As travellers increasingly look to escape the crowds, stretch their budgets and experience destinations in a more authentic way, off-season travel is having a moment. The trend towards travelling outside traditional peak periods also reflects a growing appetite for more considered trips - spreading visitor numbers throughout the year, supporting local communities beyond the busiest months and offering a fresh perspective on familiar places.

Lonely Planet taps into this shift with Offseason, a new guide to 100 of the world’s top destinations at their most rewarding off-peak moments. From Romania’s winter landscapes in January and the Galápagos in March to Namibia’s temperate days and spectacular stargazing in May, the book travels through all 12 months of the year, combining inspiring experiences with practical planning advice to help travellers spend less, see more and enjoy a little more elbow room.

Inside Offseason:

• 100 top destinations across 12 months of the year outside of their peak tourist seasons
• Fascinating insights and unforgettable off-season experiences to seek out for each month 
• Essential need-to-know information and practical details to help you plan your next adventure and escape the crowds
