@costadibaunei brings us to Cala Goloritzé, the Sardinian stunner just crowned the world’s best beach 🇮🇹 🌍🏖️ 🇮🇹 Located on Sardinia’s rugged east coast, this UNESCO-listed gem is tucked beneath limestone cliffs and reachable only by foot or boat; no wonder it stays pristine. 🥾 Hiking in? Start from the Golgo Plateau above Baunei. It’s a 3.5km trek (about 1.5 hours down, double back up). Bring 2L of water, snacks, and good shoes, flip-flops only when you hit that powdery sand! 🚤 Prefer by sea? Book a small-boat tour from Santa Maria Navarrese. You’ll cruise past the Baunei coast, swim in Piscine di Venere (Venus Pools), and stop at dreamy coves like Cala Mariolu and Cala Gabbiani. 🤿 Snorkelers: don’t forget your mask, the water here glows in layers of turquoise, and you might even spot dolphins if you’re lucky. Would you hike in for paradise or cruise up in style? 💙🇮🇹 📽️ @costadibaunei 📍Cala Goloritzé, Sardinia, Italy

Spring is the season where these destinations truly shine, fewer crowds, blooming landscapes, and that soft golden light you can’t fake 🌸✨ Here’s where to go (and why) for a spring escape worth remembering: 🇯🇵 Japan (@1min.traveller): Cherry blossom season is short but unforgettable, plan for late March to early April in Kyoto or Tokyo for peak bloom. 🇳🇱 Netherlands (@fokkebok, @nick_skeyes): Visit Keukenhof Gardens or cycle through the tulip fields in Lisse from mid-April to early May. 🇳🇿 Mackenzie Country, NZ (@marieisaway): Still snow on the peaks, but the valleys burst into wildflower bloom. Lake Tekapo is picture-perfect in spring. 🇬🇧 London, UK (@sivanstravel): The parks come alive — check out cherry blossoms in Greenwich Park or St James’s Park, and head to Columbia Road Flower Market on Sundays. 🇮🇳 Bengaluru, India (@shakeebclicks): Jacaranda season hits in March–April. Head to Cubbon Park or the tree-lined roads near MG Road to catch the purple haze. 🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain (@visita_madrid): Spring is made for terrace hopping. Visit El Retiro for spring blooms and time your visit around the May Fiesta de San Isidro. 🇮🇹 Sardinia, Italy (@giusicasada): Before the summer rush, explore coastal trails like Cala Goloritzé and enjoy spring wildflowers across the island. Which of these spring stunners is on your bucket list? Or have one to add? Let us know! 🌸🌿

Forget Everest! @marco.miglionico takes us along the Manaslu Trek, one of Nepal’s most spectacular and lesser-known Himalayan routes 🇳🇵⛰️. Circling the world’s 8th highest peak, this 14–17 day trek offers a quieter, more authentic alternative to Everest, with dramatic suspension bridges, Tibetan Buddhist villages, glacial rivers, and the epic Larke Pass at 5,160m. 🛕❄️ Permits are required (it’s a restricted area), and hiring a guide is mandatory, but the reward? Fewer crowds, deep cultural immersion, and jaw-dropping alpine beauty every step of the way. 🌄✨ Would you hike this hidden gem in the Himalayas? 🥾🌍 🎥 @marco.miglionico 📍 Manaslu Trek, Nepal

@erikaexplores takes us to the sun-soaked shores of Cape Town, where the beaches are as bold as the mountain views 🇿🇦☀️ Here are three you can’t miss: 🐧 Boulders Beach: Home to a colony of endangered African penguins. There’s an entry fee (part of a conservation effort), and early morning is the best time to see the penguins before it gets busy. 🏖 Camps Bay: Best for sundowners with a view. Framed by the Twelve Apostles, it’s Cape Town’s most glamorous stretch. Arrive early for parking and catch golden hour at a beachside café. 🌊 Clifton 4th Beach: A local fave. It’s sheltered from the wind, has Blue Flag status, and the softest white sand. But bring light gear, it’s a hike down (and back up) those steep stairs. views, vibes, or very cute wildlife, which one would you pick? 🐧🌞 📽 @erikaexplores for @beautifuldestinations 📍 Cape Town, South Africa #beautifuldestinations #beautifulcapetown #bestbeaches

Experience the birthplace of Afro-Brazilian culture in Pequena África, a small corner of Rio de Janeiro where you can watch locals samba their way through the streets with live music.. Pequena África, or Little Africa, is a vibrant and historically rich neighbourhood that weaves through areas like Saúde, Gamboa and Santo Cristo. Here, you’ll find colourful murals celebrating Black Brazilian icons, from musicians to freedom fighters, alongside museums and landmarks like the Valongo Wharf,  a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the streets of Little Africa pulse with energy, especially in the evenings when the sound of samba spills out from open squares. Pedra do Sal, now hosts one of the city’s most iconic street parties every Monday night. Whether you join a guided tour or simply follow the music, Little Africa offers a deeply moving and joyful connection to the roots of Brazilian identity. 📍 @visitbrasil  @embraturbrasil #VisitBrasil #FeelBrasil 🎥 @roger.rpgfpv @leandrorygue

The most photographed mountains in Peru are even more incredible in person. 🌈🇵🇪 Before you plan your trip, here’s what you need to know: ✈️ Fly to Cusco and spend 2-3 days there first - you’ll need to adjust to the altitude before attempting any trek 🗻 Peru’s Rainbow Mountains get their vibrant colors from mineral deposits layered over millions of years 🌦️ Visit May-September for clear skies and bold colors; early mornings offer the best light and fewer crowds 🥾 Choose your adventure: Vinicunca (17,060ft, challenging but iconic), Palcocoyo (easier hike, similar views), or Pallay Punchu (remote, for serious hikers) 📽️ @danielkordan 📍Rainbow Mountains in Peru

@emurray077 captures what might be the world’s most scenic football pitch! 🇳🇴🏔️⚽ Henningsvær Stadium sits on a rocky islet in Norway’s Lofoten Islands, surrounded by ocean, mountains, fish-drying racks and the open sea; it’s a dream for photographers, football fans and travelers alike! 🌅 When to go: Summer brings the Midnight Sun, winter offers snowy peaks and possible Northern Lights. Aim for early morning or golden hour for the best light. 📸 Best views: Use a drone near the west lighthouse path or hike Festvågtinden for sweeping vistas of the stadium and village. 📍 Getting there: Fly to Harstad/Narvik Airport (1.5 hrs from Oslo), drive 3 hrs to Henningsvær, or ferry from Bodø to Svolvær + 20-min bus (route 743). Which football team would you love to see play here? ⚽💭 📽️ @emurray077 📍Henningsvær, Norway
