By Jackie de Burca on Aug 17, 2015 in Attractions, Europe, Going Out, Regions, Restaurants, Spain, Western Europe

It is hard to imagine a city that contrasts beautiful historical architecture so brilliantly with avant-garde modern architecture, as well as Valencia does. It’s hard not to fall in love with the sweet smell of oranges that emanates from the trees, which line so many of the city centre’s avenues. The weather is often good

Mykonos is best known for throwing the party that never stops. It’s a glamorous island where anything goes; friendly people, incredible bars, a stylish crowd and a non-stop party atmosphere that lasts long into the sunset.

By Paul Johnson on Aug 11, 2015 in Accommodation, Europe, Featured, Food and Drink, Germany, Going Out, Hotels, Regions, Restaurants, Travel Miscellany, Western Europe

But, before all that, we called at

Visit Vitoria-Gasteiz, Queen of the Basque Country

By Janice Nieder on Jul 30, 2015 in Accommodation, Attractions, Europe, Food and Drink, Going Out, Hotels, Regions, Restaurants, Spain, Travel Miscellany, Western Europe

Like Rodney Dangerfield, Vitoria-Gasteiz, founded in 1181, still hasn’t received the level of respect it so richly deserves. Admittedly, it doesn’t have famous museums to rival Bilbao’s Guggie (but really, who does?) and it will never replace San Sebastian as a chic getaway for the moneyed, beautiful people who can’t wait to drop umpteen pounds

6 ways to make your visit to Rome fantastic

By Carol Stigger on Jul 26, 2015 in Accommodation, Attractions, Europe, Food and Drink, Going Out, Italy, Regions, Restaurants, Travel Miscellany, Vacation Rentals, Vatican City, Western Europe

A lifetime is not enough to explore Rome – make that several lifetimes. The ancient ruins are still being excavated, restored, and preserved for the next millennium of those who seek the wonders of the Eternal City. On my last of many trips to Rome, I was not surprised to make new discoveries and to

6 ways to enjoy craft beer in Denver

By Leah DeAngelis on Jul 20, 2015 in Bars, Colorado, Food and Drink, Going Out, North America, Regions, Restaurants, Spas & Pampering, Speciality Travel, Travel Miscellany, USA

With more breweries per capita than any other state, Colorado is famous for craft brew. Denver is often referred to as the “Napa Valley of Beer,” and more beer is produced in the Mile High City than any other metropolis in the US.

5 can't miss experiences in Chicago

By Hilary Stockton on Jul 20, 2015 in Accommodation, Attractions, Cruises & Boat Travel, Food and Drink, Going Out, Hotels, Illinois, North America, Regions, Restaurants, Speciality Travel, Travel Miscellany, USA

Chicago is sometimes overlooked by visitors, who have heard more about NYC, Miami and San Francisco, but it’s a delightful discovery that many miss out on. As a New Yorker, I loved strolling along the riverfront, with its aquamarine water (a beautiful color, thanks to water from Lake Michigan), the clean air, lack of crowds,

The perfect “girl’s day” in Milan

By Mary Clare Bland on Jul 20, 2015 in Europe, Food and Drink, Going Out, Italy, Regions, Restaurants, Travel Miscellany, Western Europe

Milan gets a bad rap. It’s often called industrial, grey and unwelcoming. I prefer to think of it as a mini New York with prettier clothes, properly made coffee, less greasy pizza and better mannered denizens. Yes, the weather in the winter can be a bit challenging, but at least there are no hurricanes or

By Judy Johnson on Jun 29, 2015 in Accommodation, Attractions, Europe, Featured, Food and Drink, Going Out, Hotels, Leisure Travel, Regions, Restaurants, Speciality Travel, Travel Miscellany, United Kingdom, Vacation Rentals, Western Europe

800 years ago, pilgrims travelling to Lincoln would have been able to see the distant tower of the cathedral long before they reached their destination. And today that splendid building can still be seen from afar. Visitors arriving by car will quickly find themselves down by the River Witham where there are modern developments and
