There are moments when a city seems to gather its creative energy in one place From contemporary masterpieces and historic discoveries to exceptional hospitality and private cultural experiences, Frieze Week reveals a more considered way to experience London. There are moments when a city seems to gather its creative energy in one place. London in October is one of them. As the leaves begin to turn in Regent’s Park and the capital settles into the rhythm of autumn, the intern

From cinematic premieres and elegant hotel stays to unforgettable dining and West End evenings, discover how the BFI London Film Festival can inspire a more considered city break. Some cities are made for sightseeing. Others are made for stories. London has always belonged to the latter 2:42 AM London has always belonged to the latter Some cities are made for sightseeing. Others are made for stories. London has always belonged to the latter. It is a city of dramatic skylines,

The dazzling Singapore skyline comes alive at night during the Grand Prix, with Marina Bay Sands and surrounding structures illuminated by vibrant lights and lasers, reflecting the city's electrifying atmosphere. Some sporting events are watched. Others are experienced. There is something different about a race under the lights. The city is illuminated. The skyline becomes part of the spectacle. The sound of engines travels between skyscrapers. Restaurants and rooftop terrace

Some destinations are beautiful when you arrive. Others become more beautiful the longer you stay. Some places photograph beautifully. And then some places somehow look even better when you are standing there. Madeira is one of them. I have recently returned from the island, and although I have travelled to Madeira before, this particular journey reminded me of something important about travel: A destination can become familiar without ever becoming predictable. Every visit r

There is a moment in Munich every September when the city changes character. Oktoberfest may be a reason to travel to Munich as the destination. The streets become livelier. Traditional dress returns to the centre of the conversation. Music carries into the evening. The scent of Bavarian food fills the air. And at the Theresienwiese, one of the world's most famous celebrations begins. Oktoberfest has become synonymous with Munich. But to experience it properly is to discover

The runway may be the reason to arrive in London. But increasingly, it is everything around it that makes the journey worth taking. The runway may be the reason to arrive in London There are cities you visit. And then some cities seem to reinvent themselves every few months. London is undoubtedly one of them. Yet there is a particular moment in September when the capital takes on a different energy. Fashion houses prepare their collections. Designers unveil new ideas. Buyers,

Because sometimes the race is only the beginning of the journey. Because sometimes the race is only the beginning of the journey. There are sporting events. And then there are sporting events that seem to transform an entire city. For one weekend, the world turns its attention to a circuit. Engines fire. Lights go out. Crowds rise. Hospitality suites fill. Hotels become meeting places for the international jet set. Restaurants buzz late into the evening. Formula 1 has become

The way we travel is changing. And at TravelbyMoniz, so are the journeys we create. The way we travel is changing There was a time when travel was neatly divided. A holiday was a holiday, a business trip was a business trip, and attending a major sporting event, concert or cultural occasion was simply something you organised separately. But the modern traveller no longer thinks in quite such straightforward terms. A business trip might become a weekend in another city. A conc

"Travel isn't measured only by the miles we cover. It's measured by the stories we collect along the way." Exploring the historic architecture of Split under the warm sun, capturing memories of a wonderful holiday. As another wonderful summer draws towards its close, it's natural to reflect. Not simply on the destinations we've visited, but on the conversations we've shared, the journeys we've planned and the memories we've helped create. For TravelbyMoniz, this season has ne

Gigantic red Christmas ornaments light up the night in New York, creating a festive holiday scene against the city skyline. "Every Christmas film you've ever loved seems to begin somewhere in New York." The first snow settles gently across Central Park. Fifth Avenue sparkles beneath thousands of lights. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree stands proudly against the Manhattan skyline while skaters glide beneath its branches. Horse-drawn carriages pass through the park. Luxur

View of the Manhattan Bridge framed by red brick buildings in New York, with the Empire State Building visible in the background. "New York is not one city. It is a collection of experiences waiting to be tailored." There are very few destinations that manage to satisfy two entirely different travellers with equal success. The executive arriving for an important board meeting. The couple celebrating a milestone anniversary. The family fulfilling a lifelong dream. The entrepr

Corporate gatherings take place under the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon, offering a stunning backdrop of the Tagus River and the Cristo Rei statue. Can a city reveal itself in twenty-four hours? Conventional travel wisdom suggests not. A meaningful visit should unfold slowly, with time for neighbourhood walks, long lunches, museums, viewpoints and discoveries that cannot be scheduled. Lisbon, in particular, seems to deserve several days. Its hills, tiled façades and lay

Sun-drenched cliffs and vibrant villages cascade into the azure Atlantic on Madeira's north coast. Madeira is frequently described as the Island of Eternal Spring. It is an attractive phrase, but it only begins to explain the destination. The island’s mild climate is certainly part of its appeal. Yet what stayed with me after my recent visit was not simply the weather. It was the contrast: volcanic mountains rising dramatically from the Atlantic, immaculate gardens beside rug

Scenic view of the Adriatic coast in Croatia with small boats anchored near a charming coastal village surrounded by lush greenery and historic architecture. Some destinations reveal themselves immediately. Others ask you to slow down, look beyond the obvious, and allow your character to emerge. Split belongs firmly to the second category. Set against the brilliant blue of the Adriatic, Croatia’s second-largest city is often introduced as a gateway to the Dalmatian islands. F

Every year, travel has its own personality. Some years are defined by destinations, others by technology and others by changing traveller behaviour. But as we approach the second half of 2026, something more interesting is taking place. Luxury travel is becoming increasingly personal. Not more extravagant. Not more complicated. Simply more intentional. The travellers shaping the industry are no longer asking: "Where is everyone else going?" They are asking: "What kind of expe

There is a particular question that tends to emerge whenever travellers gather over dinner. Sometimes it appears between courses, sometimes over a glass of wine and sometimes, somewhere between stories of missed flights and unforgettable sunsets. The question is deceptively simple: If you could only return to one destination for the rest of your life, where would it be? Not visit once. Do not revisit occasionally. But return to, year after year, as your one enduring place in

Luxury travel has always been about access. In 2026, it is increasingly about foresight. As summer begins to unfold across Europe, beach clubs are filling, airport lounges are bustling, and millions of travellers are eagerly anticipating their long-awaited holidays. Yet among the most seasoned travellers, attention is already drifting elsewhere. Not towards July or August, but towards the Winter. Because while much of the world is focused on the present season, experienced tr

Celebrating Father's Day with love and style, featuring classic ties and a heartfelt message. Father's Day arrives every year with the same familiar question: "What should I get Dad?" A new watch. A bottle of his favourite drink. A gift voucher. A gadget he may or may not use. They're thoughtful gestures, of course. But as we get older, something becomes increasingly clear. The gifts we remember most are rarely things. They're experiences, moments, memories and time spent tog

Gourmet dining experience aboard a luxury private jet, complete with champagne and an exquisite salad, embodying the essence of opulent travel. For years, travellers have been obsessed with the destination. The hotel, the beach, the villa, the restaurant reservation, and the view. And whilst these elements remain important, something interesting is happening within luxury travel in 2026. The journey itself is becoming part of the luxury experience once again. After decades of

A traveller proudly displays a well-worn passport featuring various stamps, a testament to adventures and visits to places like Machu Picchu, set against a backdrop of majestic mountains. There is a question that divides travellers more than almost any other. Would you rather visit ten countries in two weeks… Or spend two weeks fully immersing yourself in one destination? At first glance, the answer seems obvious. More countries mean more experiences, more cultures, more memo
