And now it’s fall, when the continent really comes into its own as the leaves – and visitor numbers – start to drop. A recent report from luxury travel network Virtuoso named Paris, London and Florence as the most booked cities for fall travel. “Fall is one of the best times to visit Europe because of the vast variety of interests [the season] can cater to,” says Mina Agnos, president of luxury travel company Travelive. If you’re ready for a different take on Europe this fall, we’ve got ideas. Fall also means it’s harvest time in Rebland – an area southwest of Baden-Baden famous for its Riesling.

Baroque masterworks and neon-lit nightlifeMalta is only 122 square miles, so 72 hours had seemed like an adequate amount of time to explore. I decided to check out the main island first, and then Valletta itself after that. The delightful Anna Grech Sant, a local guide, offered an abbreviated but fascinating lesson in Maltese history, richly seasoned with memorable trivia.

Sursa foto: timesofmalta.comUn nou record mondial pentru cea mai mare distanţă de înot în oceanÎnotătorul maltez de ultra-rezistenţă Neil Agius a depăşit oficial recordul mondial pentru cea mai mare distranţă de înot în ocean. Nu este prima dată când Agius înoate pe distanţe mari, anul trecut a înotat din Sicilia în Malta. Cu toate acestea, sportivul de ultra-rezistenţă nu cunoaşte limite şi a reuşit să bată un record mondial. Cu toate acestea, condiţiile meteorologice nefavorabile l-au forţat să se schimbe în ultimul minut, şi a ales să plece din Linosa, scrie Descopera.ro. Agius s-a luptat cu rănile, vremea rea şi provocările psihice în drumul său spre Gozo, dar a reuşit să finalizeze cursa cu sprijinul echipei sale de 22 de oameni.

Malta a anunțat că le va oferi până la 200 de euro, în forma unor reduceri la hoteluri, pentru cei care petrec cel puțin trei zile pe micuța insulă din Mediterana, relatează Reuters. În acest fel, țara speră să atragă mai mulți turiști, relatează Reuters. Acest sector reprezintă 27% din economia Maltei, iar numărul turiștilor a scăzut dramatic în urma pandemiei. În 2019, 2,7 milioane de oameni au vizitat Malta, iar în 2020 numărul a scăzut cu peste 80%. Malta are cea mai mare rată de vaccinare împotriva virusului din Uniunea Europeană, după ce a administrat cel puțin o doză la 42% dintre adulți, scrie Reuters.
