Nezu Museum
Traditional East Asian and Japanese art meet contemporary architecture in the Nezu Museum, a minimalist space redesigned by Kengo Kuma. High ceilings, bamboo walls, and enormous windows overlooking the museum’s leafy surroundings in Aoyama district make this feel more like visiting the home of a sophisticated friend than a conventional gallery. That’s fitting, since the museum was once the private residence of Nezu Kaichirō, the president of Japan's Tobu Railway. Much of its impressive 7,400-piece collection comes from his private stash of pre-modern works. Although it’s hardly unknown, the museum has managed to stay relatively under the radar and wandering through the six exhibition spaces even on weekends is a stress-free affair. Take in the sculpture, ceramics, and calligraphy at your own pace, then make your way to one of the most exquisite private gardens in the city.

Yata
Yata is a warmly glowing oasis floating 10 floors above the neon-lit frenzy of Shinjuku’s east side. It’s standing-room-only at this cozy sake specialist, so park yourself at one of the hexagonal wooden tables or sidle up to the counter, which curves around the room and overlooks the Blade Runner-esque scene below. The extensive sake menu changes daily, and we recommend the tasting flight, which allows you to try a variety of brews.

Cornerstone, Hackney Wick
Tom Brown learnt his trade in the stable of Nathan Outlaw, whose eponymous London and Cornish restaurants both hold Michelin stars. A few years ago Brown has opened a place of his own – just two minutes from Hackney Wick, the space is light and bright, with a handful of terracotta-potted succulents and pendant lights above the open kitchen. Somewhat more surprising though, that kitchen is right in the middle of the restaurant, so there’s not a bad seat in the house. Start with a Cornerstone G&T, made with own-brand gin that’s been distilled with cloudy apple juice from Polgoon Orchard in Cornwall rather than water and served with apple, samphire and a herbal tonic. As for food, you can’t avoid the fishiness – but then again, that’s what you’re here for. Crispy hake kiev comes with mussel butter and parsely emulsion, crab thermidor piled onto a warm (and well-buttered) crumpet. Tabitha Joyce

Roti King, Euston
The original Roti King is in a basement joint in Euston, a part of town most of us try to avoid at supper time unless we’re forced into catching a post-work train. But most Londoners in the know will make an exception for the buttery roti this spot is famous for – perfect for scooping up mouthfuls of curry (lamb, fish, chicken) or daal. The dining room is nothing fancy, but the omnipresent queue outside says it all – this is some of the most delicious, authentic Malaysian food in the city. Order a traditional lemon iced tea, and a roti with mutton khari, and you’ll only be set back just over a tenner. Brilliant value, and utterly deserving of a spot on our edit. Sarah James

Colmar, France
With its timber-framed houses, colorful facades, and flower-lined canal, the charming town of Colmar in France’s Alsace region looks like it was plucked right from Walt Disney’s imagination. But it’s not just lovely to look at; there’s plenty to delight in, whether it’s strolling the town’s cobblestoned streets or taking a boat ride on the water.

16/06/2022

The Sea of Stars, Maldives
The beaches at Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives have received their fair share of online swooning, and for good reason. The bioluminescent phytoplankton in the water’s reefs emanate a dazzling blue glow, making it look as though the stars have somehow found their way down to earth for the night—a phenomenon that has aptly become known as the “Sea of Stars.”

16/06/2022

Borgund Stave Church, Norway
Built around 1180 A.D., the Borgund Stave Church is one of Norway's finest examples of a stave church, a wooden structure defined by its corner-posts and timber frames. Although it’s no longer used for religious purposes, the landmark now serves as a visitors' center and—fun fact—inspiration for the artwork in Disney’s Frozen.

Iceland
There really is no wrong time to visit Iceland, but we’re particularly fond of chasing the midnight sun during July—the more daylight hours for exploring, the better. The summer months also make certain parts of the country accessible that might not be in the winter, including the 34-mile Laugavegurinn hiking trail in the Central Highlands. The mountain huts and campsites along the trail are only open between late June and early September, giving you a small time window to experience the hot springs, black lava fields, and multicolored mountains along the path.

01/06/2022

Philadelphia
If you’re hoping to travel over the Fourth of July, look no further than Philadelphia. (You might as well celebrate America’s birthday in America’s birthplace, right?) The city goes all out for the holiday with its annual Wawa Welcome America festival, which actually begins on June 19 this year to incorporate Juneteenth into its recognition of American independence. The 16-day celebration features dozens of free events across the city, culminating on July 4 with a massive concert (headliners this year are Jason Derulo and Ava Max) on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, followed by fireworks over the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Rothenberg Germany
Rothenberg is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Germany and part of the famous romantic road through southern Germany. The full name of this city is Rothenberg ob der Tauber means the Red Castle above the Tauber (river). It is because this town is situated on a knap overlooking the Tauber River.

Rothenberg is too touristy so to skip the crowd you must explore this town early in the morning and walk inside & outside of the wall to take better pictures. The main attraction of this town is the Charming Old Town itself.

The 13th-century town hall tower is the higher point of the city where you can get a birds-eye view of this beautiful city.

Paris, France – Most Visited City in the World
A whopping 89.4 million tourists visiting France each year is not in vain. It certainly has a reason and Paris is perhaps one BIG reason. It’s almost impossible to not fall in love with this city. It is full of history, beauty, and love. The city exudes culture, class, style and sophistication above all.

Watch the Eiffel Tower and become a poet or photographer instantly as you naturally draw inspiration from these and like of these in Paris. Be in awe when you observe the massive Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum and the list is endless.

Wonderful Lisbon has absolutely every element vital for a great weekend break (or more). Burgeoning social, food, arts and design scenes; great little places to eat and drink (read about Lisbon's best restaurants and bars); interesting old corners and markets to poke around (see our guide to the best shops in Lisbon) with just the right amount of crumbling, poster-paint-bright historic facades. There are old palaces to stay in and Lisbon rooftop bars with pools to hang out in. It's beside the sea! And it's all ridiculously, delightfully affordable. Go at any time – though April is a great time to go to Lisbon, when the days are long and sunny and the cobbled streets are beginning to warm up.

Who doesn't love Paris in the springtime? Or at any time of year, come to that – Paris is always a good idea, as Audrey Hepburn said. But go now, when the city is warming up and the trees around the Tuileries are in blossom. When we can join the young Parisians who come out blinking into the spring sunshine, shrugging off their good coats to bare a new-season Breton stripe, sit out beside the Canal Saint-Martin and smoke Gauloises, or stroll a long, golden-evening stroll along the Seine, hand in hand with someone else who loves Paris in the springtime. Here's our pick of best things to do in Paris, France, by day and the best things to do in Paris at night.

It’ll be my first time visiting Lake Como and the four-day Easter break seems like the perfect amount of time to explore and chill out with an Aperol. I'm looking forward to sailing the waters and hopping off at the colourful towns that sit just on the water’s edge – Bellagio and Verenna are top of my list. I’ll be staying at the chic Villa Lario and diving into their infinity pool at the first chance I get.

During the day, there are miles of countryside walks to take, plus the historic town of Wi******er is only three miles away.
