Budapest
Astounding architecture greets you at every corner of Budapest, while the network of hot springs below the streets means there’s no shortage of relaxing thermal baths. Spend time wandering the medieval quarter of Buda, hopping from one historic café to the next in Pest, exploring the unique Memento Park with its fallen Communist statues, or kicking back in a ruin pub.

Epic and idyllic, Norway is home to some of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes. Follow in the footsteps of the Norse Vikings as you explore dazzling coastline, majestic fjords and frozen wilderness.

Wild swimming in Silkeborg Lake District, enjoying a romantic bike ride around Bornholm, or marvelling at the Northern Lights in Greenland – Denmark was made for outdoor adventuring.

From lofty volcanoes to humid wetlands, pristine snowy wilderness to cactus-studded desert, the USA encompasses a landscape as diverse as it is large. This spectacular scenery always rewards exploration, whether you prefer to hike the Grand Canyon, kayak around the arcadian Florida Keys or drive the Pacific Coast Highway. New York City leads a host of sensational cities, but the rural towns also hold their own quaint charisma.

View BookCrete
Most visitors are attracted by Crete’s golden sands and glistening waters. Others come here to trace Crete’s history and culture – to explore timeless archaeological sites like Ancient Knossos. Adventurers are drawn to Crete’s wild and unspoiled interior – to hike the length of Samaria Gorge or cycle through the Amari Valley at the foot of Mount Idi. Meanwhile, foodies flock to farm-shops, wineries and traditional tavernas to taste wholesome local produce.

The stunning island monastery of Mont-St-Michel, the Gothic masterpiece of Rouen cathedral and the tale of the Norman conquest of England depicted in the exquisite Bayeux Tapestry are just some of the highlights that make Normandy such an absorbing destination. The vast beaches and rolling countryside signal that natural splendour is rife here, too. Of course, the attention of many visitors will no doubt be diverted by the fabulous seafood, pungent cheeses and heady cider.
