Bone Voyage: Exploring Europe’s Cemeteries and Crypts
Over the years, I’ve popped into a lot of burial grounds—some peaceful and scenic, some eerie and evocative—with all revealing compelling stories of the past. Every time spooky season approaches, I think back on some of my favorite European cemeteries and crypts.

How to Best Enjoy Venice
“Globalization and modern life are changing Venice,” writes travel pro Rick Steves, but it still holds many charms. He recommends how to best enjoy Venice, the city on the lagoon. I’ve been traveling to Venice for more than 40 years. On a recent trip to research my guidebook, I had to admit: the city felt different. While still one of Europe’s most romantic and distinctive destinations, globalization and modern life are changing Venice – for better and for worse.

Every time spooky season approaches, I think back on some of my favorite European cemeteries and crypts. Over the years, I've popped into a lot of burial grounds – some peaceful and scenic, some eerie and evocative – with all revealing compelling stories of the past. While some high-profile places – such as the catacombs in Rome or Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris – get a lot of press, many lesser-known sights are worth visiting, too. These are some of my favorites.

Every time spooky season approaches, I think back on some of my favorite European cemeteries and crypts. Over the years, I’ve popped into a lot of burial grounds — some peaceful and scenic, some eerie and evocative — all revealing compelling stories of the past. While some high-profile places — such as the catacombs in Rome or Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris — get a lot of press, many lesser-known sights offer equally intriguing ways to commune with Europeans long gone.

Rick Steves’ Europe: Picnic like a pro in Europe
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... By Rick Steves As a budget traveler, there’s no better experience than a picnic sourced from a local market and then eaten outdoors with a lively square, peaceful park, or rejuvenated harborfront as a backdrop. Picnicking is simply the best way to enjoy Europe’s edible specialties economically. You’ll eat better while spending less than half as much as those who eat exclusively in restaurants.
Take a Hike in Bigfork, Montana
Montana’s Bigfork is a picturesque town surrounded by natural beauty and recreation. Nick Thomas invites us to take a hike in Bigfork. Bigfork is one of those quaint picturesque Montana towns that city folk visit once and never want to leave. Surrounded by Flathead Lake, the Swan River, and soaring mountain peaks, the town of just 5,000 attracts visitors throughout the year for its peaceful natural setting, boating, fishing, skiing, and its surprisingly vibrant cultural reputation.
St. Andrews: Hit the Links, Books, and Beach
St. Andrews has been a tourist destination for centuries—in part because of its important role in Scottish history. Tiny St. Andrews has a huge reputation, known around the world as the birthplace and royal seat of golf. The chance to play on the world’s oldest course—or at least take in the iconic view of its 18th hole—keeps the town perennially popular among golfing pilgrims. But any visitor to Scotland should consider at least a short stop in this scenic, intriguingly historic university town.

You can experience the soul of Spain in Andalucia’s hill towns - HeraldNet.com
When my travel dreams drift off to Spain, they often include visions of Andalucia, the southern part of the country that feels so quintessentially Spanish. With a string of whitewashed hill towns, sunny skies, vibrant festivals and tempting tapas, Andalucia is the soul of Spain — almost stereotypically so. Most tourists hit Andalucia’s three great cities — Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla — or the Costa del Sol.
Cobbles and castles in Germany’s Bavarian Alps - HeraldNet.com
Like so many travelers, my images of Germany — cute villages, dirndls and lederhosen, and fairy-tale castles — are from Bavaria, in the foothills of the Alps. You could easily spend a week here, soaking up culture as you bike along fragrant fields and tour the sights. My favorite home bases for exploring the Bavarian Alps are Fussen and Reutte (just over the border in Austria).
Cruise control: How to sail smartly in Europe - HeraldNet.com
I’ve spent the last several decades exploring Europe from every conceivable angle. And this includes checking out Europe the way millions of people do — from a cruise ship. I’m not out to promote or put down cruising. For some people it’s a great choice, and for others it’s not. On the plus side, cruising can be economical, with transportation, a room and meals all included in one price. It can be ideal for those who want their vacation logistics taken care of.
Güzelyurt, la beauté discrète d’une autre Turquie
Située aux confins de la Cappadoce rurale, Güzelyurt compte parmi mes plus belles découvertes dans cette région aussi étrange que fascinante du centre de la Turquie. La petite ville se trouve au bord de la vallée d’Ihlara, à quelque 56 kilomètres de Nevşehir, la capitale régionale. Elle est surtout connue en Turquie pour la coexistence pacifique de communautés longtemps ennemies: Grecs, Turcs, Kurdes et Bulgares.
