NYHAVN COPENHAGEN’S ICONIC QUAYSIDE

By Joe Wall

Regardless of the grandness of a city, it’s common for a single, iconic element to be its calling card. Think the Empire State Building and New York City, or the Eiffel Tower and Paris. Denmark’s capital city is most often portrayed with the image of brilliantly colored houses, meticulously preserved, with a parade of historic wooden sailing ships in the foreground. While Copenhagen is inarguably the epicenter of Scandinavian style and boasts a bevy of picturesque vistas, this quintessential photo may only be snapped in one beloved part of town: Nyhavn. Copenhagen’s most iconic landmark is more than picture-perfect. The storied quay is a bustling promenade of locals and visitors from around the world, thrumming with cafés, restaurants and a spirit of bonhomie you’ll feel throughout the city (and the whole of Denmark). Nyhavn’s history dates back to Denmark’s time as a world power, includes the presence of famous Danish fairy tale writer Hans Christian Anderson, sees the area decline into seediness and features a revival borne of civic pride, tourist popularity and the simple Dutch perfection of those candy-colored, 17th-century townhouses. GYLDENLØVES KANAL, H.C. ANDERSEN & REBIRTH Denmark’s port cities saw a great rise in trade during the 17th century. With limited dock space hampering ships from loading and unloading their cargo in Copenhagen’s main harbor, King Christian V ordered the creation of a new one in 1670. Danish soldiers and Swedish prisoners of war captured during the Dano- Swedish War (1658-1660) were employed to excavate and dredge the new waterway. The five-year task was completed in 1675, with a 1,480-foot-long canal providing sea access to Kongens Nytorv (King’s New Square). It was originally named Gyldenløves Kanal (Golden Lion’s Canal), but residents referred to it as Nyhavn, which translates to New Harbor. An inundation of sailors and merchants from around the world eventually made Nyhavn (which is pronounced nu-houn) notorious for rowdy alehouses and houses of ill-repute, a characterization that lasted throughout the port’s nearly three centuries of operation.

Northern Europe

A LOCAL CREATOR OF FAIRY TALES Despite Nyhavn’s less-than-pristine reputation, many prominent Danish artists have lived in the now-famous townhouses lining the canal over the years. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), Denmark’s celebrated writer of literary fairy tales, called it home during periods of his adult life. The author of The Little Mermaid , The Ugly Duckling , Thumbelina , and many more lived in three Nyhavn houses that still stand today: No. 20 from 1834-1838, No. 67 from 1845-1864 and No. 18 from 1871-1873. You’ll also find statues of Andersen at the north end of King’s Garden and in Copenhagen City Hall Square.

Nyhavn’s infrastructure underwent improvements over the years, especially with the building of a new bridge in 1912. Ocean-going vessels became too large for the shallow canal, however, and though small vessel freight traffic kept the port alive for a time, Nyhavn became devoid of marine traffic after World War II. A group of local citizens formed the Nyhavn Society in

the mid-1960s to push for the harbor’s revitalization, and in 1977 Nyhavn became a heritage harbor for museum- quality ships (south side) and privately owned wooden ships (north side). Making the quay pedestrian-friendly in 1980 revitalized the area, as restaurants and bars could offer ample outdoor seating and cobblestone walkways beckoned one and all to return to this historic waterway in the center of Copenhagen. SIMPLE DANISH PLEASURES Today, sipping a cold Carlsberg on a warm Danish afternoon while street musicians entertain passersby among the old boats, colorful facades and bustling eateries of Nyhavn’s northern (sunny!) side is as essential a Copenhagen experience as visiting the Little Mermaid sculpture or reveling in the magic of Tivoli Gardens. Nyhavn’s southern side is quieter and lined with lavish mansions, like the massive Charlottenborg Palace, and of course, offers the best view of Copenhagen’s iconic tableau. A tradition among locals is to purchase a bottle of Danish beer from a nearby shop (public drinking is an acceptable practice in Denmark) and sit beside the canal, enjoying Nyhavn’s vibe and saving more than a few kroner.

