The majestic Gothic cathedral dominates the skyline, while the winding streets of the old town are filled with boutiques, cafés, and hidden courtyards. Whether you choose to relax on golden sands or explore the island’s rugged coastline, Palma is a Mediterranean gem.
From the port of Livorno, explore the treasures of Tuscany. In Florence, marvel at masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery, cross the iconic Ponte Vecchio, and take in the beauty of the Duomo. Or, visit Pisa to see the world-famous Leaning Tower and charming piazzas. Whichever you choose, this stop is a feast for the senses.
Step into history in the Eternal City. From the ancient grandeur of the Colosseum to the spiritual splendour of St Peter’s Basilica, Rome is a living showcase of art, culture, and cuisine. Savour gelato on the Spanish Steps or simply soak up the atmosphere in one of its many beautiful piazzas.
Naples is the gateway to some of Italy’s most iconic sights. Visit the haunting ruins of Pompeii, take a boat to the glamorous island of Capri, or explore the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Closer to port, enjoy Naples’ lively streets and world-famous pizza, said to be the best in the world.
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.
