Destinations
ROME F I UMI C I NO
Feeling thirsty? Make your way to
craft brewery Doppio Malto on via
Poli, not far from the Trevi Fountain.
It’s a gastropub styled with exposed pipes,
rust-coloured tables and walls and a
copper-lined bar, creating a warm interior.
There’s a varied menu, ranging from bar
snacks such as fried aubergine, onion rings
or panzerotti, to foccacia with various
fillings, burgers, spare ribs, lasagne, salads
and a kids’ menu, too. Try their special
beer-infused capon (galletto alla birra)
with oven-cooked potato wedges. Of
course you can’t leave without sampling
one or two of the 15 Doppio Malto house
beers they brew here.
SOUTHAMPTON
As a major port, Southampton’s past and present is indelibly linked to the sea, and its
impressive SeaCity Museum has many fascinating stories to tell. One of them is all about
the Titanic disaster – more than 500 local families lost a loved one. In Southampton’s
Titanic Story you can find out about this, hear oral testimony from the survivors and see
a pocket watch found on the body of a steward and an original life jacket. Another
permanent exhibition, Gateway to the World, explores who came to Southampton and why
– from Roman traders to Victorian industrialists. Alongside this, the museum presents rolling
exhibitions and a varied programme of events. On the first Saturday of the month visitors (12
and over) can also take the clock tower tour and climb its 200 steps. Afterwards, drop into
The Gallery café for a light lunch or refreshing drink.

TOULON CÔTE D ’ AZUR
Set by the coast and overlooking
the whole local area, the Mounts
of Toulon (Coudon, Faron, Baou de
Quatre Aures, Croupatier and Mount
Caume) are a playground for walkers
and hikers of all levels. From a relaxing
walk to a sporty hike, their footpaths offer
amazing views over the coast, along
with gorgeous countryside, the remains
of Iron Age settlements, fortresses, and
ruined castles… not forgetting the typical
Mediterranean vegetation of “maquis”
and “garrigue”. Another option is the
newly-opened 3.5-mile coastal walk from
the Tour Royale to the anse Magaud on
the eastern edge of the city.
STUTTGART
The w brings 120 years of automotive
history to life. There are 1500 exhibits –
including 160 vehicles – that illustrate
the development of the automobile
from the first horseless carriage to the
modern limousine. Exhibits include the
very first Daimler dating back to 1886,
the legendary Silver Arrow, and the
Popemobile used to convey Pope John
Paul II. The elegant building is a unique
structure based on a double helix. There
are no closed rooms or straight walls,
ceilings span 33 metres without any
support and each of the 1,800 triangular
window panes is unique.
