I Norge er det rundt 98 000 km offentlig vei. 2151 km er så unike, vakre eller spektakulære at de har fått status som Nasjonale turistveger. Den korteste er Gamle Strynefjellsvegen (27 km), som stiger til 1139 meter over havet, den lengste går i fjæresteinene langs Helgelandskysten (433 km).

På to og fire hjul kan du se bruddstykker av Norge som vil gi deg gåsehud og hakeslipp. De 18 veiene har alle sitt særpreg og sin historie, og underveis byr de på storslagne opplevelser - og en rekke overraskelser.

Mil etter mil lar deg møte lokalkjente, som på hver sin måte er med på å prege sin lille del av landet vårt. Vi tar deg med på avstikkere litt utenom turistveiene og gir deg bakgrunnshistorien til hendelser som har vært med å forme områdene du reiser gjennom. 

Om du bruker en dag eller en uke, en lang sommerferie eller en kort vinterhelg, vil opplevelsene ta tak i deg. Slipp løs din indre eventyrer og bli kjent med de villeste og vakreste strekningene i Norge.

This book is your essential guide to getting to know the most interesting, rewarding and hip areas to stay in 50 cities around the world. Dive deep into an exciting new destination and discover the best little-known sights and things to do, plus the coolest places to eat, drink and shop to create unforgettable trips. For each of the 50 cities profiled in Secret City, we've swung the spotlight onto neighbourhoods where you can feel the rhythms of local life.

Sometimes you'll find the city's most well-trodden streets are only a short distance away, but there's a well-concealed treasure: perhaps a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cafe in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana, a historic jazz bar in Stockholm's Gamla Stan, or an unmissable brunch spot in Brunswick, Melbourne. Elsewhere, you'll discover neighbourhoods you might not know much about but should really consider staying in: Tokyo's grungy Koenji, barnacle-clung Wapping and Rotherhithe in London, and Staten Island's North Shore in New York City. For each neighbourhood, there are out-of-the-ordinary recommendations for eating, drinking, partying and where to delve into local culture.

All of them are hand-picked by experts who know these cities inside out, and they're accompanied by maps to orient you in these exciting districts. About Lonely Planet: Lonely Planet is a leading travel media company and the world's number one travel guidebook brand, providing both inspiring and trustworthy information for every kind of traveller since 1973.

Experience 60 of the world's greatest adventures on water - from sailing the Nile by felucca and cruising the Canadian Arctic, to exploring Pitcairn Island by cargo ship. With detailed accounts of each route, beautiful photos and practical tips on how to plan your own voyage, Amazing Boat Journeys will help you discover a more rewarding way of travelling. From the seafaring Polynesians to the Chinese Age of Discovery, travel by water shaped the world.

That same spirit of exploration compels Lonely Planet writers today to travel by cargo freighter and fishing vessel to the world's most remote islands; to hop onto mailboats in the Bahamas; or to experience life on a historic sail-powered windjammer. These journeys are eclectic and wide-ranging, from the wonder of a glass-bottomed boat ride through Florida springs to the ease of a thatch-roofed kettuvallam exploring Kerala's famed backwaters. Old-fashioned paddle-steamers ply the length of the Mississippi in the style of the 1800s, and cruise ships on the Yangtze feature enthusiastic karaoke in Mandarin.

Off-the-beaten-path cruises include Antarctica and Papua New Guinea. On the opposite end of the spectrum from a weeks-long journey over open seas is the charm of seeing a city from the water, whether crossing Victoria Harbour via Hong Kong's classic Star Ferry, viewing the banks of London from the Thames, or traversing Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. Each trip includes authoritative commentary, awe-inspiring photography, and details of life on board the vessel, similar routes, and how to make the trip happen.
