Discover the interesting, outlandish, and dark secrets you wish your tour guide would tell you about all the world’s most popular landmarks.

Everything you thought you knew about your favorite travel destinations? There’s so much more.

Curated by the relentlessly curious travel journalist and National Geographic regular contributor, Ronan O’Connell, Hidden in Plain Sight invites you on a photographic tour of the world’s most popular landmarks showcasing the most mystifying, intriguing, and jaw-dropping stories from all the places on your bucket list.

You’re invited to travel to more than 20 popular landmarks, including:

• Bali’s Uluwatu Temple, which overlooks a sea of demons in the Indian Ocean. • The Edinburgh Castle, where a supernatural stone (most recently incorporated into King Charles’s coronation ceremony) resides. • The Berlin Wall, where MLK Jr. quietly passed across its border under the dark of night. • Amsterdam’s Dam Square, where tourists stroll at the spot “witches” were once burned at the stake.

Learn all the stories and marvels you wish your tour guide would tell you, all without leaving the comfort of your own home. Featuring over 150 photographs, this spectacular coffee table book is the perfect gift to give to the history lovers, globetrotters, and armchair travelers in your life.

Whether you're traveling to Prague, Sydney, Kyoto, or beyond, you do not want to miss the marvelous stories hidden in plain sight.
