Destination of the Month – Krakow
Spring is definitely upon us now and the cold, wet months of winter are receding into the darker recesses of our memories with alarming speed.

Monuments at Risk
Every two years the World Monuments Fund releases a report about great monuments that are currently facing extinction. Its last report made for fairly sombre reading as it listed – amongst a number of other sites around the world – two of the most iconic tourist sites anywhere on the planet. The Sagrada Familia – [...]
Bizarre Hotel of the Month – Prison!
In previous months we’ve brought you news of hotels in airplanes, cranes and even concrete tubes. This time we turn to Ljubljana, Slovenia where a bunch of savvy developers have decided to tap in on the current vogue for Yugoslav era prison blocks. That’s right!

Destination of the Month – Damascus

Kennedy Space Center Calls All Cosmic Cadets
Orlando may be famous for its theme parks, but the Kennedy Space Centre is way more than just a park! This fully-operational US government site has been the launchpad for every US manned space flight since 1968, and is the base for NASA’s retiring space shuttles – Endeavor, Discovery, Enterprise and Atlantis. The sprawling complex [...]
Happy Travelling
In its ‘Emerging Destination’ category in the Wanderlust 2010 Travel Awards, an obscure and isolated nation in the foothills of the Himalayas caused some surprises by ranking third behind only Columbia and Madagascar. And the country is?
Weird World Festivals
Well, we’ve passed the August bank holiday, signalling the end of the Great British summer. And the Notting Hill Carnival and Reading and Leeds festivals closed the curtain on the UK festival season. So you’d be excused a little despondency at the prospect of a long party-free winter ahead. It’s not all doom and gloom [...]
