Amelia Duggan A road trip turned out to be the perfect way to track down monks, hippies and eco-warriors in remote corners of the New Mexico high desert — especially at dusk when the colours of the canyons deepen. NEW MEXICO P.94 Julia Buckley Bologna has escaped overtourism because it doesn’t have any bucket-list attractions — unless you count the food. It’s perfect for a weekend of sightseeing — wandering beneath the famous porticoes and enjoying memorable food and drink. BOLOGNA P.148 Adrian Phillips A forest slide, an ice-fi lled cave, a fairytale castle and legends of derring-do — the Salzburg region is a land of myth and adventure, where the hills are as alive with the cackle of witches as the strains of ‘do- re-mi’. It’s quite a ride. AUSTRIA P.106 Pól Ó Conghaile I’ve travelled all over the world, but home — Ireland — is where my heart is. I loved the challenge I was set: to look beyond the landscapes, history and tradition and get under the skin of life and culture across the island today. IRELAND P.74 Emma Gregg Of all the African capitals I’ve visited, spotless, forward-thinking Kigali is one of the easiest to like. Travellers who breeze through on their way to Rwanda’s superstar attraction — the mountain gorillas — are really missing out. KIGALI P.138 Contributors National Geographic Traveller (UK) is published by APL Media Limited, Unit 310, Highgate Studios, 53-79 Highgate Road, London NW5 1TL nationalgeographic.co.uk/travel Editorial T: 020 7253 9906.
