Once upon a time, there was a country called Britain, where the national cuisine was something of an international joke.

Palace-hopping in Rajasthan

Published: Aug 20 2008, 11:45 PM · Updated: Aug 20 2008, 11:48 PM

By Abigail Hole

Rajasthan has an embarrassment of palaces: middle of nowhere, towering on hilltops, crammed in narrow backstreets and reflected in lakes — so many that the Rajasthanis don’t know what to do with them. They’ve been turned into hotels, museums and government offices. Some have been overtaken by bats.

Spanish Harlem

Not many people, taking a weekend break in that manic, maddening metropolis that makes up Manhattan, ever make it quite so far north as Spanish Harlem.

On The Heritage Trail in Ghana

By Nana Luckham

Tucked away on the West African coast, Ghana is not the continent’s most obvious tourist destination, but it is one of the most rewarding. The country is infused with history and tradition, and offers a diverse and beguiling landscape of wild coastline, thick, tropical rainforest and animal-rich savannah.

Where the buffalo still roam

North Dakota isn’t exactly a tourist magnet. The Roughrider State ranks dead last among the lower 48 in terms of annual visitors, and even the hardy few who do pass this way often treat the prairies as an obstacle to be endured, a monotonous wasteland of corn and wheat flying past in the rearview mirror as the car races ahead to some more worthy destination.

Looking for Africa in Lisbon

By Anja Mutic

It’s a quiet night at En’Clave. As I savor a hearty meal of Kalulú — a fish-and-spinach stew from the island nation of São Tome and Principe — and slowly sip on a shot of grog — potent rum from Cape Verde — a hefty man sings a soulful morna ballad with a backdrop of two guitars. It could be a tropical night on an African square, but instead I am at an African basement restaurant in Portugal’s capital city.

As cool as a Palestinian hippo

By Amelia Thomas

It’s summer in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, and searing heat is desiccating the region’s troubled, sand-brushed lands. Intrepid tourists, however, have plenty of ways to keep cool.

Amsterdam with kids

By Jay Cooke

Amsterdam has plenty for discerning adults. But the Dutch capital is great fun for family travelers, too. If you last visited Amsterdam with a backpack but now find yourself toting kids to the continent, don’t bypass this creative city, with its vibrant squares, inspirational arts and ample chances for hands-on fun.

Indonesia

After visiting pagodas, churches, synagogues and mosques in five continents seeking the holiness humanity holds in common, in Jogjakarta, Indonesia, I saw one of the most elegant spiritual symbols of my life: a green elephant foot flower pot.

A hidden gem in Down East Maine

Published: Jun 18 2008, 11:36 PM

By Regis St. Louis

One of Maine’s loveliest little-known settlements, Castine is a charming, picture-book village with an astoundingly rich history dating back to the early 1600s. Its lanes are lined with grand 19th-century houses framed by stately elms, with a sprinkling of old-fashioned shops and bed-and-breakfasts leading down to the waterfront.
