Rick Steves wants you to break away from the over-hyped sites when you travel. “You find that everybody wants to go to the same places more than ever,” he said. Even still, this European travel expert and TV host, at the helm of the popular tour company Rick Steves’ Europe, said there are plenty of smart ways to enjoy peak season. “There are great alternatives to the famous places everybody is hell-bent on going to,” Steves said in an interview with Travel + Leisure, having just returned stateside after a whirlwind 45-day research tour of more than 10 major European cities....

For more than 10 years, guests at Iceland’s Hotel Rangá have been greeted by a 10-foot tall, quiet, selfie-loving doorman. Hrammur lives in the foyer and loves Christmas, as other hotel employees would tell you. He is Hotel Rangá’s resident taxidermy polar bear and one of hundreds of unique pieces of décor and artworks adorning the rooms, suites, and public spaces of the property, infusing it with character and lending it a unique sense of place....

On any other day, I’d dodge a buzzing bee near me, flapping my hand in every direction until it zapped off, but today I was the one pursuing them. I leaned in toward a bed of lavender blooms — my concentration intense — eager to observe the bee that was trailing the flower. “Do you see the hair along its dark body?” asked beekeeper and honey sommelier Paula Carnell. I nudged my head even closer to the fuzzy, blackberry-resembling creature....

This slim, four-tiered shelfing unit is only 5.1 inches wide, meaning it can fit in those awkward spaces with no problem — especially on its durable gliding wheels.

Wrap up Tuscany, throw in idyllic beaches and a diverse cultural history, and you can begin to get a sense of Mallorca. Although it’s hardly sleepy, like its Balearic neighbors Menorca and Formentera, it also doesn’t have the nightlife and Bohemian spirit of Ibiza. Instead, the identity of this 1,400-square-mile island is tied to stunning landscapes (rugged mountains in the north, sandy beaches in the south, and lush interiors with cypress and olive trees) and an appreciation of art and design, which have made it more than worthy of its recent wave of chic new luxury hotels and an array of Michelin-starred restaurants (10 stars across nine restaurants as of December 2021, compared to Ibiza, which has one)....

Ah, the perils of having children who speak their minds! On the one hand, they’re expressing their opinions as they were taught and on the other, well, things could be said at the wrong time — although when you’re the child of a famous comedian the “wrong” time is often the right time. And Tina Fey’s 8-year-old daughter Penelope crashing her mom’s interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers proves just that....

It looks like the Bryants are in store for some big changes. Vanessa Bryant revealed Thursday that her daughter, Natalia Bryant, was accepted to Loyola Marymount University. While the mom of four is definitely proud, we get the feeling she’s not quite ready to let her baby girl go, just over a year after the death of husband Kobe Bryant and their second-eldest daughter, Gianna. Vanessa made the big announcement in an Instagram story featuring a photo of the LMU campus in Los Angeles....

In addition to her chic clothing line and iconic stint as a Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham is perhaps best known for her sly smize — you know, the not-quite-smile she displays in almost every photo. But the mom of four does smile, which she documented in a throwback selfie her 15-year-old son Cruz shared on Instagram. In the photo, snapped by VB herself, the mother-son duo are seen showing off matching white bathrobes and grinned for the camera....

Each winter, an estimated 20,000 gray whales travel the 6,000 miles from the chilly waters of Alaska to the balmy bays of Mexico. Come spring, when the water warms, the whales travel back north again. (And you thought your commute was bad.) Getty Images/Discovery Channel Images The gray whales make the trek to Alaska to the feeding grounds of the Bering Sea to feast on millions of tiny crustaceans — a delicacy in the gray whale world — before traveling south to the warmer temperatures for mating season....

If you didn’t know this well-known fact: Brooke Shields is a goddess. She’s talented, powerful, and is absolutely stunning — all of which is apparent in this new swimsuit snapshot. On Dec 6, Shields posted a sultry photo of herself in a golden one-piece up against a concrete wall. You can find the photo HERE. She captioned the photo with a simple phrase, “Sunday” with a sun emoji and tagged the photographer @helenachristensen....

A few disclaimers before we dig in to Wire star Dominic West’s maybe-maybe not affair with co-star Lily James: we have no idea of the conditions of West and wife Catherine Fitzgerald’s marriage, and it may well be that both West and Fitzgerald are free to find connections elsewhere. It may also be that the paparazzi surrounding West and James as they wandered off-set in Rome simply caught an unfortunate angle, and West wasn’t really kissing her neck quite as much as it looked like he was....
