Visit Robben Island in South AfricaThe ferry leaves Cape Town with Table Mountain behind it, then the low outline of Robben Island comes into view. The distance is short, but the crossing marks a move from the open…
Visit RomaniaRomania is most rewarding when you let its contrasts sit beside one another: a medieval citadel such as Sighișoara, the energy and architecture of Bucharest, villages and fortifie…
Visit Rome, ItalyRome layers ancient ruins, Christian landmarks, Renaissance streets and ordinary neighbourhood life into one walkable city. It rewards travellers who enjoy history in context, bec…
Visit Rorke's Drift in South AfricaRorke's Drift is quieter than the version built by paintings and cinema. On the ground, the distances between the hospital, storehouse and surrounding slopes are short enough to w…
Visit RussiaRussia can still belong on a future list for a very specific reason: few journeys could place the galleries and boulevards of St Petersburg, the scale of Moscow and the country's…

Visit Saint Kitts and NevisSaint Kitts and Nevis is small enough for the outline of one island to remain visible from the other, yet the two have distinct rhythms. A morning can move from rainforest and vol…
Visit Saint LuciaThe Pitons rise so sharply from Saint Lucia's west coast that the island seems to announce its geology before anything else. Stay longer and the view becomes part of a fuller plac…
Visit Saint-TropezMorning belongs to fishing boats, market baskets and light moving across the old port before the terraces fill. Saint-Tropez may be famous for yachts and summer spectacle, but its…
Visit San MarinoClimb to San Marino’s walled centre and the Apennines open beneath three fortress towers on Monte Titano. This tiny republic turns a day trip into a compact lesson in independence…
Visit San Miguel de Allende in MexicoSan Miguel de Allende is best discovered at walking pace. Streets climb between ochre and red facades, doors open into shaded courtyards, and the pink stone of the Parroquia rises…
Visit São Tomé and PríncipeTravel to a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea where volcanic peaks rise behind rainforest, cacao estates run towards the sea and quiet beaches can feel almost entirely you…
Visit Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia combines old trading cities, archaeological landscapes and vast desert scenery, so it suits travellers who want a trip built around both culture and the outdoors. Riy…

Visit SerbiaSerbia brings together lively cities, Orthodox monasteries, riverside fortresses and mountain landscapes. It is a strong choice for travellers who want substantial history and foo…
Visit Serengeti National Park in TanzaniaThe Serengeti does not arrive as a single sight. It comes as grass moving under wind, a line of animals crossing the road, a distant acacia and the long pause before a guide point…
Visit Sierra LeoneSierra Leone can begin with an Atlantic crossing before the journey has properly started: the airport sits across the estuary from Freetown, and the city arrives between hills, wa…
Visit Sigiriya in Sri LankaClimb towards the top of Sigiriya and the scale of the place becomes increasingly strange. The rock rises almost vertically from the surrounding plain, with gardens, pools and rui…
Visit SingaporeSingapore can shift character within a few train stops: breakfast steam rising in a hawker centre, shophouse tiles in an older neighbourhood, towers reflected across Marina Bay an…
Visit Singapore Botanic GardensSingapore Botanic Gardens begins almost in the city and then quietly changes the scale. Paths curve past rain trees, lakes and dense tropical planting until traffic feels distant,…
Visit Sintra's Cultural Landscape | PortugalClimb from Sintra's tiled centre into wooded hills where a Moorish castle, a royal palace and the colour of Pena Palace appear through the trees. Paths, viewpoints and elaborate g…
Visit Skellig Michael in IrelandSkellig Michael rises from the Atlantic as steep rock rather than an easy destination. After the boat crossing, ancient dry-stone cells appear high above the sea, and the climb ma…
Visit SlovakiaSlovakia can begin in Bratislava with a castle above the Danube and end beneath the jagged High Tatras, with wooden villages, caves and hilltop ruins filling the distance between.…
Visit SloveniaIn a single journey, Ljubljana's riverside gives way to Alpine water, limestone caves, vineyard hills and a narrow edge of Adriatic coast. Slovenia's appeal is not that everything…
Visit Socotra Island, YemenWalk beneath dragon’s blood trees whose flattened, umbrella-shaped crowns look unlike almost anything growing elsewhere on Earth. Socotra sits in the Arabian Sea off the Horn of A…
Visit SomaliaSomalia's Indian Ocean coast, old trading cities, poetry and layered cultures offer a story far larger than the country's security headlines. Liido's blue water and Mogadishu's ar…
Visit South AfricaFrom the top of Table Mountain, Cape Town spreads towards the water while cloud moves over the rock at eye level. Elsewhere the country changes scale again: long coastal roads, hi…
Visit South KoreaIn Seoul, a palace roof can frame a glass tower and a night market can turn one street into a meal. Travel farther and the country changes again: Busan opens to the sea, Gyeongju…
Visit South Sudan when official advice permitsThe White Nile moves through Juba and then into a country of wetlands, savannah and communities whose histories long predate the world's newest state. South Sudan could one day of…
Visit SpainSpain rewards the moment you stop treating it as one destination. A late table in Seville, morning light on Granada’s stone, a crowded market in Madrid and a path above the Atlant…
Visit St Fagans National Museum of HistoryWalk between historic buildings, working crafts and gardens spread across the grounds of St Fagans. This open-air museum near Cardiff lets families experience Welsh history as a p…
Visit St Marks Basilica, ItalySt Mark's Basilica rewards slow looking. The gold mosaics, marble floors, domes and layered façade are not simply decoration: together they show how Venice used faith, trade, art…
Visit StonehengeStonehenge appears first as a familiar silhouette and then becomes stranger as you approach. The stones are larger, the gaps more deliberate and the surrounding earthworks easier…
Visit Sudan when official advice permitsSudan holds histories on a scale that deserves more attention: the Nile passing ancient Nubian sites, the pyramids of Meroë rising from sand, Red Sea communities and cities shaped…
Visit SwedenStockholm appears across water rather than along one centre: ferries cross between islands, ochre buildings line the old city and everyday commutes share the harbour with excursio…
Visit TaiwanTravel through an island where night-market energy, mountain forests, hot springs, temples and fast modern cities fit within remarkably easy reach of one another. Taipei is the na…
Visit ThailandBuild a route from Bangkok's river and food streets to northern temples, national parks or a southern island rather than trying to collect the whole country. Thailand's variety is…
Visit the Acropolis in GreeceClimb above central Athens to the Acropolis and stand among some of the most recognisable surviving monuments of the ancient Greek world. The Parthenon dominates the hilltop, but…
Visit the ancient ruins of Tikal, GuatemalaTikal is a major ancient Maya city set within the forests of northern Guatemala and protected for both its cultural and natural importance. Monumental temples, plazas and causeway…

Visit the Baths of Aphrodite on Cyprus’s Akamas CoastA shaded pool sits beneath fig trees and limestone near the Akamas coast, attached by tradition to Aphrodite and Adonis. The place is modest, and that is part of its appeal: lands…
Visit the Blue Mountains | AustraliaFrom Echo Point, sandstone pillars stand above a valley that seems to continue without edges. Walk away from the lookout and the Blue Mountains become less a view than a changing…
Visit The Box in PlymouthMove between giant maritime figures, natural-history collections, art and archives in a building designed to bring Plymouth’s stories together. The Box offers enough variety for a…