SAMPLING SMØRREBRØD While Nyhavn’s eateries offer a variety of cuisines, you may be tempted to try a traditional Danish meal – and that means sampling smørrebrød. When industrialization reached Denmark in the 19th century, workmen began packing lunches and the tradition of smørrebrød—which translates to ‘butter on bread’—emerged. Danish restaurants began offering versions of it in the 1880s, resulting in popular options like håndmad, made from a simple piece of bread, butter and fillings; amagermad, made from French bread and rye bread layered with butter; højtbelagt, made from extravagant layers of toppings; and smørrebrødslagkage, a layer cake made from slices of wheat bread stacked with various fillings.

Nyhavn’s famed 17th- and 18th-century townhouses are privately owned but offer insights into Copenhagen’s past. No. 9 is the oldest building along the canal and is said to be unmodified since its construction in 1681. A tattoo parlor in operation since 1884 that claims to be the world’s oldest is located in the basement of No. 17. The parlor’s most famous client? Denmark’s King Frederik IX. No. 18 houses a Hans Christian Andersen-themed souvenir shop, and No. 20 has a plaque commemorating that the writer lived there when his first collection— Tales, Told for Children —was published in 1835.

Joe Wall is an American writer who’s lived and worked in Australia, Fiji and New Zealand. His affinity for the word ‘mate’ appears permanent.

exploring REMBRANDT’S AMSTERDAM

PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST in Amsterdam

An energetic and curious young man, Rembrandt left his bucolic hometown of Leiden in the final days of 1631 with his sights set on Amsterdam. Here, he began to practice as a professional portraitist, tutor art students, and amass an impressive outside art collection. It was also where he fell in love and married Saskia van Uylenburgh. They married in the city and bought a house in the artist- centric Breestraat district (more on this later). Tragically, Saskia lost three of their four children shortly after birth. Saskia herself would die young in 1642, making Rembrandt a widower at just thirty-six. In the following years, he dove into ill-fated relationships and fell into deeply difficult financial times. He eventually declared his insolvency—surrendering his assets and transferring his house to his son. Rembrandt auctioned many paintings, collected pieces, and moved to a more modest home in the then-working-class Rozengracht enclave. He would live, work, and create in Amsterdam for another thirteen years before dying in the fall of 1669. Nearly four centuries later, you can still walk in his footsteps as you explore the beloved capital. REMBRANDT HOUSE MUSEUM: Where Life Inspired Art The ideal starting point on your artistic journey is his first home. The city-center-located Rembrandt House Museum is where the artist lived, loved, lost, and worked for nearly twenty years. When Rembrandt moved into this upscale home in the vibrant and eclectic Breestraat in 1639, he had been commissioned to paint The Night Watch . When he was left tangled in debt and ultimately bankrupt in 1658, the historic home was sold at a foreclosure auction and subdivided into smaller residences. In the early 20th century, artists Jan Veth and Jozef Israëls purchased the property and hired designer and architect Karel de Bazel to restore the home. While only a few early paintings can be viewed here, the museum features many drawings and etchings—along with his printmaking studio, complete with a printing press.

BY DYLAN BARMMER

He’s widely regarded among history’s most talented and accomplished painters. Some even view him as one of the greatest visual artists ever to live and create. Yet when he left his first Amsterdam home after two decades of prolific productivity in the Netherlands’ colorful capital, he did so in deep debt—equal parts Baroque and broke. His name was Rembrandt Haremnszoon van Rijn. But during a prolific career that saw him author more than 300 paintings, 300 etchings, and 2,000 drawings and essentially define the Baroque era of art, Amsterdam’s most famous adopted son would be known simply by one indelible name: Rembrandt.

Northern Europe

In the opening months of 2023, the museum underwent an extensive renovation and reimagination before reopening to the public. More recently excavated everyday objects like tobacco pipes and pots are now on display in the home. Rembrandt House Museum Head of Collections Epco Runia now calls the historic home and museum “the only surviving piece of art education from the 17th century.” RIJKSMUSEUM: The Ultimate Rembrandt Collection The best place to view his masterpieces is the fabled Rijksmuseum, located in Amsterdam South’s Museum Square. Rijksmuseum is home to the world’s largest collection of Rembrandt’s paintings, including The Jewish Bride and his perceived masterpiece, The Night Watch . The latter, whose full name is the less-memorable The Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq , took two years for Rembrandt to complete following its commission for the new hall of the musketeer branch of the Dutch Civic Militia, the Klovenjersdoelen. The world-famous painting has called the Rijksmuseum home since its current iteration opened in 1885. The iconic museum is also home to a comprehensive collection of drawings that span all of Rembrandt’s periods and styles. As an added plus, the historic museum also exhibits works by fellow native sons Vincent Van Gogh and Johannes Vermeer.

