Our Travel Team has journeyedextensively around the world,experiencing a whole host ofsights and sounds, culturesand traditions, history andarchitecture. Here is a selectionof handpicked favourites,just for you, and some greatholidays that will enable you toexperience them for yourself…Budapest is a wonderful city of two halves: take a funicularride to the Castle District of Buda, head to Mátyás Church,an amazing white building that seems to gleam in the sun,its tiled roof is an artwork in itself. From Fisherman’s Bastionthere are spectacular views across the roof of the CalvinistChurch, to Pest’s Parliament Building, St Stephen’s Basilicaand beyond. In Pest, start at the Neo-Gothic ParliamentBuilding that sits right on the river bank, wander past thememorial statue of Imre Nagy, martyr and Prime Ministerduring the Hungarian revolution; past Ronald Regan’s statue,erected in Liberty Square in honour of his role in helping endcommunism, and on to St Stephen’s Basilica which is equallyas impressive by day as it is by night. The city has manycafes, restaurants and bars in which to enjoy a rest from yourcity exploration.

The Amalfi Coast stretches south from the Bay of Naples andwinds its way between the Mediterranean Sea and the cliffs,past stylish towns nestled on improbable slopes, and lemongroves that make the region’s famous tipple, limoncello. Ittruly is a beautiful drive which offers incredible views andwonderful places to stop and explore. Sorrento lies at thewesternmost point of the Sorrentine Peninsula and is a citythat saw its heyday in the 18th century when the aristocracyof Europe built holiday villas on its cliff tops. More than 200years later it still offers echoes of the past, coupled withsplendid modern glamour, cobbled streets and tiny squares.Heading east along the southern shore discover Positano, apretty enclave that has become a magnet for celebrities, andAmalfi itself, set in a suitably dramatic location at the foot ofMount Cerreto and centred around its Romanesque cathedralwhich watches over Piazza Duomo.

Last but not least, South Africa. Often referred to as ‘theworld in one country’ it offers an extreme diversity oflandscape, people, history and culture and a truly uniquetravel experience that should be on everyone’s must-do list.A second visit to this amazing country did not disappoint,the safari experience is one of the main reasons for headingto this part of the world - the Kruger National Park is hometo an incredible array of animals and birds including the ‘bigfive’ - game viewing is intensely moving and a successfulday will leave you floating, in awe, on cloud nine. CapeTown, with its iconic Table Mountain, is a vibrant city andthe perfect base for visiting the beaches, Winelands and theGarden Route.
