The European Alps stretch for more than 1,200 kilometres across eight countries, but the experience varies dramatically across the range. In France, high passes and glacier terrain dominate parts of the landscape, while Switzerland has car-free mountain villages, and Slovenia’s Julian Alps rise in sharp limestone peaks.

You can drive across the main island in about 45 minutes. Most visitors give it a day or two, usually on a cruise ship stop — they walk around Valletta, take a photo of the harbour, and leave, which means they miss almost everything. Give Malta a week and you'll see what … [Read more...]
