http://www.accreditedonlinecolleges.com/blog/2012/the-very-b...
While any book can transport you to another place and time, some do such a good job of conveying a sense of place that you feel like you’ve been to a country or a city, even if you never have. Of course, when you’re really hoping to travel to another place soon, it can be a good idea to take in one of these great reads to get a feeling for the atmosphere and history of your destination (though books of this sort are excellent tools for armchair tourism as well) before you go. Luckily, there are numerous reads rife with rich descriptions of locales around the world, bringing to life places far-flung, long gone, or even close to home. So whether you’re looking for the perfect literary travel accompaniment or just want to explore the world from your couch, pick up one of these amazing reads to experience the Paris of Hemingway, the Dublin of Joyce, or the American South of Faulkner.

Non-fictional travel writing goes back a ways too, but may include some creative license on the part of the author in an effort to tell a good story. Mark Twain's A Tramp Abroad is one such example.
