To get to know a country, you don't necessarily need to travel to its capital. Often, exploring small towns offers much more: it helps you get to know the local customs and traditions, history, nature, and the people who live there. This book is for those who choose a slow-travel approach, where the value lies not in the number of checkmarks on a map, but in the depth of the impressions.
Such places are true gems of the world, preserving their history, unspoiled by civilization and high-tech. They often lack skyscrapers, the hustle and bustle, crowds, endless lines, and long, time-consuming commutes. Instead of typical supermarkets, there are colorful small family-run shops selling traditional products, and the tourist's primary mode of transportation is walking, as all the main attractions are within walking distance.
Open this book and you'll stroll across the Ronda bridge overlooking a gorge, soak in the honeyed light of a Siena sunset, explore the quiet courtyards of Krakow, bathe in the hot springs of Baños, discover the snow-white tranquility of the mountains of Innsbruck and Zermatt, and see whales in Sitka and iconic sites of the Inca Empire in Cusco.
