Chase the Northern Lights in Norway
The electric green ribbons of the Aurora Borealis dancing across Norway's pristine Arctic sky represent one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles. If witnessing the Northern Lights tops your bucket list, a trip to Norway can transform that dream into reality, while offering far more than just aurora viewing.

Japan by rail: five journeys worth taking
The rail network in Japan makes it easy to shape a trip around the kind of experience you want, rather than following a single fixed route. One day you can be in the middle of a busy food district, the next you’re watching the landscape open out into mountains or coastline. These journeys aren’t about rushing through a checklist, but about choosing routes that naturally link places together and give each stop a bit more meaning.
5 unmissable European rail journeys
Travelling by train isn’t just a more responsible way to explore - it’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the stunning scenery and cultures of Europe. Forget queueing at airport security or worrying about baggage weight; with rail journeys, you can sit back, stretch your legs, and watch the world go by. What makes many of these journeys even better is they begin in London with the Eurostar, making it easier than ever to skip the airport altogether.
Six eco-lodges for a quiet escape in nature
Travel is one of the most meaningful ways to connect with the world, and these magnificent lodges can help you do just that amongst some of the world’s most arresting scenery. What’s more, these lodges are all actively contributing to the preservation of the landscapes you’ve travelled to enjoy. These aren’t just places to stay, they’re destinations that inspire, whether through their endemic wildlife or unique cultural practices. From the rugged coastlines of South Africa to the serene valleys of Bhutan, here are six exceptional eco-lodges to add to your ‘must-visit’ list.
How to spend 48 hours in Rome
Italy’s capital city rewards a short break done properly. With two full days, you can cover the big sights, eat exceptionally well, and still leave space to get pleasantly lost between piazzas. Base yourself somewhere central so you can explore largely on foot and dip back to your hotel when you need a pause. Here’s a well-paced way to spend your time in Rome, with ideas for what to see, where to eat, and where to stay.
Go beyond the safari and see another side of Africa
Africa is often introduced through safari, but that’s only one part of a much wider experience. Across the continent, you’ll find coastlines, cities, mountains, and food scenes that feel completely different from one another. South Africa is a good example of this variety, where you can move from beaches to vineyards to historic sites within a relatively short distance. It’s a destination that works just as well for a multi-stop trip as it does for a single base with day trips.
How to spend 48 hours in Athens
Athens works well as a short break, offering a mix of well-known landmarks and neighbourhoods that are easy to explore on foot. In just two days, you can cover the main sights without feeling rushed, moving between ancient sites and everyday city life. Areas like Plaka and Monastiraki give you a sense of how the city ticks today, while places like the Acropolis remind you just how far back its history goes. With a bit of planning, it is straightforward to balance both sides.
Beyond the beaches of Nassau & Paradise Island
Nassau & Paradise Island are often associated with their beaches, but there’s much more to the destination than a typical sun holiday. It combines history, food, activities, and events in a way that makes it easy to build a varied itinerary. In 2026, there are even more reasons to visit, including the Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival at Baha Mar from 21st to 25th October.
