The name of Montreal's Golden Square Mile (aka Le Mille Carré), a square mile of signature historic blocks at the heart of downtown at the foot of Mount Royal, traces its origins back to 1950s real estate developers promoting the area's prosperity. Today, "golden" more aptly describes the stellar array of attractions available within such a small radius.
In 1983, only 30 percent of the district's historic buildings survived the wrecking ball due to its convenient overlap with downtown but thanks

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most popular city break destinations. It may not get as many visitors as Paris, Barcelona or London but it still gets a huge amount. Once you get there, it is evident how popular Amsterdam is, especially on weekends. There is a clear contrast in popularity between mid-week and weekends there. Now, I realize that a high percentage of these cit

After Europe and the USA, significant chunks of Latin America have seen, despite the traditionally conservative nature of Latin society, the greatest world advancement in LGBTQ acceptance and rights – even including the freedom to marry in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay.
All of that makes the diversity and sheer excitement of this part of the world even more appealing to gay people across the board, but there are a select few desti
When it comes to cities in Cuba, capital Havana does hog a disproportionate share of the attention – and it’s not hard to understand why. But at the southeastern tip of this island country, 540 miles (870 kilometres) from the capital, is another which amply deserves to be part of any visit to Cuba. One of the first of many settlements in the Americas to be named after mother country Spain’s revered pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela, the bayside port of Santiago de Cuba is this country’

We will always remember it as the spring when it rained without end in New York, while in London, the sun shone brightly day after day. And we were at the Ritz.
Is there a place that compares to the London Ritz? The arcaded lane bordering Piccadilly; the mansard roof with its multiple chimneys; the Grand Gallery spanning the ground floor from the glass-domed rotunda at one end to the restaurant overlooking Green Park at the other; the succession of Roman arches and g
Over the past decades years, we have written about Jewish life and history in places we have visited ranging from Finland to Scotland to the Azores. But the resurgence of a Jewish consciousness and presence throughout Spain, a process of collective remembering we witnessed in eight journeys starting in 1993, was the theme we were drawn to more than any other. |
Last June, we spent eight days in Istanbul where the story of Iberian Jewry took off just as the one in Spain seemingly ended some 500 yea

You don’t necessarily have to ski or snowboard to have fun playing outside during winter travel– nor do you even need a mountain! Right in the middle of many urban destinations, renting a pair of skates and mingling with the locals is a fabulous way of getting both exercise and often a spectacular new perspective on old cities. Here are some of my top choices:
Boston
In the northern zone of the 50 groomed acres (20 hectares) of the USA’s oldest park, the Boston Common Frog Pond offers a fu
According to Forbes and other sources, London has become the most visited city in the world. If you are one of the many planning to travel there, let us recommend a charming boutique hotel which is reputed to be the essence of "Englishness" - discreet, personal, friendly, interesting, lavish, down-to-earth, brilliantly managed and with its own distinct personality - the Athenaeum Hotel and Apartments. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff of the Athenaeum. In the heart of elegant Mayfair,

Jamaica
A private cook for one week in our villa in Montego Bay
We went to Jamaica before the high season. Round Hill in Montego Bay was not yet open, except for villas occupied by permanent residents. General Manager Michael Kemp gave us a two-bedroom villa, with its own pool, for seven days. Because its restaurants were not yet operating, he arranged for us to have a cook who made family-style Jamaican meals. We had cocktails with a very proper British re
On the second leg of my business trip across the U.S. Southeast, I needed to make a stop in Durham, North Carolina for a couple of days. I was looking for a suite-type hotel with plenty of room to stretch out that…
- was conveniently located near my appointments
- had an in-room kitchen so I could do some cooking
- had on-premises laundry facilities
A number of properties fit the bill, including Homewood Suites in Durham, Springhill Suites in Durham, and Residence Inn in Chapel Hill. They all seemed acc
How would you spend a weekend getaway in London? That very question was posed to us by Virgin Atlantic, which challenged us to design a dream itinerary for two days of gallivanting in London, one of the world's most exciting and attraction-rich cities, and a favorite of BonVoyageurs since we first moved to the Greater London area with our baby daughter and our French cat in the late 1970s.
To make the dream weekend in London even more interesting, Virgin Atlantic sent us a travel bag of inspira
Miami’s South Beach is the quintessential “party capital of America.” But what if your goals run more toward sun-drenched beaches and culture? On a recent sojourn to SoBe, I had the opportunity to stay in the elegant and refined “colonial grand dame” of Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel. In the crowded South Beach hotel space, the Betsy stands out like no other. Sure the Delano, National, Shore Club and more attract a vast amount of attention, but it is the boutique Betsy, that is my rationale for a
FROM ALICANTE TO MALAGA. The journey starts with a heavy walk. I am in Alicante, the south Spanish city along the Mediterranean, which has an old fortress looming on a hilltop, which I attempt to climb. The fortress is called Castillo Santa Bárbara. And the air is hot.
Being May, summer is already well under way in this part of Europe. But the wind is blowing nicely and the view up here on the hill over sea, city and the mountains beyond is incredible. Down below, narrow streets and alleys are wi
Once again, Diego was right. Actually, Jake thought blearily, these days Diego seemed elevated to frickin' oracle. Who knew? When they were at NYU together, the doofus was far less into books than pranks, from cute-but-harmless to dangerously dumbass. Like the time - a decade pre-Occupy - he'd sent out a press release from “the Coalition to Arm the Homeless” and the resulting brouhaha snowballed until their dorm was besieged with reporters from CNN, the Post, AP, even the London fucking Times --
I cannot believe I am in Beirut.
There is a National Geographic adventure show titled Don’t Tell My Mother. That is how I feel. The name just brings up memories of not so far in the past wars and such. However, at the end of 2010, Beirut is a prosperous and peaceful city. I do not know where the money comes from. This is not an OPEC country. But there is a lot of money on the streets of Beirut. The little research I did indicates the the diaspora from the 1975 to 1990 war has created an influx of
In the spring of 2008 we took at 9 day trip to Barcelona and Paris and it was one of the best trips we ever took. We flew from Minneapolis to Newark and then Newark to Barcelona.
We landed in Barcelona and headed to drop off bags and explore the city before we could check into the hotel. We spent a few hours wandering around La Rambla and checked out the market.
We stayed at the Le Meridian near the Ramblas and really enjoyed being able to walk to all the sights and tapas restaurant. Lonely Planet
On one very special eve in July, the 'La Notte Rosa' or 'Pink Night' sees the entire Italian Riviera di Rimini transform into a pink party paradise. The dawn to dusk celebrations are coined as Italy's summer New Years Eve party. It is among Italy's top 5 festivals.
On the first or second weekend in July, the entire 40 km coast line turns pink. The town's shop windows, trees, ancient buildings, fountains and even the river glow pink.The moonlit sky does not escape the ‘tickled pink' treatment. The
