If you’re looking for a stress-free, scenic, and more sustainable way to travel from London to Marseille, then the Eurostar is the way to go. A flight might look quicker (London to Marseille is a 2-hour flight). But, once you add travel to the airport (and getting their 2 hours before your flights), baggage claim,…
Marseille is a vibrant port city in southern France, with a wealth of attractions, from its historic Old Port to the stunning Calanques National Park. The city is fairly compact but to explore its surrounding regions at your own pace, hiring a car is an excellent option. Most companies operate from Marseille Provence Airport (MRS)…
Lisbon is one of Europe’s most vibrant and charming cities, where colourful tiled buildings, historic trams, and scenic viewpoints create a unique atmosphere. It’s one of our favourite cities in Europe! Whether you’re wandering through the historic streets of Alfama, having a drink in a bar in town, or going surfing on Carcavelos Beach, there’s…
Slow travel is the simple idea that a trip feels better when you do less, stay longer, and actually get to know a place. Over the years we’ve swapped whirlwind itineraries for slower days: chatting to people in a pub, taking cooking classes in local homes, and using trains and buses to watch the countryside…

Brussels is compact, walkable and split into a few very different pockets: the storybook lanes around Grand Place, elegant Sablon, boutique-heavy Avenue Louise and…
Malta is packed with centuries of history, mixing Baroque architecture, ancient temples, and a hint of North African charm. There are so many different areas to stay on the island and with so many options it can be hard to find the best hotels in Malta. Malta’s compact size also makes it easy to hop…
We went to Lisbon towards the end of our tour of Portugal, and we loved it – its packed with things to do and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. It’s a modern and trendy city with plenty going on, but still packed with old-world charm and culture. It’s a maze…
We had a long weekend in Antwerp in October 2024, and didn’t know much about it before we left. We were very impressed – check out our full guide here – and especially impressed by the number and range of Antwerp museums! Antwerp is packed with art and history, with a museum for every interest….
When you think of Belgium, the first thoughts that probably come to mind are chocolates, waffles, and maybe Brussels or Bruges.
