La Maddalena, Sardinia, is home to the first national park of Sardinia, featuring mostly undeveloped beaches and a vibrant main town with restaurants and shops.

Santorini's stunning beaches still have plenty to offer, characterized by unique landscapes rather than traditional silky blonde sand. Accessing them often requires climbing or navigating rocky terrain.

25hours Hotel The Olympia has reemerged as a high-voltage new entrant to Sydney's hotel scene, absorbing the collective energy of Oxford Street, a cultural artery of the city.

The pants that I get complimented on the most here are my La Ligne Colby pants. Whether with sneakers or with a boot, these pants offer an elevated, well-tailored but relaxed fit that always draws attention. Feel free to skip the black leggings and sweats and pack a comfy, wide-leg pant that you can dress up or down.

We'd been dreaming of a girls' trip for the past two years, but nothing had ever materialized because of our clashing schedules. Luckily, though, we finally found a time when we were both available. Because we aren't huge planners, we were excited about the idea of a last-minute trip. After a truly exhilarating week, here are three things I enjoyed about the experience and three I'd do differently next time.

This year is shaping up to be a big one for domestic travel, especially as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary in July. With that historic milestone on the horizon, it's a fitting moment to take stock of where travelers are most eager to go. Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Destinations do just that, spotlighting the top U.S. destinations based on millions of reviews and ratings submitted over the past year. The results reflect the places that resonated most with travelers.

Svalbard was ranked as the least crowded island in Europe, according to retreat booking platform BookRetreats.com, which looked at tourism patterns across Europe's islands. The study, which drew on European Commission data measuring overnight tourist stays per square kilometer, found Svalbard boasted just 2.4 overnight stays.

Singapore has a special way of blending old traditions with modern life, especially evident in its historic neighborhoods like Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam. There, colorful shophouses, temples, and mosques sit alongside cafes and boutiques, while long-standing food and craft traditions remain part of daily life.

It's hard to name the best cities in Europe-there are so many great bustling hubs (not to mention charming small towns) spread across a relatively small continent, making it more a question of what you're looking for. Sure, some travelers just beeline to the best-known landmarks, eager for the chance to cross Rome's Colosseum or Paris's Eiffel Tower off their list. But we're in favor of taking a step back and asking yourself what you're most interested in.

Few cities in the world exude as much elegance as Paris, where every boulevard seems to have a story and every building appears a work of art. The City of Light has a way of capturing the imagination of even the most seasoned traveler-its allure magnified by its architectural beauty, from the symmetry of its avenues flanked by Haussmannian buildings to the wrought-iron flourishes of Belle Époque balconies.

If I'd told my parents 10 years ago that they'd have the opportunity to stand on top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps, they wouldn't have believed me. For most of their lives, they operated a small family dairy farm in rural Wisconsin and were tied to its constant responsibilities. Because of this, their vacations were limited. So, last year, when I learned my parents were ready to book their first trip to Europe to celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary, I was beyond excited.

Luxembourg City takes first place with 18.15 percent of reviews mentioning 'beautiful.' Travelers often highlight its clean streets and strong mix of old and modern areas. Even though the capital is small, people seem to appreciate how easy it is to walk around.

Europe has never been short on spectacle. Yet beyond the headline cities and endlessly recycled itineraries lies a quieter, deeper continent; one that's best encountered through patience and a willingness to detour from the obvious itinerary. Our 7 wonders of Europe for 2026 in Europe are not places that beg for attention. Instead, they reward those prepared to explore more than a few miles from the nearest airport and linger a little longer than planned.

Sometimes it's fun to step out of our comfort zones and pick an accommodation that's a total contrast from our own homes. These colourful Airbnbs are all one-of-a-kind and operate on their own palette to create character and dimension. From the furniture to the light fixtures, colours can be found everywhere; electric oranges, deep reds, pastel yellows, and the boldest of blues. These unique spaces are made for themed trips, Instagrammable moments, and to help you find your creative spark.

Winter is a season for romantic gestures. Not only does Valentine's Day arrive in the middle of February, but the colder temperatures also bring a cozy atmosphere that's conducive to spending quality time with your loved one. Think nights in front of the fire, holding hands, and cuddling up to stay warm. But after the holiday rush, winter at home can also become a bit monotonous-by late January, the shorter days lose their charm-so you may want to consider booking a trip to keep romance alive and spark a sense of adventure.

Packing for a European getaway is no easy feat, especially if it's your first time abroad or you only travel a couple of times a year. It requires planning-the right luggage, versatile outfits, comfortable shoes, and smart accessories all have to be considered-and you'll want to try to pack as lightly as possible. Depending on how you've structured your trip, you may be hopping on and off public transportation or climbing seemingly endless stairs,

It's a travel moment we've seen time and time again in the movies: opening up a grand set of French windows, stepping onto a wrought iron terrace, and gasping at a view of la tour Eiffel. While you might be hard-pressed to find a hotel room with an Eiffel Tower view that actually matches the picture, it's a bit easier to sniff through the fake on Airbnb.
