Canada’s cities often appear on many “most livable lists,” and for good reason: they’re walkable, full of cultural attractions, and close to some of the country’s most inspiring landscapes. The qualities that attract residents — or would-be residents — make the best cities in Canada just as appealing to travelers. Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, Travel + Leisure asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more....

Adventure-seeking travelers flock to Iceland to climb glaciers and traverse the black-sand beaches of Vik, plunge into geothermal hot springs on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and hike around the waterfalls of the Golden Circle. And starting in July, the Nordic country is slated to add one more destination to the list. The team behind Blue Lagoon Iceland is unveiling Highland Base - Kerlingarfjöll, a new retreat located at the base of the Kerlingarfjöll mountain range in the country’s central highlands....

We all have a vision of our best and most functioning grown-up self — and mine is the version of me that can consistently get myself up, maybe do some kind of workout and throw some random fruit and veg in an easy-to-use and clean blender before it’s time to start work for the day. (If this seems like a low bar, that’s because it is!) As someone who on-the-record lives off low-energy, easy-to-make fruit and veggie beverages, a good blender is my best friend — and as someone living in a household with multiple people who might want want to blend different things at different times, a personal-sized to-go blender is a holy grail item....

For more than 200 years the Dutch have been devouring a compact, circular confection known as the Stroopwafel. It is a texturally dynamic rendering of soft caramel syrup, sandwiched between chewy, cross-hatched cookies (English translation: syrup waffle). Buoyed by this on-the-nose branding — and the indisputable fact that they’re downright delicious — they’ve long existed as cultural sensations in the Low Countries of Europe. And yet it wasn’t until 2016 that the snack amassed a sizable following on this side of the pond....

With more than 150 miles of spectacular shoreline, Sydney is an ocean lover’s paradise. Its lush headlands offer views from all angles — especially when dolphins and whales put on a show — and beachside suburbs drip with local culture and flavor. And now, with a freshly minted multiday coastal walk that connects many of the city’s iconic landmarks, neighborhoods, and natural wonders, it’s easier than ever to explore the blue lungs of Australia’s largest city in one magnificent journey....

An easy, scenic drive just 80 miles east of Seattle brings you to Suncadia Resort in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. On a recent visit in early June, I was thrilled to see the snow-covered peaks appear in the distance within minutes of the airport, increasing my anticipation of arriving at the property. My home for the next few days was a three-bedroom house set among pine trees and winding roads, and my car for the duration was a new Volvo V90 hybrid, ideal for mountain driving....

While many trends tend to be cyclical, good shoes always stand the test of time. You might see a new footwear style crop up every now and then, or there could be an instance of a trendy pair of sneakers getting some well-deserved recognition for their versatility, but largely, the classics are popular for a reason. Case in point: I wore Nike Air Force 1 sneakers throughout my teenage years and found myself pairing them with everything from my favorite jeans to dresses, if I wanted a laid back yet put-together look....

It’s been less than three months since the death of Kobe Bryant and 13-year-old Gianna Bryant — and yesterday was the first Easter Vanessa Bryant spent without her husband, and her 3 daughters, Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 9 months, spent without their father. The holiday also marked baby Capri’s very first Easter. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-5_hBTj5KQ/ The loving mom shared an adorable photo of herself with 3-year-old Bianka. Vanessa wore a bright pink dress with a camera over her shoulder and can be seen kneeling down hugging Bianka who was carrying a white Easter egg basket....

Oenophiles have been making the pilgrimage to Napa Valley since the 1970s. Encompassing the city of Napa, as well as quaint towns like Rutherford, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga, this epicurean hot spot has gained even more notoriety in recent years, leading to a boom in tourism and widespread growth. Verdant vineyards extend in every direction. There are high-end hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and a scenic wine train. Despite the influx of buzzy things to see and do, though, the biggest draw continues to be the wine....

It takes more than good terrain to be a truly great ski town. When you’re walking in ski boots and lugging your equipment around, a town that sits at the base of the ski area or has a great bus system will make all the difference. And while you’re probably booking the trip to make some turns, some would argue that a bustling après-ski scene, good eats, and non-ski-related activities — from shopping and spas to snowshoeing and sleigh rides — are just as important as a reliable snow base, spacious groomers, and powder days....

Sure, you could rent a lakeside cabin or a beach house again for your next vacation. But why not bring those watery vistas full circle by renting a houseboat in a spectacular U.S. location instead? A houseboat may not first come to mind as your typical vacation rental. But you’ll find them listed on websites like Airbnb and VRBO as well as niche sites like Houseboating.org, to name a few, with onboard amenities that range from kayaks and bicycles to waterslides twisting down from the top deck....

Brooke Shields might be one of the most iconic models to come out of the 1980s, but her daughters Rowan and Grier Henchy are standing in line as the next generation of fashion icons. The mom of two is ready to hand over the reins because both young women are already guiding her on how to dress in 2022. Joking to People that she used to dress “like an Upper East Side person” (aka very conservative), Shields is looking to 19-year-old Rowan and 16-year-old Grier for guidance because they understand fashion differently....

Easter is full of many things: Easter egg hunts, egg dying and, of course, opening the basket from the Easter Bunny. It is never too early to start stocking up on all your holiday needs. Although Easter may be over a month away, prepping ahead of time is never a bad idea. It can take away the awful stress of last-minute shopping. No parent enjoys rushing to different stores the night before to gather candy, stuffed bunnies, and fun toys to fill those baskets perfectly....

Elizabeth Hurley has yet again wowed Instagram with one of her iconic — and crazy sexy — bikini snapshots. On Jan 22, Hurley posted a jaw-dropping bikini photo with the caption, “Yes, I could be in a swimming pool with a pink flamingo….. or I could be snuggled up with my doggies in Blighty, eating a Terry’s chocolate orange and about to watch the final season of Ozark….. you decide.”...

Hundreds of flights were delayed and canceled on Tuesday as the airline industry worked to get back on track following a holiday weekend of record travelers and mass disruption. More than 1,000 flights were delayed and more than 100 canceled into or within the United States on Tuesday, according to flight tracker FlightAware. That comes a day after more than 250 flights were canceled and more than 3,800 were delayed as millions traveled through American airports for the July 4 holiday weekend....

We’ve found the next big scream queens and someone should call Jordan Peele ASAP. Gabrielle Union and her almost-three-year-old daughter Kaavia pulled off some major “zombie apocalypse” action in Union’s latest TikTok video and it’s must-see Halloween footage. In the video, the mother-daughter pair can be seen playing “zombie” on a play structure. After Kaavia runs over to Union, the actress yells, “I am a zombie. I’m going to eat your kneecaps,” then chases the girl on the grass....
