Swedish star Loreen having taken the top spot last year (and for the second time), Sweden tapped its handsome,  third-biggest city to again host the world’s largest, longest, and perhaps most anticipated/beloved music competition – this year´s 68th edition pulling in a worldwide television audience of some 200 million. And of course like its predecessors, this one got thousands of fans from some 90 countries to flock to Malmö and enjoy its myriad offerings. (I´m just not sure why they k

No matter what the temptation might be, our current situation allows us no scope to gather. A festival without a gathering is nothing but a festival without content. Northeast India has rightly earned its spot as the land of festivals. Northeast India, with its colorful tribes, sub-tribes, and its many expressive cultures fill the yearly calendar with myriad traditional festivals.

But of late, this region has also homegrown some festivals where art and its finer nuances finds the appropriate note

48 HOURS IN AMSTERDAM

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

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’s

Ibiza in its Summer Splendor

If you’ve been taking in any celebrity news of late, you’ve no doubt seen that Hollywood types have been especially thick on the ground over here this summer – famously featuring an almost punching out of Justin Bieber by Orlando Bloom at Ibiza Town‘s latest hot nightspot, Booom! Besides these two, other boldface names being being bandied about lately are Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Zac Efron, Leonardo di Caprio, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton.

But hereabouts this is par for the course, as Euro

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

JEWS OF ISTANBUL: frommerluxetravel

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

“When I was fifteen years old, I went to sea,” says Antony  Gilbert  (like a character in a Charles Dickens novel). We meet the handsome third navigation officer in the bridge of the Wind Star where he is on duty this second night of a cruise from Istanbul to Athens. The sky is clear and filled with stars.

“I try to explain what it’s like to be on the bridge on a night like this. But I can’t,” he tells us. “Sometimes when there’s a bright moon, there wi

Skating on Cool Ice


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:

A Luxury Weekend Getaway to London!

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

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 --

Feminism in Sacred Scriptures

Feminism in Migration – a ministry of the gospelTo-day there is much being said and written about feminism that stands on the edge of new possibilities for a common thread in our society. We live in the present time aware of many victims strewn across the pages of our history. These unfold though the ideology of patriarchy and the exploitation of the poor and oppressed.Recognising the need of feminism side by side with liberation theology, we can keep moving along the road to God’s righteousness

Sojourn in Munich, Germany

Münich: On the prowl for perspectiveStarting pointIndia’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, once said, “we live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” Like a distinctive flavor and running theme of my sojourn in Munich, Germany this summer 2008, I was drawn to think about the compelling chunk of that deep enthusiasm to see the city that is known for its multifaceted attraction
