Rome is an eternal city, but the time to visit it is anything but eternal – especially if you enter it without a plan, like we did. We naively believed that while having coffee in the sun, we would just casually pop into a museum, stop for pizza in the Vatican on the way, and in the evening spontaneously choose a romantic restaurant with a view. Spoiler: we didn't. Hence this entry – for all of you who haven't been to Rome (yet) and would like to enjoy it there, not just cruise wearily through the mistakes we made. 
Ah, Sorrento – here I am now, in this October time of 2025, as autumn slowly turns to winter, and I say to myself: “Why would I ever go home?” It’s not just another seaside village in southern Italy; it’s like an old love that surprises you with a new trick, now without the summer madness. I came for the view of Vesuvius, and I’ll leave with the taste of lemons and memories that smell of salt. If you’re looking for a place where time moves slowly but the heart beats faster – especially now, when the crowds are bearable and the weather is still lovely – you’ve found the right one. 
The Maltese capital, Valletta, has been crowned the best place to live in Europe by Condé Nast Traveller magazine for 2025. But is life in this sunny Mediterranean gem really like a postcard – or does it come at a price (hint: it does, and it’s a real one)? 
Rome – a city where history whispers from every street, where classical ruins and Renaissance masterpieces intertwine with Vespa and the smell of espresso. And if you only have 48 hours? No worries, we have prepared the perfect must-see tour that will reveal the greatest charms of Rome and the Vatican - without unnecessary stress, but with plenty of “Mamma mia!” moments. 
Stars may still be synonymous with culinary prestige, but now Michelin's space cousin is replacing them with something new – the Michelin Key, a unique recognition for the best hotels in the world. It's not about how many pillows are on the bed or whether the room has a pool view, but about something much more subtle: the soul of a place. A hotel with a key is not just accommodation – it's a destination in itself. 
Ryanair, the popular low-cost airline provocateur, has thrown a bone in the wheels of public opinion again. From November 12, 2025, paper airline tickets will become a relic of the past – unless you’re flying to Albania or Morocco, where they apparently still swear by the magic of paper. Passengers will now have to save their boarding passes in the Ryanair app, which has sparked a tsunami of criticism, especially among those who don’t use smartphones or who fight them like the final boss in a video game. But is this really a technological advance or just another attempt by Ryanair to get on our nerves? 
Late summer has its own rhythm. The days are still bathed in sunshine, but the world is no longer blinded by the euphoria of heat. Nature is calming down in golden hues, tourists are slowly disappearing from postcards, the air becomes softer, more fragrant, more personal. This is a time for those who are looking for more than just a break – they are looking for an experience. A time when you can afford that luxurious silence that is often swallowed up by crowds and self-serve cocktail palm trees in summer. Villa Don Giordano offers just that. 
On the island of Rab (Croatia), which has been called felix Arba – happy Rab since Roman times – there is a place hidden among the fragrant pine trees and the emerald sea that surpasses all notions of a perfect holiday. Arba Resort Valamar is not just a hotel. It is an orchestra of experiences in which every detail sounds like the perfect note of comfort, elegance and Mediterranean life. Nothing here is accidental – every drop of pool water, every gram of salt in the air breeze, every towel carefully folded on a sun lounger has its own purpose: to take you away from everyday life and bring you back – to yourself. 
When Europe heats up in July to the point where air conditioning in the car seems like the only life decision, we turned away from the scorching south and headed to where summer smells of pine trees, the sea and coffee on wooden benches in the middle of nowhere. To the north. To Scandinavia. More precisely – on a 13-day journey through Denmark and the west coast of Sweden, where we explored without a precise plan in our overland vehicle, sleeping in nature, campsites and on farms and enjoying the magic of a region that many still wrongly overlook. Join us on a roadtrip through Scandinavia. 
Where to travel in the fall? While the masses pack their bags, true hedonists are just planning their trip. This time, not for a “check-in”, but for a feeling. For luxury without the label “luxury”, for aesthetics that need no filter, and for a moment that smells of lavender, coffee and cultural elegance. 
Somewhere between the turquoise lakes and emerald hills of Austrian Carinthia, where the air smells of pine trees and the grapes bathe in golden sunshine, lies a destination that is more than just a winery – it is a cultural manifesto, a historical palimpsest and a gourmet adventure. Housed in a renovated medieval castle from the 12th century, Weingut Taggenbrunn offers an experience that goes beyond all classic wine tours. It is a place where every drop of wine bears the imprint of terroir, every dish tells a story and every room whispers the echo of centuries. 
Jesolo, one of the main destinations on the Italian Adriatic coast, is known for its long beaches, lively atmosphere and wide range of activities for everyone.
