Best of Europe



From James Martin, your Guide to Europe Travel
We're just back from a trip to southern Italy, and have updated our page on Pompeii with information on lodging, food, and the new night tours of the ancient city. Plus, we've also been to the Basilicata gem, Matera, and have posted some night pictures. Finally, there's that criminally vague travel warning posted this week by the US government, which advises us to be vigilant against all possible threats. Paying attention is what we've always advised, and that won't change.

Matera at Night
The rock-cut cave dwellings of Matera are justly famous with day-trippers, but the night is also special in Matera. See what we mean with a few night pictures of this special place in southern Italy.

Pompeii Visitors Guide
It's been a while since we'd last visited Pompeii, and while some of the frescoes have faded, it's still an amazing place. Check out the new entry prices, our recommendations for lodging and food, and get info on the new night tours.

Europe Travel Safety
Pay attention and you'll probably be fine. After all, danger is part of our everyday life, and with world governments threatening each other day after day, you wouldn't expect the degree of danger we face daily to wane at all, would you?

The Fall Colors of Bruges
Yep, it's fall, and the colors in the north should be blazing by now. Here's what you're missing if you don't plan your European adventure in autumn.
