LoveReading Says
At once inspirational and informative, with each entry covering practicalities such as the best time to visit, and how to get there, Lonely Planet’s The Joy of Quiet Places is a beautiful book to gift to the travellers in your life or, indeed, to gift to yourself if you’re looking for someplace special to visit in 2025, and beyond.
Setting out to “uplift and inspire”, in the words of the subtitle, here sixty locations across the globe are presented in the context of how they provide travellers with an altogether more serene experience, far from the madding crowds of over-touristed hotspots, and far from the madness of everyday life. Mindfulness and an invitation to travel slower runs through the inviting, scene-setting text, with stylish full-colour illustrations and photographs further enlivening every spread.
From walking in the footsteps of ancient warriors in Japan’s Iya Valley, and hiking moors in Wales’ Cambrian Mountains, to embracing silence in the High Arctic, and finding peace among Bonaire’s pristine reefs, each entry highlights what makes the destination special and ways to “find your joy” while there, with succinct Q&As from destination experts offering further insights.
