With the world unlocked and travel now a thing again, Lonely Planet has released a new range of pocket-sized guides for the savvy traveller. Or, just anyone who needs a bit of friendly reminding of how to travel and see the world again.
Called the Lonely Planet Experience series, it’s a range of guides for various global cities, led by local experts with on-the-ground perspectives. The series help travellers uncover new ways to get away from the everyday. Filled with unforgettable experiences and interesting local surprises, travellers can ‘dip in and dip out’ to experience travel with a difference.
The new Experience Guides are designed for today’s traveller and are based on research that identified what travellers want –being able to guide their own trip, being surprised with fresh takes on well-known places and being able to connect with their destination through authentic, memorable experiences.
Taking you from pre-trip to post-trip with all the handy must-knows and dos along the way, these guides unlock the ability to be the master of any trip overseas, putting the power of local’s knowledge into your hand – all without the pesky need for data roaming and incessant Googling or visits to peer review pages.

29 new destinations will also be launched throughout 2022 including world regions, cities, and countries.
