Rough Guides rounds up 'best experiences of 2009'
02 December 2008
Adventurous travellers have been offered a guide to the ten best travel experiences of 2009, which includes a trip to Singapore to see the Formula One night race on 27 September.
Rough Guides also encouraged travellers to pay a visit to Kotor in Montenegro, a Unesco-protected town that offers stunning views of the world's second deepest fjord.
People who want to experience the Australian diving scene can head to Ningaloo on the west coast as an alternative to the hectic Great Barrier Reef, while holidaymakers in Europe may want to see the spectacle of the Granitola festival in Corsica over Easter.
Visitors to the Americas can explore Cuba before the island is flooded with tourists when visitor restrictions are lifted, or alternatively volunteer in New Orleans to help deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Travellers in South America are encouraged to see the Colombian town of Baranquilla in December, when it becomes a 'winter wonderland', while holidaymakers in Africa can head to Lamu, Kenya in March for the Maulidi festival.
Britons will be able to enjoy plenty of events close to home next year, including the first ever Wimbledon with a guarantee of dry weather as centre court begins using its retractable roof, and the Clan Gathering in Edinburgh in July.
Opodo cheap flights, hotels and car hire - let the journey begin!
