Croatia's past lives on in modern-day Split
While most of Croatia's coastal towns seem tailor-made for tourism, Split is real and vibrant. Split has all the trappings of a modern city. Back in its heyday, the harbor front was Diocletian's back door.
Nice: Capital City of the French Riviera
A hundred years ago, bigwigs from London to Moscow began flocking south to the French Riviera and the sun-drenched city of Nice.
Avoiding Lines: The Long and the Short of It
As far as I'm concerned, there are two IQs for travelers: those who queue ... and those who don't. If you plan ahead, you can avoid nearly every line that tourists suffer through. Many museums are free one day a month -- a great deal for locals.
Great sights and new insights in Dresden
At exactly 10:15 a.m. in the courtyard of the Zwinger palace complex in Dresden, 40 Meissen porcelain bells began a sweet three-minute melody. Then I realized I was on a Dresden high.
Going local: It's easier than you think
I'm not naturally a wild-and-crazy kind of guy. When you're traveling in Europe, make yourself an extrovert, even if you're not. Be open to encounters as you visit a city. Take a class at a cooking school.
Visiting Vesuvius and Pompeii
The ancient city of Pompeii -- famously ruined in A.D. 79 when mighty Mount Vesuvius blew its top -- is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions. You can get to Vesuvius with a train/bus/hike journey. Belly up to the crater's edge.
