Visiting South Africa's biggest, most bustling city, there’s so much to draw you in besides the standard “sightseeing”. It’s a hotbed of urban artists, as well as hybrid architecture and history of districts such as Jeppestown, that make Johannesburg one of this vast continent’s most colourful and diverse destinations.

And with over 60,000 gay couples in all of Brazil, the str

It isn't often that Frankfurt tops the list of Germany's must-visit cities due to its often misunderstood reputation as a staid financial services center. One of Frankfurt's most visible distinctions contributing to stereotypes like this is its impressive skyline most dramatically viewed from MaiN ToWer's rooftop observation platform. While World War II bombings obliterated downtown's original architectural treasures and footprint, they also gave the city a clean slate for reconstruction largely

Not all that long ago, Colombia’s second largest metro area was sadly synonymous with rampant drug-related violence, the notorious narco-lord Pablo Escobar, and the Medellín Cartel. This new century, though, has seen a remarkable renaissance – noted throughout the world - that has left all that a receding memory (except maybe for a few tours that focus on the sites and stories of the bad old days). These days, as I have discovered on three visits – I truly can’t seem to get e

Since our time was so limited, she suggested a brief tour of Brady Street, one of the oldest neighborhoods, original

Like migratory birds, more than 70 eminent authors and thinkers from across the globe just gathered in London this past May 20-21 for what has become an annual fixture, the Jaipur Literature Festival. The venue was different this year, because its traditional base at the Southbank centre had been taken over by the Karachi Literary Festival in what looked like a case of one-upmanship. So this year's gathering took place at the British Library, which was certainly an appropriate alternative venue

New Hampshire is synonymous with classic country inns, each reflecting their distinct personalities shaped by topography, property history, and innkeepers. Adair Country Inn & Restaurant, situated within the borders of White Mountain National Park in Bethlehem, is a perfect example surrounded by its very own 200-plus acres of meadow and forest land interlaced with a network of old carriage roads and hiking trails.

Hey, can you by any chance name a Danish city outside of Copenhagen? Most likely not. Your loss, really, because Denmark's second largest, for example, is a truly charming bit of business called Aarhus, (pop. 265,000, larger metro area 330,000), on the coast of the Jutland peninsula a three-hour drive (or three-and-a-half-hour train ride) from the capital. So charming - and cultured, in fact - that it's been named a European Capital of Culture for 2017.

One of the world’s most romantic and dramatic ancient archaeological sites, Peru’s spectacularly sited “lost city of the Incas” (though in reality an elaborate estate of 15th-century Incan emperor Pachacutec) up in the Andes a three-hour train ride from Cuzco, has become so popular that in effect it’s being loved to death. With an average of more than 3,300 visitors per day in recent years, its hundreds of terraces, pathways, plazas, and buildings spread over 125 square miles (325
