Iconic routes, hidden gems, endless inspiration.

Port lodges in Porto, two slow nights among the Douro's terraced vineyards, Lisbon by fado, and a quiet beach to end on. A trip for two that gets slower as it goes.

Walk on a glacier, snorkel between two continents, chase waterfalls down the south coast and soak in a hot spring at the end of it all. Iceland, done actively.

A dragon's hill in Eryri, Edward I's castles on the North Wales coast, the long glen at Glencoe, Skye's ridgelines in the mist and a falconry lesson to finish. For readers who want to stand in the places their books were made of.

Rome with a private guide, a week through Tuscany's wine country, and a few slow days in Florence. A trip built to be taken alone, with company exactly when you want it.

Murals and markets, pyramids at sunrise, a trajinera on the canals of Xochimilco and the best tacos of your life. Five days in one of the world's great food cities, with your favorite people.

Tide pools at low tide, a shipwreck on the beach, sand dunes made for sliding and a lighthouse on a cliff. Two easy bases, short drives, and plenty of room for kids to run.

Big hikes to the base of the towers by day, a lodge with a fire and a very good Carménère by night, then over the border to walk on a glacier. Bougie and backcountry, at the end of the world.

Temples at dawn, a museum of moving light, sumo practice through a window and dinner at a counter older than your grandparents. A first taste of Tokyo that leaves you planning the second.

Platform 9¾, the studio where the films were made, real filming locations across the city and one night at the theater. Harry Potter's London, for fans of every age.

Rice terraces and water temples in Ubud, a quiet valley under Mount Agung, and cliff-top sunsets in Uluwatu. Bali at a slower pace, with a private pool at every stop.

A masseria among the olive groves, white towns and trulli in the Valle d'Itria, baroque Lecce and long lunches by the sea. The heel of Italy's boot, eaten slowly.

The greatest lift-served vertical in North America, a mountaintop lunch above the Purcells and deep, dry powder at two mountains that still feel like ski towns. A week of serious skiing in British Columbia.

Ljubljana's riverside cafés, Lake Bled at sunrise, the emerald Soča River and the Adriatic at Piran. Small, green and made for two people who like to move.

Seoul's palaces and night markets, a temple stay in the mountains, Silla-era tombs in Gyeongju and fish so fresh it moves in Busan. A trip built around the best food in Asia that most people have not tried yet.

Glaciers calving into the sea, humpback whales, a vintage railway toward the Yukon and towns most visitors reach only by sea. Alaska's Inside Passage, with something for every generation.
