Heads are turned. It’s golden hour in the Eternal City and I’m listening intently to instructions that normal people aren't typically exposed to: keep moving at all times, ignore red lights, ignore all other road users. Shortly I’ll be a thorn...

I don’t know that I necessarily agree with Michael Schulz’s characterisation of Berlin as ‘ugly’ — I mean, it’s not exactly a total dump like , is it? Still, it’s not hard see what he means when he says the German capital and the new...

Villa Terminus offers 18 design-led guest rooms on Norway’s dramatic western coast. Perhaps Bergen’s most sophisticated boutique hotel, it’s also local hotel group De Bergenske’s smallest. Not that size matters here. Capturing the...