A LASTING LEGACY in Amsterdam

It often seems that every artist’s life is destined to be overflowing with personal tragedy and uncertainty. But Rembrandt’s life was far from just dreary or tortured, and his overall output was truly prolific. Primarily characterized by his use of chiaroscuro, which theatrically employs light and shadow in a dramatic style first mastered by Caravaggio, Rembrandt’s paintings also exude a tangible energy and personality—just like the city of Amsterdam. Dylan Barmmer lives in Costa Mesa, California. He is the founder and raconteur of Word Is Born (WordIsBorn.net), the passionate creator of Random Acts of Poetry and an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame.

EDINBURGH’S

ORIGINAL PRINCE CHARLES

He is the “bonnie prince” of popular legend, celebrated in many songs and poems. Visit Scotland today, and you’ll find his green tartan-clad image everywhere, from T-shirts to shortbread tins, and his name on menu items from French Toast to Beef Wellington. You can even order a Bonnie Prince Charlie at the bar and enjoy a Scotch-based cocktail. Yet, the beloved Prince lived most of his life outside of Scotland. Quite the Looker Prince Charles Edward Stuart was given the nickname of bonnie—the Scots word for pretty—for his boyish good looks. He was also known as “the Young Pretender” and “the Young Chevalier,” but those didn’t quite stick. The populace does love a handsome prince, after all. He was the grandson of King James VII. Raised in exile in Rome, his desire for military success and belief in his family’s right to the throne led him to plan an invasion of England. And it was perhaps his charm and good looks that helped him sway the Highlanders to join him.

BY MARI DE ARMAS

Northern Europe

Bonnie Prince Charlie, played by actor Sam Heughan, becomes a central figure, but not without some controversy. The showrunners decided to portray him as an ineffectual leader who ultimately led the Highlanders to their doom. Whichever way you land on this interpretation, one thing is certain: his legacy in Scotland is inescapable. Walk With Charlie in Edinburgh and Beyond To walk in the footsteps of Charles, Edinburgh is a very good start. Two months after landing in the Outer Hebrides with just a handful of supporters to begin his campaign, he’d amassed sufficient Highland clansmen to be able to occupy Edinburgh and declare his father, James, the rightful king. It’s said that 60,000 cheering people lined the Royal Mile to welcome him. His men couldn’t capture Edinburgh Castle from government troops. Still, he set up court in Holyrood Palace and won his first significant victory over Hanoverian troops at the Battle of Preston Pans.

He landed in Scotland in 1745, raised an army and eventually advanced into England. But he and his troops were forced to retreat, and Charles was eventually stopped at the tragic Battle of Culloden in 1746. After Culloden, Flora MacDonald, a young Jacobite heroine, helped him escape over the sea to Skye, as the romantic “The Skye Boat Song” goes, when government troops were hunting him. The tale of his escape is cemented into Scottish folklore, contemporary literature and entertainment. Renewed Interest in the Prince Some have claimed that we are living in the golden age of historical fiction—a sub-genre that sets an imagined story within the setting of a true event. Readers are increasingly drawn to these immersive and engaging stories as a way to learn about historical events, figures, and cultures. Among the most successful historical fantasy novels of recent times is Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series about, a fictional tale of time travel and romance that begins in the era of the Jacobite Risings. So popular, in fact, the novels were made into a television series that is now in its seventh season.

