EXCITING CITIES


BACK TO BLACK
The Jewish Museum London
celebrates Amy Winehouse’s life
and music with an exhibition
(running to September) and
street art trail (to June;
jewishmuseum.org.uk/amy).

The Metrocable is Medellín’s
cable car, linking otherwise
hard-to-reach parts of the city.

Botero of a Roman soldier

NEXT STOP: BORDEAUX


This two-city-break to France is


now a distinct possibility with the


launch of a high-speed rail link


between Paris and Bordeaux.


From July, travel


time between the


cities has been cut


to two hours, and


London to Bordeaux


to just six hours
