To travel is to live, Hans Christian Andersen opined, and certainly the enforced domestic seclusion of the past couple of years has only whetted my own appetite for sunnier skies and different, more dramatic views than the ones I can see from my windows.
Now, as borders reopen, but with international tourism yet to return to its pre-pandemic levels, it seems an opportune moment to discover the glories of the globe. And whether your tastes incline towards long-haul adventures or you prefer to be cosseted in splendour closer to home, Bazaar’s travel guide, which comes with our special Jubilee June issue, brings you a carefully curated edit of the loveliest locations, the most luxurious hotels and the truly unmissable experiences on land and sea.
There’s inspiration for timeless European destinations, islands to hop, iconic favourites, remarkable vessels that cruise the coast, wilderness adventures, and, of course, the best and bright new British boltholes. We also recommend wondrous safaris and idyllic resorts on all continents that will have the most reluctant voyager reaching for their passport.
The June issue of Bazaar, featuring our ultimate travel guide supplement, is on newsstands now.
