Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, age 99, is headed home. After a mid-February admission to the hospital for what was reportedly only meant to be a few days stay, the royal has at last been granted permission to continue his post-surgery recovery at home in Windsor Castle, where he’s now reunited with wife Queen Elizabeth II. It’s been quite a hairy few weeks for the monarch while her husband battled infection and “a pre-existing condition,” per Buckingham Palace, to do with his heart....

The best resorts in the United States, according to Travel + Leisure readers, deliver a strong sense of local character and a distinct connectedness to their geographic surroundings, whether they’re in New England or California.

Nothing says good morning like a great cup of coffee. And while there are coffee shops that can do the job on seemingly every corner, some are simply cooler to hang out in than others — and don’t forget, studies suggest that drinking coffee (and alcohol) may help you live longer. Ezra Baker, a certified Q Grader by the Coffee Quality Institute (basically a coffee sommelier), said he looks for a sense of “genuineness” and a cool aesthetic when choosing a coffee shop....

In a naming ceremony over the weekend, Viking officially welcomed its newest ship, Viking Neptune, into its ever-growing fleet. The 930-passenger vessel, a sibling to seven other ocean ships — soon to be eight, with the launch of Viking Saturn later this year — all of which have celestial namesakes. It was only appropriate, then, to have a retired NASA astronaut serve as Viking Neptune’s godmother. And not just an astronaut, but an aquanaut, too....

Most Colorado visitors start and end their trip in Denver, but the most scenic part of the state is far from the bustling state capital. In the southwestern corner of Colorado, tree-covered hills lead to towering peaks and hot springs bubble up from the Earth like magic. And many of the state’s best hot springs — and most vibrant fall colors — can be found along the Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop, an 800-mile driving route that leads to 23 natural hot springs....

Travelers on a recent Southwest flight were treated to an unexpected dose of cuteness thanks to their fellow passenger, RJ. “My social little 22month old greeting every passenger on every flight we took the past couple of weeks!" mom Kelli Nielsen captioned a recent post of her toddler saying “Hi!” to every passenger he walked passed on the way to his seat.

Some people love air travel, but then there are the people who love air travel. If you’re looking to maximize your time in the sky, you might consider taking the current longest flight in the world — just board a Singapore Airlines plane in New York City and disembark in Singapore 9,537 miles later. But the longest nonstop commercial flight ever operated happened back in March 2020. Air Tahiti Nui flew nonstop from Papeete, Tahiti to Paris, traveling 9,765 miles, bypassing its usual stopover in Los Angeles due to pandemic-related travel restrictions in place at the time....

When it comes to air travel, flight attendants are the keepers of the cabin. They’re not just there to bring you drinks and snacks; they’re stewards for safety, advocates for passengers, and all-around in-flight experts. And while they’ll always do their best to ensure you have a comfortable experience on board, there are some over-the-top requests they just can’t accommodate. Here are some of the most outlandish requests flight attendants have received from passengers — some of which they were miraculously able to fulfill....

Visiting a museum should be a vacation activity option available to all. That’s why it’s essential for these cultural institutions to prioritize accessibility. “Museums have made great strides in recent years to become accessible and meet the needs of visitors with disabilities,” Miriam Eljas, the co-founder and CEO of accessibleGO.com, told Travel + Leisure, noting many offer programming for guests who use wheelchairs, and who need audio or visual assistance. “In general, most museums — especially those built more recently — are all accessible to some degree, but there are some that go above and beyond with specific features, offerings, and events, including sensory days....

Owning a vacation home has never been more popular.

The 57-year-old actress took her teens to iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball on Friday night, and they coordinated their ensembles to create a very festive family look. Shields wore a strapless red top that hugged her torso tightly and had a big bow on the back that draped down to the floor....

After more than 50 years in the business, Dolly Parton can still surprise us. The longtime country music phenom has played some of the biggest stages in the country, collected some impressive hardware (hello, 10 Grammy Awards!), and still remained as down-to-earth as ever. But after all of these decades in the limelight, Parton still has some anecdotes from her life that we’ve hardly, if ever, heard — including how the singer never knew that Johnny Cash, who would become a good friend, was struggling with drug addiction as his career was taking off....
