From May 3 to 5, 2024, the Formula 1 Grand Prix will return to the Miami International Autodrome, for its third year— a 19-turn, 3.36-mile track, next to the Hard Rock Stadium. Last year, 270,491 fans were in attendance, and this year, more are to be expected— especially with the launch of the F1 Academy — the series created to develop and prepare female drivers, from the ages of 16 to 25, to progress to higher levels of motorsport competition.

The stone arches looped solemnly over their shadows, some teetering above the grass, some sinking into it. It was a dazzling January morning, and I was standing in the Park of the Aqueducts, about 20 minutes by metro from central Rome. Here, the ruined arcades of six of the 11 aqueducts that once supplied the Eternal City with an astonishing volume of water — by some counts double the per capita water allotment of a typical 21st-century American city — have been preserved.

Don’t let the occasional big-chain coffee shop fool you – Miami runs on Cuban coffee.

The 2023 Miami Grand Prix proved to be the pivotal race in Max Verstappen’s dominant and historic performance en route to securing his third World Drivers’ Championship title. The Dutch driver started from P9, while his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez started from pole. Verstappen sliced his way through the pack, as if in a different formula category. With nine laps remaining, he emerged from the pits and not only closed a 1.8-second gap to Perez but passed him and put another five seconds into the Mexican driver before taking the checkered flag. What we didn’t realize at the time was that Verstappen would proceed to win every remaining race of the 2023 F1 season, save for a glitch in the Red Bull matrix that was Singapore.

London is a city of many historic hotels, but perhaps one of the most iconic is The Connaught—and it has an iconic bar to match. The Connaught Bar, though it only opened in 2008, exudes a classic tony air that gives the impression it’s been there since the hotel was first built in 1815.

Now, 100 of those luxurious libations have been collected into a beautiful new book, The Connaught Bar: Recipes and Iconic Creations, out April 10.

I live in Lisbon but as a food and travel writer I frequently find myself in Porto. For me, a visit to the northern Portuguese city typically involves a peek at a new place or two interspersed with return visits to the classics. In particular, I always make a point of going to cafes, bars and restaurants that specialize in the flavors, dishes and drinks of Portugal’s far north – the kind of stuff that’s hard to find in Lisbon.

Every traveler headed to a warm-weather destination needs a comfortable pair of walking sandals in their carry-on. Try as they might, those $4 flip-flops just aren’t going to cut it against a long day of sightseeing or an afternoon traipsing along muddy trails, and in hot weather, a sneakers-and-socks combo can feel stifling.

Halifax is known for its seafood more so than its plant-based cuisine—but that doesn’t mean finding vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants will be difficult. Nova Scotia is ahead of the curve when it comes to championing local- and seasonal cuisine in Canada and as such the quality of plant-based dining tends to be pretty high.