Scotland’s most famous rebels

The legend of the Bonnie Prince is less well-known than that of William Wallace. Say the word Braveheart and your mind conjures up an image of Mel Gibson’s face painted in blue. However, it’s important to note that the Oscar-winning film was woefully inaccurate. For starters, Braveheart is associated with Robert the Bruce and not William Wallace. Historians are also quick to point out that some of the battles and weapons used were incorrect. And those with an interest in film settings will be deeply disappointed to learn that this quintessentially Scottish story was primarily filmed in Ireland—except for the sweeping landscapes. The rocky Highlands of Scotland near Loch Leven and Glen Coe simply cannot be impersonated. Better than visiting a film set, you can see the real battle sites. This is, after all, a land of mighty fortresses on rocky heights, isolated keeps and great halls in towering strongholds where great men discussed affairs of state against backdrops of regal splendor. Foremost among these landmarks is Bannockburn. The site pays homage to Robert the Bruce’s hard-fought campaign to drive the English from Scotland and be recognized as the rightful king inside his own country. Nearby, the Wallace Monument rises abruptly from the flat plains. It’s the site of his victory in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, where he was knighted and named Guardian of the Kingdom of Scotland.

From the sublime to the tragic, you can visit the site of his demise on the battlefield of Culloden from the port of Invergordon. On the battlefield, stone cairns commemorate where the various clans fought and fell. Nearby is Urquhart Castle, destroyed by its own garrison to prevent the Prince’s forces from capturing it. Many glens and other places in the vicinity have associations with Bonnie Prince Charlie and Culloden’s grim aftermath. Like Edinburgh, Portree and Skye are also very important to the story. Flora MacDonald helped the prince flee to Skye in a small boat—the prince was disguised as a maid named Betty Burke. On arrival on Skye, they hid overnight in a cottage and then made their way to Portree, where the Prince took a boat to the island of Raasay, eventually to be picked up by a French boat and taken to France.

TOGETHER IN EDINBURGH If you choose not to venture outside of the heart of Edinburgh, you’ll still be near William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. Before entering the gates of Edinburgh Castle, look up and see Scotland’s most celebrated historical figures standing guard outside the castle. Tinted a greenish-gray with age, the bronze men stare down upon all who enter Edinburgh’s famous attraction.

EDINBURGH on the SILVER SCREEN While Braveheart was not filmed in Scotland, Edinburgh has been the setting of some of Hollywood’s most beloved films. These are a sampling: Battle of the Sexes (1959) — The House of MacPherson was filmed at 45 George Street, and on the Royal Mile, Mr. Martin (played by Peter Sellers) had several scenes. Chariots of Fire (1981) — Harold Abrahams trains in Inverleith Park. The beach running scene was filmed on West Sands, St Andrews, Scotland, adjacent to the Old Course. Trainspotting (1996) — Renton (Ewan McGregor) and Spud (Ewen Bremner) flee along Princes Street. Davinci Code (2006) — Rosslyn Chapel has all the presence and mystery that perhaps encouraged its choice for the role. Sunshine on Leith (2013) — In the film, Davy and Yvonne sing “500 Miles” at The Mound.

Bordeaux Best of

By Sarah Rosner

TOAST WITH BORDEAUX IN BORDEAUX

SHOP WITH LOCALS See the authentic Bordeaux by browsing markets and antique stores in Les Capucins. Visit the Marché des Capucins, a market that is always abuzz with residents buying everything from garden- fresh produce and oysters on ice to homemade cakes and bread. Swing by the flea market Les Puces de Saint Michel and shop for even more antiques in Les Brocanteurs du Passage Saint Michel, a cluster of 18th-century townhouses and warehouses brimming with rare and precious merchandise. WITNESS UNESCO-LISTED CHURCHES Bordeaux’s skyline is dotted by the spires of churches that are so stunning that they’ve been deemed UNESCO World Heritage Sites. For instance, visit the Basilique Saint-Michel, built between the 14th and 15th centuries, to see a depiction of Saint Michael slaying a dragon.

The vineyards of Bordeaux produce, on average, more than 700 million bottles of wine each year, ranging from everyday table wine to some of the most prestigious wines in the world. While most are red wines, Bordeaux vineyards also produce a wide range of rosé, dry white, sweet white, dessert and sparkling wines. The region is divided into the left bank and right bank by the Gironde estuary. Don’t miss the opportunity to take an excursion to a château and taste some of the world-renowned wines of this area. STROLL THE PLACE The gracious Place de la Bourse is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Built during the reign of King Louis XV, it’s the perfect example of 18th-century neoclassical architecture. Once home to the city’s stock exchange, the majestic and imposing buildings now house the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the world’s largest reflecting pool.

