London in June

Those who live in London - in fact anywhere in Britain - are aware that the temperature of the British summer should be loosely relied upon.  However, June is usually one of the nicest months and therefore is packed solid of wonderful events which, usually, are based around copious amounts of pimms, large hats and fabulous outfits....

A Hedonist's guide to Lisbon,  beach

Summer sun

Lisbon is the perfect destination for a high-summer weekend break, because it's as much a beach destination as it is perfect for a stylish city-break. Yes the weather is hot, hot, hot, but blue skies and a fresh Atlantic breeze do much for the spirits. ...

BERLIN

 

01 Oct 2008 until 01 Oct 2009

Street Life

Berlin is one of the most exciting cities in Europe at the moment. Still bearing the scars of its troubled past, it is now an avant-garde and offbeat hub of artists, musicians and fashionistas. Berliners are not in the game of trying to forget the past. Monuments and museums throughout the city show a desire to honour the victims of Germany’s recent history. However, commemorating need not be a solemn affair. Join in and celebrate the day East and West Germany were officially reunited - head to the Brandenburg Gate for live entertainment, food, drink and lots of dancing....

PARIS

Essential romance

Paris and spring are as magical a combination as foie gras and brioche, vodka and caviar or champagne in a really decadent hotel room. Warm sunny days strolling along leafy boulevards, long lingering lunches of moules, oysters, steak tartare and chocolate fondant in a cosy bistro, indulgent shopping and evenings feasting in chic restaurants - what could be lovelier. Even if you can only escape for 24 hours, a quick trip to Paris is essential - whatever the stage of your romance. ...

London in Bloom

London is wonderful at this time of year.  Escape from the general bustle of the city and the insane shoppers in the West End, and head to London's glorious parks.  Hundreds of people descend on Hyde Park, Regent's Park and St. James' Park for boozy picnics that go on into bright, warm evenings.

MOSCOW

 
St Basil's Cathedral Moscow

01 May 2009 until 28 Jun 2009

Perfect time to visit

Freezing in winter, hot, wet and crowded in high summer, the elements seem to conspire against comfortable trips to Moscow - so we recommend a visit in early summer when warm weather and long days allow you to enjoy the best that the city has to offer. Take a stroll around the historic heart of the city, explore the charming streets of old Arbat and take a walk in Gorky Park. ...
