Destinations of the World News - November 2024

In this issue

The seasons of change are being thrust upon us once again. I am aboard Uzbekistan’s Afrosiyob train that is taking me from the leaf-laden streets of its modern capital city of Tashkent to the jewel of the Silk Road, Samarkand. Hurtling along at 210km per hour, we zip by seemingly endless, undulating hills of formerly lush grasslands that are now tinged with a distinctive brown. In a few weeks, the shade will change again to a crisp-white with the onset of winter snows.

As nature flaunts its new style, it signals a change in our adventures too. Many will swap the swimsuit for skis, the seaside for the slopes and to inspire you this month, we explore the destinations that take you from the beach to the piste, and everywhere in between.

In Switzerland, Robert La Bua admires the enchanting physical beauty and fresh air of the glamorous ski resort, St Moritz. Joe Mortimer enjoys a change of pace among the ateliers and galleries of London’s most exclusive neighbourhood as he checks into the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair. Meanwhile, Kris Karacinski takes to the winding, mountain roads of Luxembourg as he gets behind the wheel of Ferrari’s new 12Cilindri. As for me, I am delving into the epicurean excellence of Catalonia. From the shadow of the Catalan Pyrenees to the golden sands of Tarragona, I am introducing my palate to dishes and tastes that have been cultivated for over a millennia.

Whatever direction your compass points you to this month, I encourage you to embrace those new escapades and experiences that present themselves. Change is upon us and we’re ready for it. Are you?
