Local transport and your own two feet are by far the best way to get around in European cities, but there’s one region you’ll want a hire-car.
My wife and I plan to travel to Portugal and Spain in May and June for six weeks. We’re flying into Madrid and then travelling through northern Spain, Portugal, Granada and back to Madrid. What’s the best transport between cities, staying three to four days in each? Tossing up between hiring a car or using trains.If you plan to see only the great cities you don’t want a car.
We are a group of eight friends meeting in Sorrento in September 2025. Travelling to the island of Ischia for seven nights, looking for accommodation at about $200-$250 a night. Which area is best to stay in? What transportation is available? And what are the must-see or do attractions?Forio, the largest of the six main towns on Ischia, is a great choice.
My wife and I are travelling to Northern Europe next May, staying in Amsterdam for six days and Bruges for three days. Could you advise of some highlights?In Amsterdam, take a canal cruise and then head for Museumplein for a full immersion in some of the world’s greatest galleries of art. The Rijksmuseum has the best collection of works by Dutch masters Rembrandt and Vermeer while the neighbouring Van Gogh Museum has some of the best-known works by the legendary Dutch Post-Impressionist.
In Bruges you might start off with a boat trip along the canals, preferably on a sunny day. Next explore the Markt, the old market square lined with pavement cafes beneath step-gabled facades. The Groeninge Museum has an outstanding collection of pre-Renaissance works from the 15th century, a time when Bruges was one of the great trading ports of Northern Europe. The Museum Sint-Janshospitaal is one of Europe’s best preserved medieval buildings.
My husband and I are planning a holiday in Indonesia and we are looking for an island with a strong culture where we can relax and explore. Does Flores fit the bill, and how do we get there?Flores, the largest Indonesia island in the archipelago east of Bali, is a great choice, especially for independent-minded travellers looking for something out of the ordinary.