Northern Europe

DAY TRIP TO SAINT-ÉMILION Approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) from Bordeaux, the preserved medieval village of Saint-Émilion is as famous for its red wines as for its special macaroons. There are also plenty of historical landmarks in the town. The 13th-century city walls are still reasonably intact, and you will delight in seeing the fascinating Église Monolithe, a 12th-century church carved into a cliff above the village. The 13th-century Trinity Chapel is a tribute to Saint Émilion, the 8th-century monk for whom the town is named. Sarah Rosner, a self-proclaimed foodie, is a member of the Regent marketing team. She finds joy in spending time with her beloved family while her extensive travels to over 20 countries and nearly all 50 US states have offered her a treasure trove of enriching life experiences.

The Basilique Saint-Seurin has a history dating back to the 6th century, making it one of the city’s oldest sanctuaries. The jewel in the crown is the Cathédrale Saint- André. Comparable in size to Notre Dame in Paris, one wall of the nave dates back as far as the 11th century, while most of the structure was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. It is also home to the Marcadé Collection, a treasure trove of famous medieval paintings. VISIT MUSÉE DES BEAUX-ARTS This museum and the adjacent Galerie des Beaux-Arts house an impressive collection of European art from the 16th through 20th centuries. Built in 1881, the museum recently re-opened after several years of in-depth renovation. Between the two wings housing the exhibits, there is a pleasant garden that you can stroll around and enjoy.

These may sound like fantastic stories from a popular modern fantasy series like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, or the Marvel Comics Universe. But what if we told you they actually date back more than 800 years—to a faraway time and place that still reveres and recites them to this day? They are the Icelandic Sagas. And they offer a fascinating, colorful, and magical window into the creative and often- chaotic history of this rugged island.

ILLUSTRATIONS BY VIVIAN BERMUDEZ

POETIC PROSE AND STORYTELLING EVOLUTION Written in a western dialect of Old Norse known as Old Icelandic by an unknown author or (more likely) authors, the sagas are regarded as the finest and best-known examples of Icelandic literature. While poetic in much of their content and scope, these Medieval classics are officially classified as prose narratives. And while they were formally recorded by hand in the 13th and 14th centuries, the sagas began as oral stories relating events that occurred in past centuries under the Icelandic Commonwealth—turbulent times often referred to as the Saga Age. You might say they’re among the earliest “audio books.” There are more than 40 known and recorded sagas, with many others believed to have been lost over time. These are a few favorites: TESTING THE FRIENDSHIP AND LOYALTY OF NJÁL This story spans a 50-year blood feud—which is why it’s the longest and most well-known of the collection. Among the wide range of complex characters are two friends. The bond between the sagacious chieftain Njáll Þorgeirsson and the fiercely loyal warrior Gunnar Hámundarson is tested amidst a landscape of feuds, vendettas, and legal disputes that ensnare them and their kin. As tensions escalate, the saga unfolds with gripping intensity, showcasing the intricate workings of Viking-age society, where honor and vengeance shape the lives of its characters. The characters grapple with moral dilemmas, portraying the timeless truths of honor and justice. However, the consequences of their actions lead to tragic outcomes.

THE EPIC JOURNEY OF EGIL THE VIKING WARRIOR This saga recounts the tumultuous life of Egil Skallagrímsson, a Viking warrior, poet, and farmer. Born with a fierce temperament and remarkable physical strength, Egil faces numerous trials, including exile, battles, and personal losses. Despite his volatile nature, Egil displays cunning intelligence and poetic prowess, earning both respect and fear from his peers. As the story progresses from his youthful savagery to mature wisdom, the saga delves into themes of honor, revenge, and the complexities of Viking society, showcasing Egil’s resilience in the face of adversity and his enduring legacy as a formidable figure in Icelandic history.

