I’ve mentioned in the past that Lonely Planet is my preferred and favorite choice when choosing a guidebook. (Yes I still buy/ read them for most trips.)

Back in November 2015 I wrote about a new product that I was excited to take a look at. Lonely Planet Magazine hit the newsstands in the US as a quarterly offering for the first time.

Now the second issue has arrived. Let’s take a look at what we can expect to find inside.

Lonely Planet Magazine is an over-sized magazine. (It’s a bit wider than your average magazine.) The article topics vary quite a bit and you can expect some nice, high-quality photos inside too.

Here is what you’ll find inside LP Mag issue 2:

• An interview with actor and award-winning travel writer Andrew McCarthy. (I went to a presentation given by McCarthy at the NY Times Travel Show a few years back and it was very interesting. I’d expect the article to be too..)
• A how-to cruiseinfographic on how to get the most of on-shore time
• Essential Family Travel Gear  (There are some interesting products suggested. I’d definitely recommend the Fjallraven Kanken pack for little ones.)
• Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Visit in the U.S.

Features like:

• 10 New Ways to Fall in Love with New York
• What to Eat in Seattle
• Two Sides to Argentina
• Iceland’s Magic Circle
• ‘Great Escapes’ article on Sicily
• A cruising feature
• Amazing Places to Stay (which lists 6 of the hottest tech-savvy hotels)

So what do you think? Are you interested in checking out the new issue of Lonely Planet Magazine? If so, which articles are you most interested in reading?
