Lonely Planet's Experience guides are not your traditional guidebooks.

We've done away with pages of listings, opening hours and phone numbers that are better checked online. Inside this book is a curated collection of unforgettable experiences, so you can create a unique trip that suits your interests and fits your schedule.

On these pages we introduce you to local experts, surprise you with things you hadn't thought of and offer fresh perspectives on the well-known sights.
