Undulating gracefully across six English counties, the Cotswolds region is a delightful tangle of golden-hued villages, thatched cottages, evocative medieval churches and honey-coloured mansions.

One of Belgium’s oldest cities, Ghent has a wealth of medieval and classical architecture, as well as areas of urban renewal populated with quirky art galleries and contemporary museums.

Sofia is an eclectic city, with a scattering of onion-domed churches, Ottoman mosques and stubborn Red Army monuments. Use this list to plan your itinerary for a weekend in the Bulgarian capital.

Colorado’s cosmopolitan state capital has come a long way as a centre of food and drink. This gateway to the Rocky Mountains now delights with an array of excellent restaurants, brewpubs and bars.

Nepal’s capital is a riot of sights, sounds and smells. This list will help you barrel through the traffic-jammed alleyways of the Old Town in a rickshaw, marvel at medieval temples and more.

Canada’s urban jewel of green space, the mighty and highly beloved Stanley Park, is the highlight when it comes to outdoor fun in Vancouver. Use this list to find things to do outside in the city.
