NEW MAGS The Bucket List: Peace and Quiet

This inspiring guide is full of ideas and inspiration for travel destinations around the world that invite you to renew yourself physically and spiritually – perfect for recent graduates, soon-to-be retirees, inveterate daydreamers, armchair travelers, and anyone considering taking a much-needed sabbatical. When it’s time to escape the hectic, hurly-burly of ordinary life, this book offers a thousand delightful, quiet, and peaceful places that encourage you to relax. Featuring a range of escapes—from momentary getaways in the heart of New York or Paris to longer, contemplative visits to places that allow you to screen out the jangle of contemporary life—this expertly curated trove of peaceful places includes small parks and squares, lovely old churches and spiritual sanctuaries, off-the-beaten-path museums and galleries, hidden courtyards and gardens, tiny local eateries, and even cemeteries. Also included are wilder escapes in unspoiled natural settings, ideal for those whose idea of peace and quiet involves birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves. From the magic of watching the sun rise over the desert at the top of Mt. Sinai to the perfect quiet of an antiquarian book dealer in London or a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, each destination offers space, time to think, and the chance to savor the world around us in a new light.
