Start with a few days immersed in San Francisco’s neighbourhoods, food and waterfront, then swap city life for Hawaii, where days revolve around beaches, scenic drives and being outdoors. It’s a journey that builds naturally, moving from iconic sights to wide open landscapes, with enough structure to make it easy and enough freedom to make it feel like your own.
Spend five nights in San Francisco, staying right on Union Square with the city’s best known areas within easy reach. Ride the cable cars, wander through Chinatown and North Beach, and spend time along the waterfront at Fisherman’s Wharf and the Embarcadero. You can cross the bay by ferry, walk neighbourhood to neighbourhood, or simply spend an afternoon café hopping and people watching. It’s a city that rewards curiosity and works perfectly as a first stop before heading west.
From San Francisco, fly on to Kauai, often described as Hawaii’s most scenic island. Stay in Poipu, close to beaches and coastal walks, with easy access to Waimea Canyon and viewpoints along the Na Pali Coast. Days here are about getting outside, whether that’s swimming, walking coastal paths or stopping at lookouts and quiet beaches you stumble across along the way. Evenings are relaxed, with local restaurants and sunset walks close by.
Finish the journey in Maui, starting in Kaanapali before moving south to Wailea. In Kaanapali, long sandy beaches and snorkelling spots are right on your doorstep, with lively beachfront areas for sunset drinks and dinners. One evening includes a guided trip to the summit of Haleakala for sunset, a standout experience without the stress of navigating mountain roads yourself.
Later, a guided Hana Rainforest experience takes you along one of Hawaii’s most talked about routes, passing waterfalls, rainforest and dramatic coastline. The final nights in Wailea are ideal for slowing things down, with calm beaches and coastal paths perfect for an easy end to the trip.

Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
Summer might get most of the attention, but autumn can be one of the most rewarding times of year to travel. Cooler temperatures make days outdoors more comfortable, landscapes shift into rich seasonal colours, and many destinations settle into a quieter rhythm once the peak summer crowds have gone. That’s where the ‘cool-cation’ comes in. Instead of chasing the heat, these trips are all about crisp mountain air, lakeside walks, dramatic scenery, cosy food, and the kind of weather that makes you want to pull on another layer and keep exploring. From the Italian Alps to the Canadian Rockies, here are seven destinations that come into their own in autumn.
