From Austin to Bogota, Vienna to Wellington, discover the best day
and weekend trips within three hours of 60 of Lonely Planet's
favourite cities. With sights, activities and hidden gems - all
built around themes like art & culture, the outdoors, and food
& drink - you'll find amazing ideas for your next city escape
or long stopover, as well as new experiences to enjoy near where
you live. Most of the 60 cities in this book could fill a lifetime
with new experiences, but a short journey by either train, bus or
car opens a world beyond to explore. In Three Hours From we hope to
inspire you to look beyond the city limits for your next adventure.
Whether you're in Delhi, Vancouver, Brisbane or Rome, and whether
you live there, work there, are on vacation or are simply passing
through with a day to kill, we encourage you to widen your net.
Just an hour and 40 minutes from Cape Town you can spy breaching
whales from the cliff path at Hermanus; within two hours of
Manhattan you can be surfing at Rockaway Beach; and near B?ij?ng
you can choose between rafting a scenic gorge, visiting Jin-era
temples or hiking along the Great Wall. Each of the 60 cities is
presented with a map of the surrounding area, pinpointed with up to
18 of the most exciting things to do within three hours travel
time. These are colour-coded by theme so you can easily find what
you're interested in - be that outdoor pursuits, arts and culture,
history, festivals and events, film and music, or food and drink.
Special sections include Africa's best beach towns, Japan's best
onsen retreats, the best food & drink tours in North America,
Europe's finest off-the-beaten-track wineries, Oceania's most
fascinating indigenous experiences, and the top wildlife watching
destinations in Latin America. About Lonely Planet: Lonely Planet
