What is the most beautiful place in the world? To find out, Lonely Planet started by compiling a list of all the must-sees mentioned in the guides, then asked members of its community to vote for their 20 favorite sites. The complete results will be published on October 13 in the form of a Top 500 of the best destinations in the world, with for each entry, the attractions of the site which justified this selection. From world-famous sites to more confidential destinations, this guide is an ideal travel catalog, and a great gift for any adventurer at heart!
