]]>Learn About Language, Culture & History
Travel guides such as the Lonely Planet don’t just contain recommendations for accommodation, food, and activities. They are also packed full of fascinating and easily digestible information about the history, culture, customs, and language of your destination. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of the country you’re in, connect with locals, and have a more enriching experience.
Perfect for Internet-Free Travel
Perhaps you’re traveling somewhere where the internet is patchy, your roaming data has run out or you just fancy disconnecting from the world for a few days. Having a travel guide means you can carry heaps of useful information in your backpack, with no need to ask for the Wi-Fi password.
Bookshelf Travel Trophies
Building up a collection of guidebooks to display proudly on your bookshelf is a lovely visual reminder of your travel experiences. Plus, the guidebook itself can become an interactive record of your trip. Circle the places you’ve visited and loved, make notes and lend books to friends from your travel library to pass on the joy!

]]>Europe and the Holy Land
The book begins with Twain heading to Europe with a group of Americans who are set on exploring the world, and it ends in the Holy Land or what is now known as Israel. Along the way, he meets a variety of different characters who feature heavily in the book, and are described with great humor by Twain. What is perhaps most interesting, is the main theme in the novel—the clash between past and present.
This theme is very much relevant today, as the effects of colonialism and the politics in many countries are still very much entwined. If you want to read something that will transport you back in time, and make you laugh out loud, then this is the travelogue for you. You will quickly see why it is one of the best-selling travel books ever written.
