Chicago is a place of culture, history, and artistic expression. This vibrant metropolis is home to a flourishing art scene, with numerous museums and galleries offering a diverse array of exhibitions and events. From exploring the works of Black American writers in the American Writers Museum to delving into the revolutionary art of Camille Claudel, and from celebrating the legacy of Pablo Picasso to witnessing the fascinating world of the Jewish deli, Chicago's art world is alive and thriving. Here is a closer look at the latest happenings in Chicago's art scene.

There are plenty of dazzling luxury resorts in the Caribbean, but people who like to fly private often like to stay private on vacation. One of those dreamy, secluded getaways is Villa Papillon in Antigua. Listed for $9.5 million, the 9,700-square-foot villa is located at the tip of Reed’s point, overlooking the water. For $8,000 to $12,000 a night (depending on the week), the villa can accommodate up to 12 people—but expect to spend your time on the vast terrace (on a clear day, you can see to Nevis and St. Kitts) or in the infinity pool.

In a city known for its wealth of food options, you might be surprised to learn that one of the best meals you’ll have in London – or, perhaps, anywhere – is dinner at Nipa Thai in the Royal Lancaster London.

A beautiful island that has everything from snow-dusted peaks and steaming hot springs to wildlife-filled nature reserves and neon-drenched cities, Taiwan is one of Asia’s most popular destinations.

The sights, sounds, tastes and smells of Nairobi are a full sensory experience. The elaborately decorated Matatu busses painted ornate graffiti, the dynamic array of restaurants, food carts and cafes, and a steady rotation of arts and cultural venues all fuel a distinct coolness only found in Kenya’s capital. Add in its namesake national park teeming with wildlife within easy reach of the city center, and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable trip.

Auckland has enough to fill even the most demanding traveler’s itinerary – but New Zealand’s largest city isn’t the cheapest place to visit. Dining out and cultural activities are often on the pricier side, yet Auckland has a wealth of natural beauty including parks, beaches and native forests that are all free to visit.

Auckland is New Zealand’s biggest city, but like the rest of the country, it still has a suburban, family-focused vibe.

There's something seriously special about train travel—particularly when the journey includes a sleeper carriage as good as these ones. There's only one problem: you'll be so mesmerized by the view whooshing past your window that sleep seems nigh impossible. Below, we take a look at some of the world's very best sleeper trains, where the sleep cabins are just as inviting as the views.

On the edge of the tropics, east of China and southwest of Japan, the small island of Taiwan drips with promise – and a fair bit of traveler sweat.
