San Miguel with kids: better than the guidebooks admit
Cobblestones, churros, mask-makers' workshops, and a town square built for evening chaos. Our best family week in years.

San Miguel de Allende · Mexico
Cobblestones, churros, mask-makers' workshops, and a town square built for evening chaos. Our best family week in years.

Paris · France
Our fourth try at Paris and the first one that felt like ours: three neighborhoods, one museum, zero queues, golden hour at the tower exactly once.

Porto · Portugal
Ribeira views, port lodges across the river, and dinner for two under €50. Western Europe's best-value city break, no contest.

Draa Valley · Morocco
Mud-brick kasbahs above a thousand-year-old palm oasis, and a silence you can hear. The best three days of my Morocco month.

London · United Kingdom
Skip the checklist. Two neighborhoods, one market, theatre once, pubs as punctuation. London rewards depth over coverage.

Kyoto · Japan
Kiyomizu-dera at dawn, kaiseki that recalibrated me, and ¥900 udon that held its own. November Kyoto is the trip I measure other trips against.

Venice · Italy
Fog on the lagoon, locals at the bacari, the Rialto market at eight with nobody watching. The Venice everyone says is gone is just seasonal.

Positano · Italy
Late September: the sea still warm, the stairs still brutal, the town finally exhaling. The anniversary trip standard-setter.
