Atlas Obscura (2nd Edition)

Atlas Obscura is a travel phenomenon that captures equal parts wonder and wanderlust, reshaping our perception of the world with its curious and unusual destinations.

This second edition introduces readers to over 100 new places, featuring dozens of photographs and twelve city guides for locations such as Berlin, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and more.

The book, more a cabinet of curiosities than a traditional guidebook, celebrates the unexpected, the overlooked, the bizarre, and the mysterious.

From natural wonders like glowworm caves in New Zealand to architectural marvels like Escher-like stepwells in India, and mind-boggling events like the Baby-Jumping Festival in Spain, Atlas Obscura invites readers to be delighted, disoriented, and amazed by the unfamiliar.

With compelling descriptions, stunning photographs, charts, maps, and city guides, it provides a journey that is both immersive and impossible to resist.
