I love Spain but the Balearic Islands have never featured in my holiday ‘top 10’ wish list. Friends have tried to convince me that Mallorca is a great destination, extolling the virtues of its beautiful coastal scenery and pretty villages. But I wasn’t to be swayed. Perhaps it […]
Standing on top of Edinburgh’s Calton Hill is an exhilarating experience. It’s by far the best place to get a sweeping panoramic view of Scotland’s capital city. There are fabulous bird’s-eye views of Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns, the Firth of Forth and the city’s docks in the far […]
Spain’s brilliant white villages sparkle in the sunshine as you drive through Andalucia’s wild landscapes. They’re a sight to behold as they shimmer in the distance – timeless and mesmerising. These ‘Pueblos Blancos’ are white-washed villages built in traditional Moorish style, often perched on imposing hill tops overlooking the […]
Cordoba is one of Spain’s most beautiful Andalucian cities but it can be overlooked by tourists travelling to its ‘noisy neighbours’, Seville and Granada. It’s a great shame because Cordoba makes for a fantastic city break. This vibrant city is stuffed with history, culture and intriguing places to […]
Seville is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Lying in the heart of Andalucia, it makes for a perfect long weekend break with its heady mix of world-class architecture, artistic treasures, flamenco and great food. It’s an easy getaway from the UK with flights taking under three hours which means that […]
Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]
There’s a new kid on the block in London – the Tate Modern’s stylish Switch House. With its striking pyramid, stylish galleries and stunning panoramic views across London, this is a must-see attraction for many tourists this summer. Rising up from the rear of the old Tate’s Turbine Hall, it’s the most important new cultural […]
If you’ve visited Denmark on holiday, it’s likely you travelled to Copenhagen, the country’s most popular tourist destination. But now Copenhagen has a rival for the affections of tourists. Aarhus on the country’s east coast is fast becoming a super cool city, beloved of hipsters, culture vultures and those seeking a weekend […]
You could be forgiven for thinking that Snowshill Manor is your average stately home when you approach the house through its carefully manicured gardens. In reality, this is one of the Britain’s weirdest country houses. Once inside, you’ll discover a manor house packed with extraordinary and eclectic treasures collected by its eccentric owner, Charles Wade. As we buy our […]
New York’s famous skyline is changing as a new breed of skyscrapers springs up across Manhattan. I discovered towering luxury apartments designed for the super-rich are booming when I visited the city last month. ‘Super high rise’ properties selling for more than £64 million are common. This is New York for […]
