National Geographic Traveller UK Magazine European Cities Collection 2025 Edizione speciale

See Europe’s cities through a fresh lens in the latest European Cities Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK). Thanks to a new wave of passionate local guides reimagining the urban experience, city tours have never been more original, fun or varied. This issue dives into this quirky, characterful trend and the inventive new ways travellers are discovering urban Europe.

This issue also taps into the rise of active city breaks, spotlighting how Europe’s urban centres are doubling as gateways to the great outdoors. Here, travellers can cycle along former railway lines, go wild swimming in repurposed barges and even abseil down skyscrapers. Elsewhere, this edition explores Europe’s rich musical tapestry — from the haunting fado of Lisbon to the vibrant folk beats of the Balkans — before uncovering how food halls have become the continent’s hottest culinary destinations. All this comes alongside a curated guide to Europe’s finest hotels and experiences, crafted to inspire your next urban escape.
