The Best Place to be Today / FREE eBook from Lonely Planet

365 things to do, and the perfect day to do them. Perhaps you want to know when to pack your picnic for the prettiest Japanese cherry blossom party (26 March, in case you’re wondering). Or when best to raft the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon (try 16 September, the day after motorboats are prohibited for the year).
