Bratislava might not be the first city on your Central Europe hit list, but it should be. Compact, quirky, and quietly beautiful, Slovakia's capital is the kind of place that surprises you in the best way.
Bratislava is small but mighty. Tucked along the Danube between Vienna and Budapest, this laid-back capital has a ton of charm packed into a very walkable centre. If you only have a day to explore, don't stress. You can still see a lot without breaking...
Belgrade is a city that doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s bold, raw, occasionally beautiful, occasionally baffling - and rarely boring. I spent five days exploring Belgrade, and came away with mixed feelings that still sit with me today.
Belgrade is a city that makes you feel things – not always softly, and not always what you expect. It’s bold, rough-edged, and full of contrasts. You’ll see a gleaming new promenade and, five minutes later, a crumbling brutalist block covered in graffiti. It’s not...

Greenwich is one of those London neighbourhoods that quietly overdelivers. Set on a gentle curve of the Thames, it feels greener, calmer, and more spacious than much of the city, yet it’s packed with history, world-class museums, and some of London’s best views.
Planning a trip to London this winter? Packing for London in winter is a fine art. The weather changes every five minutes, the rain doesn’t always show up on the forecast, and somehow you’ll need to walk five miles a day and look halfway decent...
