No one has actually been to a speakeasy, well, unless you're 100 years old and have lived through Prohibition in the 1920s and early 1930s, that is. What we call 'speakeasies' in Hong Kong are themed bars inspired by the vestiges of the Prohibition era, bars that are intentionally hidden from plain sight, lacks signage, discreetly located in obscured entrances, and showcasing cocktails and experiences designed to look like you're going back in time.  Discovering these bars is already part of the drinking experience, and drinking at these 'hidden' gems can be a magical encounter. And while locating these 'secret' bars is not a daunting task, finding the very best is entirely a different matter. Read on to discover Hong Kong's best-disguised drinking holes and bars-within-bars that serve quality drinks that will keep you coming back for seconds. Check out our quick roundup of these venues in the reel below!

A dizzying mixture of old and new, Singapore is where tradition meets modernity. Centuries-old temples and buildings from our colonial era sit alongside financial towers, incredible attractions and air-conditioned shopping malls.

If you need a place to stay at or near Singapore Changi Airport, look through our list of the best airport hotels that the city has to offer and get ready to rest your head in comfort and luxury.

One of England’s prettiest cities, Bath positively glows with the serene beauty that has made it unrelentingly popular with day-trippers, staycationers and international travellers for generations. Today, it’s a little over a 1 hour 20 minute train journey from London Paddington – and a rather nice one at that, which sails across the Wiltshire countryside and into the curvaceous county of Somerset. Everything that once made it a favourite destination is still here: the Roman Baths, the UNESCO world heritage centre Georgian buildings, the tranquil parks, the glorious Abbey, the fabled waters and the ghost of Jane Austen stoically trudging up and down Milson Street. But for a city so proud of its history, Bath has also kept up with the times. Its superb array of restaurants include contemporary French cuisine, perfectly al dente pasta and veggie-friendly Nepalese. There’s also an abundance of properly good pubs, including The Salamander and The Raven, serving excellent local ales and lovely comfort food. All of which makes turning a day trip into a weekend break a bit of a no-brainer. But first, let us help you find the best hotel for your stay. Who makes the cut?

ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first day the Australian and New Zealand troops saw military action in Gallipoli back in 1915. In recent times it’s become a day of commemorating and remembering all Australians who have served in war. The annual dawn service held at Martin Place begins with the Catafalque Party and Band, followed by the ceremony from 4.20am by the Cenotaph. At 9am there is a march led by war veterans and their descendants, which will take place down Elizabeth Street. A commemoration service is held from 12.30 at the ANZAC Memorial in Hyde Park by the Pool of Remembrance. The sunset service takes place at the Cenotaph at 5pm. It is a shorter service to conclude the official commemorations, with the accompanyment of the NSW Ambulance Service Band. 

The most challenging part of the Sunrise Kayak and Coffee tour is getting up before 5am – but rising early gives you glassy waters and glorious photo opportunities that’ll make your hungover friends incredibly jealous on a Sunday morning. Instructor Laura Stone, her husband Ben and their incredible team run dawn tours that make the most of Sydney Harbour before most people turn and hit snooze. They set up single kayaks at Lavender Bay Boat Ramp ready for the pre-sunrise meeting time – and while we’re learning the best way to hold our paddles, Laura is picking up everyone’s coffee orders from a local café. Each raft has a custom coffee holder, and the cups keep the brews warm until you’ve paddled under the Bridge. The harbour water is velvety smooth, and the kayaks are very stable so you don’t need to work hard to paddle around Luna Park and into position as the sunlight hits Sydney Opera House. Our fleet rafts up to enjoy the view, sipping flat whites and snapping away with our phones. There’s a photographer on each tour snapping pics that you can take home for free, but it's worth bringing a GoPro along if you have one for the ultimate action shots.  Though the kayaks have glass-bottom windows the water’s still too dark to reveal any sea life – however, we do spot a fur seal frolicking by Blues Point Reserve. After an hour or so of gentle paddling we glide over to Sawmillers Reserve to check out the shipwreck.  It’s one of the drier tours we’ve encountered; expect to get

  SWOP makes it easy to buy, sell and trade premium pre-loved clothing. Sellers bring in their pre-loved items, which are assessed and priced by trained buyers, before being put out on the shop floor for sale. Sellers get cash or store credit, while second hand buyers get access to these special pieces that have been hiding in someone’s wardrobe. They only accept high-end or highly desirable labels, so you won’t find any fast fashion or budget buys on the racks. Each SWOP store in Australia is unique and tailored to each city, no two stores are the same.

