The food of Tunisia’s Cap Bon peninsula has
taken influences from its Mediterranean
cousins, but it’s a cuisine that’s very much its
own. Explore the colourful souks, smoky cafes
and busy coastal towns, and be sure to add a
dash of harissa to everything. TUNISIA P. 50Ben Lerwill
The pandemic left wildlife reserves
floundering, so I arrived in South Africa not
entirely sure what to expect. I departed
feeling dazed by the experience and buoyed
by the work that’s going into safeguarding
the future. SOUTH AFRICA P.8 4Alicia Miller
I first came to the Douro Valley for the wine
(the port, of course, is world-famous) and the
epic scenery. Now, I return for the fabulous
sweets, sleepy towns and the people — so
warm, genuine and proud of this beautiful,evolving region. (^) PORTUGAL P. 96
Adrian Phillips
While visitors crowd Budapest’s bridges and
cafes, life goes on beyond the downtown.
The less fashionable districts are where to
go: discover elegant market halls, wine stores
serving shots of fiery fruit brandy and bars
where music legends played. BUDAPEST P.12 4
Joe Sills
Despite growing up within a day’s drive of
the city, Pittsburgh eluded my travel radar
until this year. What I found there astounded
me. A true world-class city on the edge of the
Appalachian Mountains, there’s nowhere in
America quite like it. PITTSBURGH P. 136
