
How have we whittled down this list? Some bars have earned their spot by playing up their obvious assets, whether it''s an interesting urban location or a stunning natural setting. Others are champions of the basics, be they cocktails or single liquors, while still others do something dramatically unusual or fun; some are so quirky it''s impossible not to marvel over a custom-made cocktail. But perhaps the secret sauce in all this is genuine desire to delight each person who walks through the door. It''s a love of hospitality and an enthusiasm for the precious drop.
Whether you''re a fan of barefoot, surfside imbibing or you prefer sophisticated cocktails in stylish surrounds, it''s time to plan your list. Cheers, salut, bottoms up. See you at the bar.

From the people who''ve been delivering trustworthy guidebooks to every destination in the world for 40 years, Lonely Planet''s 50 Festivals To Blow Your Mind will make your next trip an unforgettable one.
There''s something about festivals. Whether it''s a giant, joyous party or a respectful honouring of tradition, a seemingly bizarre adherence to ritual or a celebration of a quirky obsession - a festival is a uniquely human thing to be involved in. We get together to dance, sing, eat, laugh, drink, dress up, light fires, take our clothes off, throw tomatoes at each other, roll around in mud - festivals are life-affirming and take our desire to have a good time with friends and family to a global level.Contents:All action Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta - USA Argungu Fishing Festival - Nigeria Holi - India and Nepal Las Bolas de Fuego - El Salvador Rouketopolemos (Rocket War) - Greece Saidai-ji Eyo Hadaka Matsuri - Japan Songkran Water Festival - Thailand Art and culture AgitAgueda Art Festival - Portugal Edinburgh Fringe Festival - UK Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival - China South by Southwest - USA Sundance Film Festival - USA White Nights Festival - Russia World Body Painting Festival - Austria Calm and tranquil Floating Lantern Festival - Hawaii The International Highline Meeting Festival - Italy Pingxi Lantern Festival - Taiwan Foodie Bordeaux Fete le Vin - France MAD Symposium - Denmark Maine Lobster Festival - USA Oktoberfest - Germany South Beach Food and Wine Festival - USA Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival - UK Just one big party Amsterdam Gay Pride/Europride - The Netherlands Burning Man - USA Carnevale - Italy Carnival - Brazil Chinese New Year - Singapore Feast of San Jeronimo - Nicaragua Mardi Gras - USA St Patrick''s Day - Ireland Up Helly Aa Fire Festival - Scotland Music Coachella - USA Glastonbury Festival - UK Montreal International Jazz Festival - Canada Rhythm and Vines - New Zealand Roskilde Music Festival - Denmark Sonar - Spain Splendour in the Grass - Australia WOMADelaide - Australia Off the wall Air Guitar World Championships - Finland Boryeong Mud Festival - South Korea Buso Festival - Hungary Dia de los Muertos - Mexico Ivrea Orange Festival - Italy Kanamara Matsuri Festival - Japan La Tomatina - Spain Thaipusam Festival - Malaysia UFO Festival - USA Wife Carrying Festival - Finland

From the people who''ve been delivering trustworthy guidebooks to every destination in the world for 40 years, Lonely Planet''s 50 Places to Stay To Blow Your Mind will make your next trip an unforgettable one.
From glass igloos in Finnish Lapland, to wooden spheres suspended in Canadian treetops; from geodesic domes in the Patagonian wilderness, to old-school opulence at New York''s Plaza Hotel - these are the ultimate in overnight experiences. Not every place is a budget buster; sometimes it''s about the spectacular locations, like the gravity-defying Bivacco Gervasutti on Mont Blanc. There are places that literally disappear into their surroundings like the Mirrorcube in Haradsand others that stand tall and command attention like the Frank Gehry-designed Hotel Marques de Riscal.
We''ve only included a place if it gives us a thrill, makes us catch our breath and inspires us to see the world through different eyes. We hope they motivate you to go on a journey to a new destination.
With this pocket-sized gift book showcasing 50 of the most luxurious, extraordinary and spectacular accommodation offerings around the world, even sleeping will be an adventure on your next trip.
