This second edition takes readers to even more curious and unusual destinations, with more than 100 new places, dozens and dozens of new photographs, and two very special features: twelve city guides, covering Berlin, Budapest, Buenos Aires, Cairo, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Moscow, New York City, Paris, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Plus a foldout map with a dream itinerary for the ultimate around-the-world road trip. More a cabinet of curiosities than traditional guidebook, Atlas Obscura revels in the unexpected, the overlooked, the bizarre, and the mysterious. Here are natural wonders, like the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand, or a baobob tree in South Africa so large it has a pub inside where 15 people can sit and drink comfortably. Architectural marvels, including the M. C. Escher–like stepwells in India. Mind-boggling events, like the Baby-Jumping Festival in Spain—and no, it’s not the babies doing the jumping, but masked men dressed as devils who vault over rows of squirming infants. Every page gets to the very core of why humans want to travel in the first place: to be delighted and disoriented, uprooted from the familiar and amazed by the new. With its compelling descriptions, hundreds of photographs, surprising charts, maps for every region of the world, and new city guides, it is a book you can open anywhere and be transported. But proceed with caution: It’s almost impossible not to turn to the next entry, and the next, and the next. Review: So many cool things - So many cool things to read about. The book is organized by geographical region so it’s nice to look up some place you might be headed. There are truly some wild things to discover. Nice coffee table kind of book to have laying around and pick up every now and again to read a bit. Some things you read stay with you and you’re like really!?! Review: Fascinating! - A must read! Dozens of places I never knew existed, and this book is a revealing guide to them. The world is a far stranger and more wonderful place than I ever realized! You will love reading the Atlas Obscura! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,472 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in General Travel Reference #31 in Atlases (Books) #40 in Trivia & Fun Facts (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,408 Reviews | ## Images ![Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JKjOsVWcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So many cool things *by J***S on January 11, 2025* So many cool things to read about.

Like the original, best-selling Atlas Obscura book, this Second Edition is filled with incredible stories and stunning photos of some of the world's most remarkable places: the Boiling River, the Irish Sky Garden, the Harp Space gun, Skeleton Lake, New Zealand's glowworm caves....Every page is a marvel.