Sal's is probably the only pizzeria in Sydney that can lay claim to serving an authentic New York slice. It's not that Sal's chooses to make a New York slice, it is that Sal's is a branch of the New York pizzeria established back in the 1970s in Little Neck, Queens and they have brought it to Sydney to ensure a true, New York slice. All the recipes have been developed by Sal himself, using Wisconsin mozzarella, Californian tomatoes and freshly milled flour from New York. Expect flavours like the classic cheese and pepperoni next to Sal's unique Buffalo chicken or meatball topped pies. Pizzas are all available by the slice and can be enjoyed next to garlic knots, pepperoni wheels, mozzarella sticks and buffalo wings with their signature set of dipping sauces. RECOMMENDED READS: These are the best places to get pizza in Sydney.

Propel yourself into the 2024 Olympic Games, whether or not you managed to get tickets, by visiting an upcoming temporary exhibition at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Opening on May 25, ‘Paris Olympique™: An Immersive Journey’ lets visitors put themselves in the shoes of former champions and discover how the Games have evolved over the centuries to become the world’s foremost sporting competition. This free and experiential exhibition is a chance to explore all three Parisian editions of the Olympic Games: 1900, 1924 and 2024. Large-scale projections provide a glimpse into past and present identities of the City of Light, or go deeper and step back in time 100 years to the Paris of 1924 through the wonders of augmented reality (AR). Using an AR portal, visitors can enter what was then Colombes Stadium (now Yves-du-Manoir Stadium) and marvel at historical imagery from the Olympic Museum’s archives.

The first is a ‘200-metre obstacle’ swimming event which featured in the Paris 1900 Olympics, where competitors climbed over a pole and a row of boats before swimming under another row of boats. Don’t worry, you can test your skills at this one virtually, so no swimming kit is required. The second sport is a little simpler, but not necessarily easier: rope climbing, taken from the Paris 1924 Games. Can you make a medal-wort

Visitar las principales atracciones turísticas de una ciudad está muy bien, pero solo cuando nos desviamos por un callejón perdido o tropezamos por una avenida arbolada podemos conocer el verdadero carácter de cada ciudad. Las calles son el corazón de la vida urbana; es donde las comunidades se reúnen, donde los pequeños comercios se convierten en protagonistas y donde los ciudadanos salen, pasan el rato y se divierten. Dicho esto, ¿cuáles son las mejores calles del mundo que vale la pena conocer y pasear por ellas? Para encontrar la respuesta, nuestro equipo global de editores y colaboradores aportó (e hizoun estudio) de la calle más bonita de su ciudad y, de ahí, creamos un ranking definitivo de las mejores avenidas, vías, callejuelas y bulevares del planeta. En primer lugar encontramos High Street, en Melbourne, Australia. Esta vía atraviesa los ultramodernos suburbios de Northcote, Thornbury y Prestons, y lo que la hace destacar son sus empresas locales y únicas. Desde Casa Nata, donde vienen auténticos pasteles portugueses, hasta Northside Wines, donde se puede degustar el vino local, pasando también por tiendas vintage y un cine independiente, esta calle está llena de vida. En segunda posición está una de las calles más antiguas de Hong Kong: el Hollywood Road, una bulliciosa vía que data de 1844 y que, según la leyenda, recibió ese nombre por los arbustos de acebo que antiguamente la bordeaban. Actualmente, ha cambiado, pero en esta calle hay de todo: el templo Man Mo,

