Travel Top 50 2011/12
Monocle's annual Travel Top 50 introduces you to the world's best hoteliers, airlines, airport operators and chefs, based on hundreds of journeys made by our demanding team over the past 12 months.
At your service
Monocle brings its taste for global cuisine, impeccable coffee and serene interiors to the Japanese capital with the first Monocle Café.
Bread & butter
Rye bread with a simple topping might not sound like culinary fireworks. However, at Aamanns it is sparking taste buds.
Monocle travel guide
This month Monocle visits a new luxury retail behemoth in Milan, a Yemeni coffee outlet in Tokyo and a Copenhagen restaurant serving New Nordic food at affordable prices.
Low riders, high ideals
With huge windows and a low cruising altitude, you can gape in wonder at the pristine Costa Rican landscape below. Why bother reading the inflight magazine?
Batumi boom
Georgia’s second city, Batumi, is in the midst of a frantic transformation. Intent on branding itself as a European-style cultural hotspot, it also aims to become a Caucasian Las Vegas.
Raising the bar
With the nights drawing in, there’s nothing more appealing than hunkering down in a cosy old Berlin bar. Monocle finds a seat to showcase our autumn/winter wear for indoors and out.
Slow lanes
The beautifully preserved town of Obuse in Nagano prefecture is home to old sake breweries and silk farms. It’s also where we parade this season’s womenswear.
It’s a wrap
A leafy getaway spot in central Japan provides the backdrop to our autumn menswear shoot. Here’s our pick of warm coats, jackets and knitwear to keep you cosy as temperatures fall.
Monocle travel guide
On Monocle’s world tour this month are a Long Island hotel that takes you back to those summer camp days, cocktails and kebabs from Israel’s finest chef and coffee couture in London.
