For a Europhile with vacation days, it can be hard to remember that there are actually seven continents. Our rally cry is “Europe or bust!” Thankfully, there’s enough on the continent to keep us exploring for a lifetime — and we’ve got the bucket list to prove it. If you’re constantly drawn across the Atlantic…
papagaio-pirata/Flickr Music is an international language, spanning cultures across the world, and, in fact, across time. Looking at today’s musical landscape, certain cities truly stand out for their music scenes, whether for classical music, jazz, or even techno. In honor of International Music Day on October 1, we’re naming some of our favorite cities for…
For mere mortals, staying at a luxurious hotel is as close as it gets to living like royalty. Where else can you have a butler at your beck and call 24/7 and a Bentley parked out front with a driver to shuttle you around town? But springing for a stay where actual nobility hang their…
Europe is known for many things, from historic sights to stunning landscapes to buzzing metropolises. Tying the three together are the grand palaces that have housed European royal families for generations, many of which are set on picturesque manicured grounds.

There are thousands of winding pathways around the world that are perfect for a…
Come with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination—okay, perhaps you’ll never be able to visit Willy Wonka’s fantastical chocolate room in his candy factory. (A chocolate waterfall? We wish!) But if you have a sweet tooth, you need not despair for lack of a candy-filled adventure. You can find your own…
With so many different countries (44 to be exact) and cultures, Europe is likely to be a lifelong source of wanderlust for many travelers. So where should you travel and when? Any of the continent’s destinations are a draw at any age, but to help you narrow things down — and get your travel juices…
Photo courtesy of Flickr/Christian Siedler Vienna is the type of place that conveys an air of grandeur without being pompous. Lively restaurants serving oversized schnitzels, cozy historic cafes, and an amusement park with a giant Ferris wheel lighten the mood of majestic palaces, Mozart concerts, horse-drawn carriages, and pristine streets — all of which are…
Travel awakens all of the senses — but let’s be honest, taste (and therefore, food) is clearly the most fun way to get a fill, er, feel for a new destination. Europe’s culinary delicacies differ dramatically from one city to another, let alone country to country, which is just one reason for the continent’s greatness.…
Hotels around the world have played major roles in history. They’ve provided neutral territory, been the perfect place to commit a crime, and acted as the home-away-from-homes where authors’ imagination could take flight.
