National Geographic Traveller (UK) May 2019 — available on newsstands now

LONDON (5 April 2019) — What’s your favourite city? This is the question we asked 57 of our travel writers. And while you might be able to guess some of the answers, there were a few surprises. Why these places? Well, we asked our writers to justify themselves, and the results raised some interesting questions about what makes travel writers tick. But, perhaps more importantly, they begin to answer the question: what makes a city great?

And also, from this issue onwards, our online content moves to a new home as the website merges with National Geographic UK. The expansion of the UK site will combine talents, offer even more complementary content and ensure a consistent brand experience for readers:

ALSO INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Destinations: We bask in the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’ — the landlocked country of Malawi; explore ³Ò°ù±ð±ð³¦±ð’s historic region of Central Macedonia; and spend a long weekend in Limerick. Our photo story, meanwhile, looks at the lives
of the eagle hunters of Mongolia.

Cities: Our urban stories this issue include Stockholm, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Kolkata.

Smart Traveller: Charleston becomes more accessible with direct flights; underwater dining in Norway; on the trail of heritage shops in Palma; the best rooms in Hoi An; like a local in Las Vegas; and a trip to Howgill Fells.

Author Series: Kate Mosse on Carcassonne.

Travel Geeks: Ask the Experts includes tips on skiing in New Zealand, Airbnb cancellations and paying by card abroad.

Traveller 10: We grab our binoculars and zoom in on the ultimate wildlife experiences for families, from tracking leopards to making a splash with a duck-billed platypus.

PLUS: Win seven nights of self-catered accommodation for up to eight people with Summer France.

 

And our Travel Writing Competition 2019 is now open, with a chance to win an eight-night trip across Southern Africa with G Adventures:
