  The Time, The Place is a travellers' guide to the most awe-inspiring experiences to be had on each day of the year around the world. Organized by date, 365 unmissable travel experiences are selected as being the ultimate places to be on specific days throughout the year. Each experience is accompanied by striking photography that evokes a very special time and place, while information boxes give transport, contact and timing details. Entries are drawn from a wide range of eclectic themes, such as culture, history, music, food, drink, wildlife and sheer entertainment, and dig deep into the author's extensive travel knowledge to describe innovative and fresh ideas that will inspire even the most jaded of travellers. The book also acts as a record of world events that will ensure the reader never misses an essential travel experience. Events include the best time to witness young king penguins taking their first swim in Antarctica, visiting the outlandish Festival of the Desert in Mali, watching the Northern Lights at their most vivid in Lapland and paying homage to the King in Memphis, Tennessee, on Elvis Day. All seven continents are well represented in the book.
