Based in Germany, Hidden Europe is a travel magazine with a difference and a marked style and tone. Travel writers wanting to submit must read back issues and study that style before submitting. Topics covered are not famous destinations, posh hotels and the finest restaurants. The two editors, Susanne Kries and Nicky Gardner, ‘write about everyday Europe with passion, care and conviction,’ and want this from their contributors. Pieces published reveal ‘a wide and balanced understanding of how a place and its people function, backed up by reasoned views, careful explanation and perceptive insights.’
The magazine specialises in ‘Europe’s unsung spots, or in lesser known aspects of familiar territory.’ If a well-known destination is covered it is done so with a quirky or unusual perspective.
