Lonely Planet invites you to join us on a round-the-world exploration to meet the intrepid travelers who have made a full circumnavigation of the globe - and find out how they did it. From Ferdinand Magellen's historic 1519 voyage to Jenny Graham's extraordinary feat of endurance cycling around the world in 2018, the challenge and mystique of circumnavigating the globe has inspired countless people to take their own trips around the world.
Whether it's by boat, bike or balloon, we'll introduce you to each mode of travel and regale readers with amazing tales of the travelers who used each method for their circumnavigation. With illustrations, infographics, period photography and foldout maps, you'll discover the details of each circumnavigation and how to plan your own trip around the world.
We understood Sri Lanka so much better thanks to this guide. It really made our trip.

Great tool for travel planning a quick trip to this region of England
I visited Oxford las month and this Pocket Guide was a great value. Sights and pubs reviews were spot on. One thing though: during graduation season, several sights are closed down for private events. Duke Humfrey's library and the Sheldonian Theater were unavailable during my trip. Maybe there's a note in the guide which I might have missed, but a heads-up on this would be nice.
