Europe

As part of Intrepid’s 8-day Italy Real Food Adventure that winds through Bologna, I was able to do more than just eat. I learned how to cook.

This place that clings to a retro Soviet-style existence isn’t really a destination for sightseeing as much as it is an experience in time travel…

Think you know everything there is to know about cruises? Think again.

It’s an impeccably well-preserved medieval city with enough natural beauty, incredible cuisine, and outdoor activities to keep even the most hard-to-please vacationers entertained.

If the term “national park” conjures up images of snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, secluded hikes and unlimited adventures, we’re happy to report that you’re spot on.

In addition to sharing food and cocktails, and serving as my trekking sherpas, my group helped me experience Italy in ways that went far beyond the guidebook.
