I visited Kraków this summer. 'Emily in Paris' gave it a bad reputation, but my family liked the Polish city better than Rome.

After Norway was added to China's visa-free list earlier in September, five more European countries have made the cut.

Travelers hoping to explore the world by sea have a new option — and on a newly refurbished vessel.

For me, September is a hard one to see go. With it, those last little moments of summer slip away, the temperature starts to change and it's time to start pulling out your warm coats. My September was especially great, though. It started with cruising around the Mediterranean and checking out a few dreamy hotels in Italy, followed by a quick trip to Mexico to check out Hyatt's new all-inclusive brand.

Rome is one of the most established tourist destinations in the world and 2025 is set to be a bumper year for visitor numbers. 

Whenever I realize a friend is in Paris — likely via a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower's shimmering lights or a snap of the sun hitting the Louvre Pyramid just right — my response is always the same.

I've traveled the world on a shoestring budget.

Italian president Sergio Mattarella has hailed the "great relationship" between Rome and Berlin on a three-day state visit to Germany.

Paris and Berlin will soon be connected by a new high-speed train service.

It’s that time of year again. Leaves are changing colors, shoulder season trips are in full swing, and international airlines are sharing what new routes travelers can expect next summer.

A popular low-cost air airline is expanding globally. Southwest Airlines recently announced a partnership to offer international flights by partnering with carriers who operate international fights in Southwest markets. “Southwest is formalizing partnerships with international carriers to expand its network and connect Customers with more global destinations to generate additional demand for travel across the Southwest network,” Southwest shared in a news release. The launch of this new international flight program will take place in 2025, with Icelandair as the first partner airline, and will depart from the Baltimore, MD (BWI) airport. There, travelers can fly on Icelandair to Iceland, where they can connect to a variety of European destinations including Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Oslo, Prague, Rome, and more. Icelandair is a discount carrier that operates international flights, and similar to Southwest, does not have a first or business class section on their aircraft.  “The partnership will unlock many exciting travel options for our customers, and our extensive network in Europe will open for Southwest customers,” Icelandair President and CEO Bogi Nils Bogason said in a statement.  “As part of our strategic focus on expanding our global partnership network, we seek out airlines known for exceptional service and connectivity.” As an example, a traveler would start their journey on Southwest from Nashville to Baltimore, and then continue on Icelandair from Baltimore to Iceland.

Low-cost Icelandic airline Play is making it easier to travel this fall and winter with $99 flights to popular cities across Europe.

To survive cold weather at home, you likely have a favored Big Coat. But whether it’s a flowy wool trench that grazes that ground or a bulbous puffer that makes you a dead-ringer for the Michelin Man, it’s probably unsuited for life in transit. When you’re traveling on a plane, a truly big coat can make getting yourself through security and squeezing yourself into ever-shrinking basic economy plane seats a real hassle.
