Lonely Planet: The world's leading travel guide publisher*

This is not a guidebook. And it's definitely 'not-for-parents'. It is the real inside story about one of the world's most colorful continents - Europe. In this book you'll read about bizarre pastimes from wok racing and mobile phone hurling to grown-up food fights and rotten shark chomping. You'll learn the gruesome facts about some of history's most bloodthirsty rulers and can check out sculptures made of human bones, the world's biggest pizza, ultracool ice hotels, and a metal-munching Frenchman. This book shows you a Europe your parents probably don't even know about.

Authors: Written and researched by Lonely Planet, Clive Gifford
