The sign on the outside of the Berlin restaurant NOname is very discreet—just NO in script. At first glance after entering, the interior looks pretty subtle as well: tables and curved black chairs, filmy white curtains lining the walls. But then on the back wall is an illustration of the restaurant’s motto No Limits, No Boundaries, No Name: a large mural of a model named Fräulein Fuchs in a black swimsuit tied with bondage ropes. Apparently, on certain nights, risqué programs in sync with the city’s racy reputation take place here. But so on every night does the creative, assured cooking in a six or eight course tasting menu that this year earned the four year old restaurant its first Michelin star. Edgy with excellent food, just like Berlin itself.

During 2023, travelers returned to the skies in record numbers, and airports did their part to help smooth out the travel journey — or at least make it a bit more fun and interesting.

If you're flying anywhere this holiday season, it's a good bet you'll spend some extra "bonus dwell time" in an airport terminal. Or three.

Whenever the holidays roll around, we here at Condé Nast Traveler like to take stock of what we can fine-tune or do better for the next time we hit the road—or sky or seas—whether it's about airport strategies or how we engage with the people and neighborhoods we find at our next destination.

In the autumn of 1948, Marcel Bich, owner of a company located north of Paris that produced ink cartridges for fountain pens, pushed a wheelbarrow in his garden in the village of Rhuis. He considered the new ‘ball point’ pen launched by the Reynolds company in the United States, and was mystified by the allure of this expensive instrument that produced what he considered as shoddy writing. He turned around, peered at the wheel imprint left by his barrow on dirt, and was flooded with a realization. The ball point pen did the same as the wheel—it left an imprint by rolling, not by scratching. He knew this could lead to more fluid, easier writing.

After the year of revenge travel (and flight costs rising with a similar vengeance), tourism might be settling into relative homeostasis in 2024. Then again, everything has changed, including the terrain of where you’ll want to go next, and maybe even the order of your bucket list.

What a thrill to journey by train to St Moritz in the snowy Swiss Alps to see the work of Gerhard Richter (born in 1932), the German painter who critics describe as our “greatest living artist.” His works can be found in international collections and have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries in Europe and the United States. He’s also the most expensive European living artist (his abstract painting Abstraktes Bild (599) sold for a record $46.3 million at Sotheby's in London). While Richter’s paintings are highly covetable, collectors visiting his new three-venue exhibition in the Swiss Alps must be content with simply viewing the works as none are for sale.
