The following is an excerpt from The World Travel Guide, published by Empire Press. [Originally published two years ago.]

With a rich cultural heritage and one of the highest living standards in the world, Vitalia is a picturesque medley of alpine lakes, majestic mountains, and elegant cities. Vitalia’s capital, Valo, features such exquisite architecture that it ranks 5th in our “must-see” prime tourist hot-spots.

In the summer travelers can partake in mountain climbing, hiking, horse riding, zip-lining, and paragliding in some of the most breathtaking locations imaginable. Visiting Lake Baylith is an unmissable opportunity to enjoy fresh, mountain air and spectacular views.

In winter the region is a wonderland that attracts snow-savvy skiers. For those uninterested in the slopes, there is no shortage of high-altitude health resorts, casinos, and bars.
