Visitors can use the list of these most beautiful villages to...

On the ponderous, three-hour train journey between Romania’s capital Bucharest and the town of Brasov, I’m reading what is probably the most famous book set in the country. Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ has conjured an impression of Romania in the public imagination that is at times accurate but at other points laughably melodramatic.

But I also find pastel-painted fairytale-esque villages, a booming speciality coffee scene and impressively-stocked wine bars. With Romania now in the Schen...

A new hiking trail winding through the wild, nature-rich landscape of Italy’s Dolomites mountain range has just opened. The Cammino Retico is named after the ancient Raeti people who once lived there in pre-Roman times. It connects various remote villages between the Veneto and Trentino regions. The circular route is 170 kilometres long and can be completed in seven days. It hopes to bring slow and sustainable tourism to some of Italy’s lesser-known territories at risk of depopulation while letting visitors explore an uncrowded and “uncontaminated” side of the country. Hike through seven villa...
