Czeching out top day trips in Prague

Few cities can match Prague's over-the-top romance, evocative Old World charm…or its tourist crowds. To escape the masses and experience more of the real Czech Republic, take a bus or train ride outside of the city to see some of the many worthwhile sights just beyond. My three favorites are a rich medieval town, a sobering concentration camp memorial, and a grand Czech castle. Kutná Hora, a beautifully preserved and down-to-earth town, is just a one-hour direct train ride from […]

Tivoli: still Rome’s great escape two millennia later

When travel dreams take people to Europe, Italy is often their first stop. There's something seductively charming about this country, its people, and la dolce vita. I always feel at home in Italy, whether struggling onto a crowded bus in Rome, navigating the fun chaos of Naples, sipping a cocktail in a Venetian bar, or sitting on the banister of Florence's Ponte Vecchio for a midnight street-music concert. But I also seek escapes from Italy's urban intensity. When I'm visiting Rome, […]

Best place for kidding around in Europe

I'm often inspired by families on the road. Last summer, on a ferry between Scotland's Oban and the Isle of Mull, I met a family from Texas. The parents were taking their kids on a year-long adventure through Europe and told me how they'd realized there's no better education or quality family time than traveling together — and I wholeheartedly agree. The key is balancing educational sightseeing with fun activities. After years of traveling with me around Europe, my kids […]

Bratislava: Slovakia’s capital makes a remarkable comeback

Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia and once a nearly desolate ghost town, is one of the big surprises of my recent travels. Its compact old town bursts with colorfully restored facades, lively outdoor cafés, and swanky boutiques. Its ramshackle industrial quarter, just east of the center, is rapidly being redeveloped into a forest of skyscrapers. The hilltop castle gleams from a recent facelift. And even the glum communist-era suburb of Petržalka, right across the Danube, has undergone a Technicolor makeover. […]

Iceland’s steamiest geothermal sights

Iceland, formed long ago by volcanoes, is known for its otherworldly landscape, with steaming fields and percolating mud. The volcanic activity produces naturally heated water, which Icelanders have cleverly harnessed not just as an energy source, but for thermal baths and pools. Geothermal experiences — both visual and immersive — are worth seeking out on a visit here. Wandering through the colorful terrain of a geothermal field is a classic Icelandic treat. The most visited geothermal sight is Geysir, home […]

Tasty and convival tapas in Spain

When it comes to eating in Spain, I love gathering around the table or bar for tapas — a parade of small dishes served family-style. I never tire of them. The experience is like an edible scavenger hunt, where I collect small portions of seafood, salads, meat-filled pastries, and deep-fried tasties, and piece them together for a light evening meal. My tapas memories are vivid: In the heart of Spain's Andalucía region, on a warm summer evening, I elbow up […]

Utah, France: Visiting the other American D-Day beach

Most Americans visiting France's D-Day sites focus, understandably, on Omaha Beach — where thousands died on June 6, 1944. But if you're planning to visit Normandy, don't miss the other American landing site: Utah. It's the westernmost of the five sectors of the Norman coast given code names by the Allies (with British and Canadian troops landing at Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach). Utah Beach, added as a landing site late in D-Day planning, proved critical. This was […]

The incredible edibles of Belgium

Whenever I think of Belgium, I recall digging into a dish of mussels while seated on a sunny square in Brussels, in the shadow of a lacy medieval spire. My waiter bragged, "In Belgium, we eat as hearty as the Germans and as fine as the French." Belgium is where France meets northern Europe — and you can taste the cultural influences. The Flemish (Dutch-speaking natives of Flanders — now northern Belgium) were ruled by the dukes of Burgundy, and […]

Souvenir shopping in Europe? Lighten up

Shopping in Europe can be fun, but don't let it overwhelm your trip. On one guided tour of the British Houses of Parliament I saw half the group skip out on the tour to survey an enticing array of plastic "bobby" hats, Big Ben briefs, and Union Jack panties instead. Focus on local experiences, and don't let your trip become a glorified shopping spree. As a fanatic about packing light, I used to wait until the end of my trip […]
