What s the best time of year to visit Tuscany? How about Sydney, La Paz or Antarctica?
A new coffee-table book from Eyewitness Travel, Where to Go When: The Best Destinations All Year Round, is being promoted as the ultimate trip-planner.
Whether you re an armchair traveler or a globetrotter, the book offers plenty of inspiration for a travel wish list. It s loaded with beautiful, colorful photographs, descriptions, advice and other tidbits.
Thirty destinations are presented for each month, with 11 covered in depth.

The listing includes a six-day itinerary on the Chianti Trail, from Florence to Siena.
Sydney, Australia, is the place to be for New Year s Eve, while May is a good time to visit La Paz, Bolivia. February is the time of year when penguin chicks can be observed being cared for in and around their nests in Antarctica.