LAXDÆLA LOVE TRIANGLE What legendary collection of stories wouldn’t feature a love triangle? Laxdæla Saga, which tells the tale of the people of Western Iceland’s Laxardalur Valley, revolves around exactly that—a main reason why it remains one of the more popular, evocative, and moving sagas all these centuries later. Kjartan Ólafsson and Bolli Þorleiksson grew up together as best friends, only to see a mutual love for the brilliant, beautiful Guðrún Ósvífrsdóttir come between them. When Guðrún marries Bolli, Kjartan becomes enraged. Bolli ultimately attacks Kjartan at the urging of Guðrún—and immediately overwhelmed with grief, holds him while he dies. Bolli is then killed when Kjartan’s family retaliates three years later.

There’s even a Saga Museum in Reykjavik, where the tales come to life in some rather interesting and interactive ways. Housed in a restored warehouse near the city’s harbor, the museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and features 17 different exhibits inspired by the sagas. Visitors are guided through these stirring and informative displays via an audio guide that’s available in English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Swedish, or Icelandic. You might say it’s here that the Icelandic Sagas’ Audio Book Saga comes full circle. Dylan Barmmer lives in Costa Mesa, California. He is the founder and raconteur of Word Is Born (WordIsBorn.net), the passionate creator of Random Acts of Poetry and an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame.

THE ENDURING SONG OF THE SAGAS Revered as excellent examples of Medieval European literature, the Icelandic Sagas also claim a massive influence over modern Icelandic language and society. From murals painted on buildings to published novels and poems to classical quotes and sayings still spoken by Icelanders, these classic characters and tales live on today.

Steeped in SAILING

As you arrive in the port town of Horta on the island of Faial—one of nine islands that belong to Portugal and make up the island chain of the Azores, some 1,000 miles west of Lisbon in the Atlantic Ocean—an incredible sight greets you. There, festooning the seawalls surrounding the marina, hundreds of colorful murals tell the stories of the sailors, boats and adventurers who have sailed into port here before you. Some depictions are simply letters and numbers spelling out the names of boats and their arrival dates in the Marina da Horta. Others are far more elaborate, here in situ for years, even decades, weathering the punishing salt spray and winds of the Atlantic Ocean and embellished with paintings of flags, animals, marine life, route maps and more.

LORE HORTA IS LEGENDARY AMONG YACHTIES

by Terry Ward

It’s an open-air museum of sorts that’s considered to be the largest maritime painting collection in the world—and there’s no entry fee to access it. Just stroll and explore. For sailors arriving in the Azores on their way across the Atlantic, Horta is usually the primary stop. And painting a mural in the town’s marina is a rite of passage as much as a superstitious ritual that’s now intrinsically tied into the fabric of this tiny place that’s the westernmost point of the European tectonic plate and a haven for yachties from all over the world. For the captains and crews of everything from majestic triple-masted expedition yachts to fiberglass monohulls that barely sleep more than two crew, Horta beckons for a break from staid galley rations (one can only eat so many lentils and beans, after all) and the long Transatlantic crossing between the islands of the Caribbean and mainland Europe, among other waypoints.

North Atlantic

On the southeast side of Faial, Horta’s protected harbor has long welcomed whalers and mariners to this island with a population of just 14,000 residents. And one very special café that’s perhaps the most legendary yachting pub in the world, here on the harbor front, still rolls out the welcome mat for all who arrive by sea or air. Fronting the marina, it’s impossible to miss the bright blue façade of Peter Café Sport, which for more than a century has welcomed sailors from the world over for comfort, camaraderie and nostalgia. The bar’s cozy interior is festooned with everything from colorful nautical flags and paper Post-it notes seeking crew to whaling-era and yachting memorabilia from all the world’s oceans. There’s a log book where sailors share notes from their crossings. Peter’s is a one-stop shop offering a table that doesn’t rock and a warm meal atop it, a post office address for sailors to receive mail, provisioning and repair advice, and pretty much anything else a traveling sailor could desire before continuing their seaward journey. It’s the kind of storied place where long lost friends have crossed paths by happenstance, cruising the world’s oceans, new friendships have been forged, surely a romance or two sparked and many a hearty bowl of “whale soup” (the house favorite hearty stew, which is actually made from vegetables and beef) slurped down. And then there are the legendary gin and tonics—brightened up with Azorean passion fruit liqueur—that flow.

