Your Go-To For Travel Inspiration

The South of France tends to conjure visions of postcard-perfect coastlines, dazzling luxury resorts, and a polished sense of style that marries old-world glamour with Mediterranean ease. That reputation largely derives from the French Riviera, or Côte d’Azur, the iconic span of coastline that stretches from Toulon to Menton, including the country of Monaco.  

The English countryside is all about slowing down to the cadence of crackling fires, long walks through damp meadows, and afternoon pints that stretch into the evening. There is a deeply settled sense of history in dry-stone walls dotted across the hillsides, in the ancient footpaths that cut across private estates, and in the way a local pub feels like the center of village life.  

Montenegro takes a moment to place on a map, but it refuses to leave your mind once you've been. It is, by European standards, tiny—you can drive its length in under three hours—yet it compresses an unlikely range of terrain into that small frame: an Adriatic coastline of medieval walled towns and yacht-filled bays, a karst interior that drops into deep river canyons, and a mountainous north where the winters are long and the villages have been largely left to their own devices. 

Rooftop bars offer more than just a good drink—they give you a different perspective on a city. From London to Lisbon, Reykjavik to Zurich, these 10 rooftops stand out for their location, design, and sense of place—not to mention their cocktails. 

Seoul is where centuries-old tradition meets cutting-edge modernity, creating a city that’s constantly in motion yet rooted in culture.  

 Iceland feels like a destination in constant motion, where fire and ice shape nearly every experience. Dramatic waterfalls, expansive glaciers, and black-sand beaches are landscape highlights.  

 Japan takes everything to an entirely new level. It takes good things — sushi, art, design, pizza, hospitality, coffee, shopping — and makes them great. Even the country’s 7/11’s are immaculate, and make perfect settings for a quick, gourmet meal.
