The Most Unique Places in the World

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Here at Bradt, we're best known for taking travellers beyond the obvious. While we've spent decades uncovering little-known destinations, we also believe in revealing unexpected sides of places people think they already know.

In this collection, we celebrate some of the world's most distinctive places, from the ancient oasis town of Ghadames in Libya to the sweeping landscapes of Angola's Namibe Province, and countless fascinating destinations in between. Some are remote and rarely visited; others are well-established favourites that reveal something new when you look beyond the headline attractions.

What connects them is a sense of uniqueness.

These are places with extraordinary landscapes, remarkable histories, unusual cultures and experiences that set them apart from anywhere else on Earth. They invite travellers to dig deeper and venture further.

Whether you're discovering a country for the first time or returning to somewhere you've visited before, the places featured here demonstrate what we have always championed: travel that goes beyond the expected.

A note from Hilary Bradt... In 1999, Janice Booth and I travelled to the Isles of Scilly hoping to see the total eclipse of the sun. We were lucky: it was the only place in the British Isles that had clear sky at the moment of totality. We were hooked. A guide to the two forthcoming eclipses in that Bradt-friendly continent, Africa, was already in the pipeline, and Janice’s story, reproduced below, was published as a prologue. Janice died in 2024. If moved by some event or episode in her...
