Schoooool’s Out for Summer (Almost)!
Posted by Intelligent Travel on April 11, 2012 
Ah, summer vacation. That three-month stretch with no school, no schedule, and plenty of time for family trips. The possibilities were endless back then, weren’t they, when visions of Disney World danced in your head, and the days seemed to last forever. Not every 12-year-old is as well-traveled as Reed Golomb – son of digital media vice…

National Geographic Traveler contributing editor Christopher Elliott recently spent a week in Italy with his family. Here’s what he discovered. When you think of visiting Italy, a familiar highlight reel probably comes to mind: the Roman Colosseum, the Vatican, Michelangelo’s David, or pigeons in St. Mark’s Square.

Taste of Travel: Those Super Markets
Posted by Intelligent Travel on October 4, 2011 
Today no chef worth his or her whisk would consider planning a daily menu without checking in with regional suppliers and pinching the local produce for ripeness. But this isn’t news. European hausfraus have been doing it for centuries. It’s called going to market. And the food markets, still thriving in most European cities and towns, rate a visit even if you aren’t stocking your larder. In fact, they offer authentic local experiences to travelers and lessons in culinary and cultural traditions.

On Foot Map: Venice’s Dorsoduro
Posted by Janelle Nanos on August 27, 2010 Without cars and structurally unchanged for centuries, mysterious Venice is an anachronism–but don’t relegate it to living museum status. In the scenic district of Dorsoduro, modern art and traditional artisans thrive alongside sleek eateries and much loved enoteche (wine bars). This walk through Venice’s southwestern side highlights the best of La Serenissima, the Most Serene…

Retro Venice By Airstream
Posted by Marilyn Terrell on June 26, 2009 As we mentioned earlier, the National Geographic Museum in DC has just opened a wonderful free exhibit called “Kodachrome Culture: The American Tourist in Europe,” featuring big, luscious blowups of travel photos that appeared in the pages of National Geographic magazine (we call it NGM for short) in the 1950s and ’60s. I particularly liked…

Posted by Intelligent Travel on December 6, 2008 By Ashley Thompson This week, Venice battled the highest floodwaters it’s faced in more than two decades, and the fourth-highest levels in contemporary history. Our friends over at National Geographic have a gripping photo gallery of life continuing in Venice, despite swelling seas and Mayor Massimo Cacciari’s request to tourists and residents to stay indoors.…
Tour Guide: Learning from Locals
Posted by Katie Knorovsky on November 13, 2007 In Italy, it’s easy to marvel at frescoes painted by the masters. But while gaping at the Sistine Chapel ceiling is nice enough, tour company Context would prefer you try your hand at a more authentic experience: slathering wet plaster with your own artistic finesse during a three-hour fresco workshop in Florence. In addition to…
World Hum’s Seven Wonders
Posted by marilyn terrell on August 6, 2007 IT reported on the New Seven Wonders of the World contest months ago—at least that’s our excuse for not covering the announcement of the winners on their clever declaration date: 07/07/07.
