Travel
Monocle uncovers striking places to stay this summer. From vibrant boutique hotels in Bogotá and Mumbai to an intimate high-rise in Gothenburg and historical lodgings in Hoogstraten and Rome.

Sacré bleu!
A revolution is brewing in Paris, but it’s more about langoustines than guillotines. The city’s classic bistros are getting a makeover, with refreshed designs and menus that are reinventing the Parisian staple.
Return to splendour
The appeal of this affable port city is rising, especially in the revitalised Cavana quarter.
La bella vita
OK, so they might have creaking transport systems, crime problems and high unemployment, but Italian cities also have an irresistible charm. Here’s where we’d live.
Simply the best
Cucina Hirata restaurant in Tokyo doesn’t over-think Italian cuisine’s main strengths: quality, simplicity and freshness.
Special delivery
Mistral Air is not your typical airline. Founded by a former film star, it charters passenger flights by day and runs mail services by night – and is a big hit with pilgrims.
Room with a view
We bring you some of the best places to stay in Italy, including a 16th-century former monastery and a 500-hectare estate in the Tuscan hills. We also introduce you to some fine boatyards.
Food

Where are you going?
It’s time to go. Walk out the door. There’s a big, inspiring world out there and by getting on a plane or train you might just find the perfect spot for your next venture.
