Hurghada, Luxor & Marsa Alam

Like so many of the towns and cities of Egypt, Hurghada, Luxor and Marsa Alam are living history museums. The three cities are positioned as corners of a triangle in the Eastern Desert. Hurghada, a former fishing harbour, stretches 24 kilometres along the waterfront and is the perfect area for water sports. Marsa Alam is found by the Red Sea coast and tourism is just starting to make an impact. The city of Luxor, with its jaw-droppingly beautiful monuments built by the hands of ancient craftsmen, lies 240 kilometres inland on the banks of the River Nile.

Madeira

With exceptional natural beauty, a mild climate throughout the year, a friendly population, and a top-quality hotel network, Madeira and Porto Santo, the two inhabited islands of the Madeira archipelago, are the perfect islands for those seeking stress-free holidays. Here you can enjoy your holiday on the beach or at sea, in the mountains, in the countryside, or in the city–the perfect spot for a getaway to experience unique moments like nowhere else.

Copenhagen

Often ranked among the best cities to live in, Copenhagen is a Nordic haven where the concept of 'hygge', embracing cosiness and contentment, permeates every corner.

Jump on a bike and wander through its charming neighbourhoods, discover innovative architecture, savour world-class cuisine, and recharge your batteries in one of its many green spaces.

Le Cap d'Agde Méditerranée, France

Autumn and winter colours

Discover the destination with all the gorgeous colours of autumn, it is also a place worth discovering.

Bloomington, Minnesota

Bloomington’s crown jewel is the vast Mall of America — a 2.5-million-square-foot playground where shopping, dining , and entertainment collide. Ride roller coasters at Nickelodeon Universe, try axe-throwing, or explore new additions like FlyOver America. Just minutes from Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, the city also surprises with nature: hike the Minnesota River trails or spot wildlife in the 14,000-acre National Wildlife Refuge. Just next to the Twin Cities, urban convenience meets outdoor escape.

Trapani

Trapani is one of the most romantic places in Sicily, and arguably all of the Mediterranean littoral. Characterised by long stretches of coast and coastal plains, this city is littered with lavish monuments and palaces, historical sites, windmills, near islands and a countryside that begs to be explored. By night, the region should be enjoyed over a glass of Marsala wine and fine food at a beachside restaurant, ideally facing west so one can enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets in Europe.

Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela has been a centre for culture and scholarship for centuries, most famous for being the end destination of a thousand-year-old pilgrimage: El Camino de Santiago, or the Way of Saint James. Being the capital of the Galician region in north-western Spain, everyday life in Santiago is modern and chic. Awarded recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage City in 1985, Santiago de Compostela is a historical gem and one of the most impressive cities in Spain.