Find BEAUTY in UNEXPECTED places while visiting HORTA

To step inside Peter Café Sport, managed by the local Azevedo family for generations, is to feel the history housed within its walls and the lore of lives devoted to adventuring on the oceans. Just upstairs, the Scrimshaw Museum houses an incredible collection of engraved whale bones and teeth, covering both ornamental objects and pieces formerly used in everyday use in the Azores and beyond. The waters surrounding the Azores are home to 24 species of cetaceans, including 6 species of dolphins. And while whaling officially ended in the Azores in 1984, Horta was once an important stop for whalers from North America bound for points in the Pacific. Pick up a bottle of the house Gin do Mar, blended with passionfruit, for a unique souvenir to bring home. And if you can tear yourself away from the conviviality of Peter’s Café Sport and the many storytellers inside, consider heading out with a guide or renting a car to visit the Caldeira do Cabeço Gordo, about 25 minutes inland from Horta and accessed via winding roads up. At a viewpoint within the Caldeira do Faial Nature Reserve, on the southern rim of the volcano, you can peer into the mile-wide caldera and enjoy views that stretch all the way to neighboring Pico Island. The grand vistas might make you feel small and fill you with wonder— especially when you consider the dot in the vast Atlantic Ocean you’re presently perched upon, and all the world’s many travelers who have similarly found their ways here to Horta and Faial.

24 AN ETERNAL

Hours

ROME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY, BUT YOU CAN ENJOY IT IN THAT TIME

By Jennefer Teegen

It may no longer be the empire that ruled Europe and beyond. Still, regal Rome remains an epic cosmopolitan capital with bustling piazzas and wide boulevards that proudly reflect the past. Architectural icons, magnificent frescoes, ornate cathedral spires, historical ruins, world-class shopping, and phenomenal food grace the Eternal City. There is so much to see and do that you could easily spend a week here and feel you’ve missed most attractions. But if I only had 24 hours to enjoy the best of Rome, this is how I’d spend the perfect day.

Mediterranean

A REGENT WELCOME Arriving well rested at Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport, a smartly-dressed driver meets me at the baggage carousel before whisking me to my hotel in the Riona Regola neighborhood. This area is stunning. In ancient times, it was where the charioteers trained for their races. In the modern day, it’s home to a beloved Roman retreat, Hotel De’ Ricci. AN AMAZING STAY Hotel De’ Ricci is a boutique hotel of eight rooms that feels like the townhome of a long-lost wealthy uncle. The staff, as usual, offers an effusive welcome. Before I know it, my luggage is discretely delivered to my room while I’m enjoying a glass of wine. At Hotel De’ Ricci, professional sommeliers are always on hand, and its cellar gives the whole city a run for its money; this luxury Roman hideaway is a wine lover’s delight.

TASTE OF ROME I would join a small group tour of Rome’s best

tastes and authentic flavors in the late afternoon. A knowledgeable guide would take us to their favorite trattorias to sample the best cheeses, prosciuttos, pasta carbonara, and crunchy supplì in the city. We would visit a family-owned restaurant to indulge in Carciofi alla Romana, an enticing blend of baby artichokes braised and slow-cooked with olive oil, fresh garlic, mint, and parsley—my favorite. ROOM FOR DESSERT On my perfect day in Rome, there is always room for dessert, especially a superb scoop of creamy gelato. I would go for a scoop of pistachio from Frigidarium. A staple in old Rome for more than 15 years, it continues to be one of the best gelaterias in the city.

Mediterranean

A NIGHT TOUR I would walk off the extra calories on a night-time tour of Rome’s great attractions. Lit by the moon, the stars and street lamps, Piazza Campo de Fiori, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain glow in a golden hue. CONQUER THE MORNING Taking advantage of being an early riser, I’d head over to the world’s smallest state, Vatican City, to walk St. Peter’s Square and see the treasures of the Vatican Museum and the glorious ceiling artwork of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel without the crowds. BEFORE BOARDING MY SHIP No one can deny the glamour and style of Italian fashion, especially Rome’s designer boutiques and palatial flagship stores. Before embarking on my voyage, I’d stop at Via dei Condotti and Via Borgognona, near the foot of the Spanish Steps, to shop for a dress to wear to dinner at Prime 7 later that evening.
