Don’t get swept up in the crowds flocking to the larger Amalfi Coast towns. Yes, they’re some of the best in the business when it comes to sea views and chic cobbled streets – but they all have smaller, equally charming equivalents just a short drive – or boat trip, away. We’ve handpicked the Amalfi Coast’s best places for Italian architecture, fishing history, gourmet eats and hilltop places to swerve the crowds.
It’s easy to pitch up with a list of just three things to do on the Amalfi Coast. Eat carbs, gaze at the devastatingly beautiful views and mooch between tiny harbours. Beyond that? Consider adding a few must dos to your Amalfi Coast itinerary. Yes, some of it is a little foodie-centric. This IS the Amalfi Coast after all. But, the hiking, scuba diving and island hopping are not to be missed. Rub shoulders with A listers, visit vine-filled wine estates and peer into the Amalfi Coast’s obsession with lemons. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of pastel hues to take in along the way…
Don’t judge us for telling you to ‘travel back in time’ on Krakow’s streets. This is a city where you can easily go back to its medieval roots for a weekend – and work forward from there. Feast on pork knuckles soaked in ale in a beer hall. Wander the cobbles into a sailing tavern – albeit far from shore. Or head underground to see where Krakow’s traders used to sell their wares. The fact the below ground attraction comes with futuristic holograms and laser shows might tempt even the most history-phobic among us to take a peek.
Away from the history? Well, it’s actually tricky to move away from it at all. In THE best way. The most futuristic building in Krakow is the contemporary art museum, but even they are digging back into the decades to curate Polish art’s history. Embrace this city’s past, even the worst of it. Take a stroll through the now romantic streets of the Kazimierz to see how the former Jewish quarter has regenerated from the horrors of WWII. Or head out of Krakow – just for a while – to see the artistic endeavours in the area’s salt mine. You’ll not look at a chandelier in the same way again. Stepping back in time needn’t be boring and fusty, and Krakow proves that time and again.
Distilling the best things to do in Devon down to just ten? Treacherous. For every activity that’s made it here, there’s another ten waiting to take their spot.

Pups and pooches are seldom turned away, with many attractions, theme parks, pubs and restaurants ready to cater to you and your pets. We’ve got the low down on Devon’s dog friendly beaches, campsites and more to make your stay that little bit easier.
Two coastlines and over 100 beaches give you plenty of choice when it comes to choosing your favourite among the best beaches in Devon. South Devon beaches tend to get most of the attention – and the crowds, so do give the north coast a chance. Brilliant for watersports and wildlife fans, the beaches along this coast do feel a little more rugged in places. Though, there are award-winning coastal gems hidden in the rough.
It may come as quite the surprise to find this county is serious about its food. And the best restaurants in Devon? Almost too numerous to mention. You can flit from a Devon cream tea to a seat at your pick of the region’s Michelin star restaurants. Devon won’t judge you for that, even if you do stop to pick up some artisan fudge on route. The county hasn’t lost its grip on the fish and chip market either. Award-winning, seaside battered and fried goodness is easily found. And then there’s the passionate chefs creating fine dining experiences in pubs, cafe’s and restaurants at every turn. Expect to be well fed…

Whether you’re camping on North Devon’s best beach or wild camping right on the moors, Devon’s wildlife and stunning scenery will wow you. For those that like a few home comforts, glamping in Devon can come with five star pampering on the side or riverside locations that glint with the blue flash of kingfishers. Struggling to choose from the hundreds of camping sites in Devon? We’ve handpicked the best ones to get you started…

The best things to do in Krakow make use of the city’s history, in some way. Whether you’re musing over whether Baroque was the way to go for Krakow castle’s northern wing makeover in 1595 – or deciding whether three courses of goose-based fayre is artery-safe, there’s a historic touch at every turn. Stray from the city to see the magic created by artistic salt miners or spend a contemplative day within the sombre walls of Auschwitz. Krakow’s history gets a little more contemporary here and there too. Krakow attractions include a sleek and stylish art museum and underground holograms for you to find…
