Kraków offers something many digital nomads look for: a walkable historic centre, vibrant café culture and a growing tech and startup scene.

The new taverna on Reichenberger Straße focuses on Greek-style grilled meats and fish, alongside a lineup of classic mezze like taramasalata and fava.

The Grand Pigalle Experimental hotel is situated in the heart of SoPi, with Montmartre and the Sacre Couer within walking distance, making it an ideal location for exploring Paris.

The evening, spearheaded by directors Sam Bardouil and Till Fellrath alongside patrons Monique Burger and Christine Würfel-Strauss, arrived at a fraught moment for Berlin, whose cultural scene faces funding cuts of roughly €130 million.

The two-story roof extension that crowns the building is the project's boldest move, and its most structurally clarifying one. By constructing a new volume above the historic shell, the project distinguishes legibly between what was found and what was made.

The historic row of houses at Oberamteistrae 2832, along with the surviving basement of the 'Stone House', are among the oldest buildings in Reutlingen, dating back to the 13th century.

The Featured section highlights projects in newly discovered locations, opening the city's art landscape to diverse, experimental and site-specific approaches.

Located in a former apartment, this project transforms a residential interior into a flexible creative studio for architectural practice and hands-on artistic production. The renovation honors the building's past while introducing a new spatial framework.

Often relegated to canteens and freezer aisles, chicken fricassee rarely gets the attention it deserves. Here, it's treated with care: pasture-raised chicken from northern German producer Lars Odefey is gently cooked in a classic sauce based on a fine chicken broth, served with regional mushrooms and carrots.

For the traveler who finds romance in a curved wall, chases good lighting, and believes a space should quietly seduce, a good design-led vacation rental is the destination as much as the location around it. These are homes chosen for how they look, feel, and linger in our memory-where architecture, interiors, and setting shape the experience of travel itself.

It's hard to name the best cities in Europe-there are so many great bustling hubs (not to mention charming small towns) spread across a relatively small continent, making it more a question of what you're looking for.
