Looking for the perfect holiday escape? Consider Croatia. The country offers an impressive range of winter festivities that are perfect for kids and adults alike. Here are five great cities that put on an amazing show for the holidays.

There’s nothing like a glowing review to persuade you to confirm your next getaway. Airbnb’s latest update filters out the top-rated listings based on genuine reviews and makes it even easier to book with confidence. Luring in over 14 million tourists per year with its concert halls and honky tonks, Nashville, Tennessee, is as good a place as any to weed out the best rentals on the platform. It’s little wonder these Guest Favorite Airbnbs in Nashville have everyone returning for an encore in Music City.

Weaving your way through wooden stalls on a reindeer-drawn sled, savoring the aroma of roasted almonds, and sipping on gløgg—the region’s twist on mulled wine—are just some of the highlights of a visit to a Christmas market in Scandinavia.

Europe, especially Germany, is rightly famed for its Christmas markets that bring a fairy tale sense of wonder to the season. But you don’t have to journey abroad for holiday magic—these fairs in the United States showcase European-style festivities while celebrating their cities’ cultural heritage.

What do some of the most iconic pieces of architecture in the world—say, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Dancing House in Prague, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao—all have in common? Two words: Frank Gehry.

There’s always something going on in Las Vegas, and that’s especially true now. The Sphere, an architectural wonder, is open for concerts. Fontainebleau, a 67-story luxury megaresort, will make its debut later this month. Then, in February 2024, Allegiant Stadium will host Super Bowl LVIII. But, of course, one of the most perennially popular things to do in Sin City is to gamble, and now, a new report from Casino.org, suggests which casinos may be the luckiest in Las Vegas.

Amphitheater and stadium designers wouldn’t build a venue without toilets. So why do they persist in building structures without parking?

With Christmas markets in full swing and a skyline of baroque spires and domes guiding the eye to snow-frosted mountains, Salzburg is the most festive of cities. Travellers who stroll around its medieval streets during winter will glimpse trees glistening with fairy lights, hear the angelic voices of carollers singing Silent Night (a carol whose first ever performance was in the city) and catch the alluring smells of gingerbread and glühwein (mulled wine) in the air. Beyond the city there’s the beauty of the Alps, best enjoyed on skis or from a horse-drawn sleigh. Here are the best ways to enjoy the city of Salzburg during the festive season.

Whether you’re a dedicated bargain hunter, passionate about interiors, a spa-o-holic, an obsessive foodie, love exploring places brimming with history and atmosphere, or adore contemporary art, then you’ve come to the right place. Few places on Earth do any of these things quite like Marrakesh.

Taylor Swift kicked off her South American tour with three sellout crowds at Buenos Aires’ Monumental Stadium, the home venue of Club Atlético River Plate and the Argentinian national soccer teams.

I’m a U2 fan. So when tickets went on sale on April 27 at a new, not-yet-open dome-shaped Las Vegas entertainment facility called The Sphere, I went to the Ticketmaster Web site. I ended up with four seats for the Irish band’s October 27th show. Tickets in the near-nosebleed 400 section were a reasonable $140, including Ticketmaster’s notorious fees.

It's not only occasional Taylor Swift concerts or regular season NFL games for the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams that take over the shiny new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, a Los Angeles suburb. The 70,000-plus-seat entertainment venue is constantly hosting something thrilling, and in 2028 will be a hub for the Summer Olympics. The Kia Forum is also right next door, another home to many diverse concerts and events every month of the year.

As the year nears its end, the tourism industry is setting its sights on the buzzwords for travel in 2024. Will we still be doing revenge travel, set-jetting and workcations?

Salzburg is like a film set. Reclining at the foot of wooded cliffs on the banks of a turquoise river, its baroque-gone-mad Altstadt wings you through a millennium of history, with its jewel box of churches, abbeys, and domes. Everywhere you go, you are forced to look up in wonder: at the whopping hilltop fortress; at lavishly gilded palaces and concert halls where Mozart once performed; at mountains peeking up on the horizon where Maria (Julie Andrews) had her twirling The Sound of Music debut.
