    7 Unromantic Things That Happened on Valentine’s Day

    There’s no shortage of cynicism when it comes to Valentine’s Day in the 21st century however, and the anti-romance lot might be looking for some ammo when it comes to dragging others back down to their curmudgeonly level. There’s more to 14 February than amorous longing, and history is full of events both good and bad that took place on the day of Saint Valentine, who also happens to be the patron saint of beekeepers and epilepsy.

  • 17 of the Best Cities for Digital Nomads around the World

    We’ll start with the disclaimer we started with when giving our recent rundown of the best cities for digital nomads in Europe, namely: ‘digital nomad’ is a wretched term, and the sooner it is expunged from the history books, the better. Our dreams are unlikely to be realised, what with the establishment of the ‘digital [...]

  • The ‘Big Five’ Film Festivals

    The Big Five film festivals represent the pinnacle of cinematic achievement on a global scale.

  • Most Searched Holiday Destinations from 2021-2023

    First things first, the title you just read above, and what presumably brought you clicking through to this page, is something of a misnomer, as the 10 countries listed below were not the most searched for holiday destinations in absolute terms the past two years, but rather those that saw the largest increase in searches.

  • Most Relaxing Destinations in Europe

    A Hilton report claims that travel in 2024 will be all about relaxation - labelling it the 'Year of the Great Recharge' - and who are we to doubt a giant American multinational luxury hotel chain? It may be our rapidly advancing years, but we are all on board. In this chaotic modern world of [...]

  • Best European Cities for Digital Nomads

    We’ll start with a disclaimer; ‘digital nomad’ is a wretched term, and the sooner it is expunged from the history books, the better. Our dreams are unlikely to be realised, what with the establishment of the ‘digital nomad visa’, so we must accept the reality of the world as it plays out in front of [...]

  • Best Amusement Parks in Europe

    While we risk our position as travel soothsayers by admitting it, there was a time when we worried that the amusement park was heading to the bin of history. More fool us, of course, as humans will never tire of being hurled around at ridiculous speeds in ridiculous directions on roller coasters and rides with [...]

  • Winners of the European Green Capital Award

    We are about to embark on more than 1,500 words of sustainability, eco-awareness and good intentions, so we’ll keep this introduction relatively short. Welcome to the complete history of the European Green Capital Award! The title does an excellent job explaining what it is, namely a designation awarded to a different European city every year [...]

  • The 23 Best Cycling Cities in Europe

    Was it George Orwell who famously wrote that two wheels are better than four? Come to think of it, didn’t an alarmingly anthropomorphic swine say it? Was that a fever dream? It doesn’t matter, but what does matter is Europe is trying its little heart out to make cities more accessible for those intrepid warriors [...]

  • The Most Hipster Cities in Europe

    We’re listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor as we type this (the last minute of ‘Job’s Lament’, at this very moment, the bit where it all comes together), so feel free to dismiss any criticism we might conjure up across the next 1,000 or so words. Hipster culture has come full circle, completing the lifespan [...]

    European Capitals of Culture Revisited (2001-2010)

    It’s no secret that for most of the world (save a handful of billionaires and some crypto cowboys) 2020 was a year to forget, or at least one that won’t be looked back on fondly in years to come. This is especially true for those of us in the tourism sector. However, for a handful of destinations around the world, the global pandemic and ensuing shutdown of virtually all travel was doubly difficult. More

  • The Benefits of Choosing Local Car Rental Companies in Iceland

    When planning your adventure in Iceland, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is how to get around. Public transportation is limited outside the capital, and guided tours may not offer the flexibility you want. That’s why most travelers opt for renting a car.

  • Travelling through Greece. What Remains of the Ancients?

    There were Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, only one remains standing - the 4,000-year-old Great Pyramid at Giza. The human aspects of the planet erode just like the fields and hills they stand upon, leaving just over a single per cent of our history preserved for future generations. Yet, regardless of age, some [...]
