The way people usually travel is all wrong, says visionary hotelier Thierry Teyssier. And for more than two decades, he’s been showing them how to do it better.

While culinary tours are typically synonymous with Southern Europe, Scandinavia presents a curious dining experience for visitors.

There is no good way to tell visitors to Paris that the queue at the Louvre never gets any smaller and the trip itself can turn into a day spent in line.

When winter’s chill was thawed by the blossoming of spring, our family would set off for the long drive from the Oxfordshire downs to our holiday house in Le Marche, central Italy. Cruising through the arable heartlands of Europe, my heart would skip a beat as we neared the totemic slate gradients of the Italian Alps. Snaking over the Brenner Pass, it felt like being spirited to another world: a sky-bright Narnia, as we emerged blinking-eyed into the Dolomites sun on the other side. Stopping in simple, family-run hotels for the night, the breakfasts were a joyful, modest but perfectly formed ode to the Sud Tyrol locale—the creamiest Sterzinger yogurts that we savored with crimson forest-fresh lingonberries, flower-flecked cheese (for breakfast!) draped with silky threads of marjoram honey from their farm. Today, most hip restaurants are ingredient-led, but these these mountain families have been doing it for centuries.

Few things beat the sense of freedom of the open road.

We’d love to hear about your favourite journeys in Europe – where did you go and what made it so special? The best tip will win a holiday voucher.

High in the mountains of Oman and along its pounding shoreline, I stumbled onto an unexpected slice of heaven thanks to a friend’s recommendation. I even sprang for a few extra amenities for a mash-up of pauper meets paradise.

You’re probably already familiar with the concept of the fashion or beauty dupe: a piece of clothing or a product which is similar to the original must-have item you’re swapping it for, in form and function, but which often costs significantly less without compromising on quality. This trend has swept TikTok (of course), and has now extended into the realm of travel. The idea is to exchange a popular destination for one that has similar qualities but is often overlooked, and which fewer people know about.

It’s dawn when we step off the train at Lelant, a village tucked into a bay near St Ives. The early morning light is still intensifying as the distinctive, repetitive shrill of a song thrush wakes this sleepy corner of west Cornwall.

Many tourists who visit Puerto Rico today are unfamiliar with the devastation inflicted upon the country in September, 2017 by Hurricane Maria, the 10th most intense storm in Atlantic history and one that made a direct hit upon the island. In addition to damaging buildings, the storm devastated electrical grids and cellphone towers as heavy winds also uprooted trees and caused flooding that wiped out roads and farm crops. Full recovery has been a lengthy process and in some respects is ongoing but has been aided by the resilience of the Puerto Rican people.

We often associate places with the historical events we know happened there and sometimes it might be the reason we travel, to commemorate and to visit these sites and museums. Places in the U.S. were also named after cities, towns and people in the old world or sometimes they simply described the geography of a place, often in local languages.

As an American territory, Puerto Rico stands out as one of the most convenient Caribbean getaways for U.S. citizens. With its close proximity and no passport requirement, it's easily accessible from many large cities — including more than 30 U.S. airports with nonstop flights.
