…to the first issue of 2019 crammed with travel inspiration and expert advice from our favourite European destination! I’ve recently returned from Florence, and it was uplifting to be in the city again. Delving deeper into history at the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo (their guided tours are a must), we gained yet another new perspective with a tuktuk trip in the panoramic hills that surround the city.
Following this uplifting theme of fresh horizons and infinite possibilities, our writers have travelled around Italy this month to bring you inspiration for your next adventures in il bel paese. Lake Garda is our starting point, an ever-popular destination where quieter corners still remain – if you know where to go. We also head to the hills in Tuscany’s Casentino Forest (whose trees, I’ve learned, provided the wood for scaffolding to build Brunelleschi’s dome), and if you want to get fit, a healthy spa break in Puglia could be just what you’re looking for.