Visitar les principals atraccions turístiques està molt bé, però només quan ens desviem per un carreró perdut o ensopeguem per una avinguda arbrada podem conèixer el veritable caràcter de cada ciutat. Els carrers són el cor de la vida urbana; són on les comunitats es reuneixen, on els petits comerços es converteixen en protagonistes i on els ciutadans surten, passen l’estona i es diverteixen. Dit això, quins són els millors carrers del món que val la pena conèixer i passejar-hi? Per trobar la resposta, el nostre equip global d’editors i col·laboradors va aportar (i fer un estudi) del carrer més vibrant de la seva ciutat i, d’aquí, vam crear un rànquing definitiu de les millors avingudes, vies, carrerons i bulevards del planeta. En el primer lloc trobem High Street, a Melbourne, Austràlia. Aquesta via travessa els ultramoderns suburbis de Northcote, Thornbury i Prestons, i el que la fa destacar són les empreses locals i úniques que acull. Des de Casa Nata, on venen autèntics pastissos portuguesos, fins a Northside Wines, on es pot tastar el vi local, passant també per botigues vintage i un cinema independent, aquest carrer està ple de vida.  En segona posició hi ha un dels carrers més antics de Hong Kong: el Hollywood Road, una bulliciosa via que data del 1844 i que, segons la llegenda, va rebre aquest nom pels arbusts de grèvol que antigament la vorejaven. Actualment, ha canviat, però en aquest carrer hi ha de tot: el temple Man Mo, centres culturals, restaurants, bars i molt

Learning about history doesn’t have to be boring, people. In fact, it can be exuberant, colourful, tuneful and downright entertaining when you’re “learning” by watching hit musical ‘Six’, which makes its way to Zurich during April. This smart, savvy and infectious production traces the sometimes-perilous story of King Henry VIII’s six wives, told by the women themselves through the medium of song. It’s a fresh and frank take on this well-trodden tale. Oh, and these six have some stories in-store for the audience about their respective times as queen, as you’ll find out during the 80-minute musical battle. To make things even more interesting, each is inspired by a contemporary pop giant, such as Beyoncé, Adele and Ariana Grande.   Photograph: Pamela Raith Photography It’s a truly exciting sprint through a particularly ‘colourful’ period of British history, and it’s about to land in Switzerland for the first time, hitting Zurich’s Theater 11 from April 9-21. ‘Six’ has already gone down a treat in London’s renowned West End and on New York’s equally acclaimed Broadway, so join the masses who’ve already witnessed this innovative spectacle and secure your tickets now for its Theater 11 run at the following link: www.ticketcorner.ch/artist/six-the-musical. For a taster of what’s in store, take a look at the trailer, which provides a great glimpse into the vibrant ‘Six’ universe, including a few of the meticulously choreographed dance routines and the incredible costumes.

¿Qué hace que una ciudad sea una buena ciudad? Algunos le dan más importancia a los barrios y sus actividades, otros a la comida y la bebida asequibles, y otros a la cultura y las cosas por hacer; desde ir a galerías de arte y museos hasta disfrutar de la música en directo y del teatro. Incluso podemos fijarnos en cosas como la felicidad de sus habitantes, el acceso a espacios verdes y el sentimiento de comunidad que se respira.

Què fa que una ciutat sigui una bona ciutat? Alguns li donen més importància als barris i les seves activitats, altres al menjar i la beguda assequibles, i altres a la cultura i les coses per fer; des d'anar a galeries d'art i museus fins a gaudir de la música en directe i del teatre. Fins i tot ens podem fixar en coses com la felicitat dels seus habitants, l'accés a espais verds i el sentiment de comunitat que s'hi respira. Tots aquests aspectes, i molt més, són els que han valorat a l'enquesta de les millors ciutats del món, elaborada per Time Out Internacional.

1. Don't complain about how getting to North Sydney or Parramatta is too hard and can’t your mates just meet you in the city? There's a train for that and it's quite easy. 2. Stop moving in next door to live music venues and complaining about the noise. 3. Get to the front of the line at the Gelato Messina HQ, Malibu sandwich shop or Oti' pizza ready to order, no one likes a flavour waffler.  4. Pushing your way onto a train, tram or bus without waiting for people to disembark should be a punishable offence. 5. Save your car horn for its purpose, not because the car in front of you can't hear you going "tsk" with your mouth. 6. If you want to stand still on the escalator, stand to the left and give way to the right (and no standing side-by-side with a mate). You're forgiven if you're here from overseas, where it's the other way around. 7. Jog in the bike lane at Centennial Park by all means, but prepare to share, don't barge. 8. Attending a yoga class and leaving your phone on vibrate is pretty up there, especially if you let your Instagram stories play through so you can view them while you downward dog, ya dog.  9.
