My wife and I are planning to spend three weeks in Wales in September/October. We are 72 years old so not interested in surfing or so-called adventure tourism. While I love walking my wife’s health doesn’t allow her long or too strenuous walks. I am not really interested in cities so will probably avoid Cardiff and even Swansea. While we are i... Read More

Just looking at booking a hotel in Venice for 2 nights. The breakfast looks great but at £30pp each day it seems steep! However I’ve heard Venice is really expensive so wondering if it will be cheaper to book breakfast as well rather than be stung £10 for a coffee and £15 for a croissant! Read More

Hello! We are a family of 4 (12 and 14 year old boys). Next summer we want to go on an adventure to learn spanish by immersing overselves somewhere overseas for the entire summer (approximately 2 months).

Some of these questions are going to be so stupid, but I haven't been to France in a couple of decades. I posted before, but I'm hoping being a bit more specific will help, because I really need to book flights, etc. I'm doing a photo workshop in Normandy (Cabourg is the base) in mid-September for 6 nights. I arrive two nights before and have a hot... Read More

After time in Bordeaux and the Medoc with family this June, I am looking to find a less traveled town to explore - soak up some medieval history, take long walks, read in cafes, relax. Périgueux and Poitiers seem to fit that brief and are easily accessible via train. Is a week or so in each place too much? I will be without a car but will happily t... Read More

My husband and I are planning to visit Croatia in 2025 in late April, early May. He typically insists on two weeks maximum, but I may be able to get a couple of extra days. I want to book AA oneworld award tickets soon, so I would like at least a vague itinerary in place now. The best routing seems to be into Dubrovnik, and out of Zagreb. Husban... Read More

We are thinking of basing ourselves in Uzés or Nîmes for a few days to see the Uzés Saturday market, travel to the Chauvet Caves, and then wind our way to the Luberon. Any suggestions for places to stay with parking? Read More

I am frustrated at how much taxes, location fees and parking add to the hotel's price. But I wonder if I stay outside city limits if I will end up paying as much on transportation to and from. Does anyone know clean and safe location with good subway access and decent accommodation? I am suspecting that Uber or Lyft in Boston costs close to taxi p... Read More

We're flying in and out of Bergen in July and will be in Norway for 9 nights. Torn on whether to stay put in one spot and do day trips out of Bergen or to be more "nomadic" to cover more ground. Would prefer to stay in only 2 or 3 places for overnights, however, not a different place every night. We expect we'll rent a car, so won't be limited to o... Read More
