Forty years ago, Lonely Planet began publishing backpackers' bibles to encourage explorers to see the world on a shoestring. Today, they are a leading publisher of definitive travel guides for top tourist attractions and the road less travelled.

Together with a team of renowned travel authors, experts and the whole Lonely Planet community, they have compiled the Ultimate Travelist, ranking 500 of the worlds "most thrilling, memorable and downright interesting places on this planet" to visit in your lifetime.

Among the pages filled with full colour photographs from all over the world, there are many crowd favourites like the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Petra in Jordan, Macchu Picchu in Peru, and maybe even a few surprises (Trinity College in Ireland, anyone?). Each entry gives a snippet of what makes that place worthy of a spot in the book, while a "See It!" section provides a starting point for planning a trip.
