The Befen Leather Crossbody Purse is made from full-grain, pebbled leather with a zippered closure, offering a soft feel and classic look. It measures 5.6 inches tall by 8.7 inches wide making it a solid compact option if you’re aiming to pack light. That said, the bag is still impressively spacious, since it can hold a smartphone comfortably (which many shoppers confirm), as well as keys, cards, and other small essentials....
As a Boston to Los Angeles transplant there is one thing I can absolutely admit to missing about New England: seasons. Specifically, fall. That’s why this new leaf-peeping package from the Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, Boston has me green with envy over the lucky peepers who get to experience it. In October, the hotel shared its latest package, Autumn in the Town and Country, which it says “celebrates the iconic New England fall season....
Despite the first day of fall still being more than a week away, the first signs of autumn have been spotted in New York, according to the state’s first Fall Foliage Report that was released last week. The weekly reports, which will be released each Wednesday afternoon, are crowdsourced from volunteer leaf peepers around the state who submit the status of the color changes in their areas. The interactive map makes it easy to look for nearby attractions to best enjoy the foliage....
While the EU battles out the terms of a bailout with Greece, and everyone awaits the results of Sunday’s summit, many travelers who are scheduled to head to the country for vacation (or who have renewed interest in visiting) are concerned that they’ll have to stage a Grexit of their own, and cancel their plans. It’s difficult to predict what next week will bring, but for now tourists and operators in Greece are saying that, on the islands at least, it’s business as usual....
When you travel as much as, say, journalist and TV producer Alex Wagner, or Travel + Leisure Editor in Chief Jacqueline Gifford, it’s easy to feel like something’s missing in life after a year of travel restrictions. And even when travel is possible, it’s just, well, not the same. “Just the human connection of going to places, seeing people, talking to them… interacting with them, that connection has been really dimmed by the protective gear that we have to wear everywhere, all the time when we’re out in the world,” Wagner noted in this segment of T+L’s The Evolution of Travel, hosted by Gifford....
Hailing a cab at the airport just got easier thanks to this new feature from Uber. With the launch of Uber Reserve, passengers will be able to request an Uber Black or Uber Black SUV in advance up to 30 days before landing, the company shared with Travel + Leisure. The new service will be available at more than 20 airports throughout the United States, including in Atlanta, Charleston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Miami, and New York....
There is a European destination for every travel palette. The honeymooners are in Positano, the art lovers are at Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the hikers are in Plitvice Lakes National Park, and the skiers are in the Dolomites. While there is a shoulder season and a high season for every European hot spot, there is honestly no bad time to go to Europe — because even in the rain, the beating sun or the bitter cold, there is a sight to be wowed by....
“When people only read the tour guides, they don’t find Zurich fun,” says chef Meta Hiltebrand. “But when you meet someone that lives here, you fall in love.” It’s a sticky summer day in Switzerland’s largest city, and I have made a beeline to Hiltebrand’s corner of the fourth district (Kreis 4). The neighborhood isn’t exactly a common inclusion on a tourist itinerary — in fact, up until ten years ago, a tourist probably wouldn’t find themself here before dark at all....
No matter what you do at the Post Ranch Inn, you’ll have a beautiful view. And that’s just one reason why Travel + Leisure readers voted this the Best California Resort Hotel in our 2018 World’s Best Awards. Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe— to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more....
Each pouch in the four-piece set is made from a durable nylon material that’s both lightweight and waterproof. The handy shoe bags also boast custom-made zippers that won’t snag or come off track (which is the last thing you want to deal with when you’re on the road). And the set comes with two standard-size bags that can hold shoes under size 10, plus two extra-large bags that can fit men’s shoes up to a size 14....
Chameleon Cold-Brew is on a mission to help you take more coffee breaks. In fact, they’ll even pay you to do so. In April, the coffee company announced its new “ultimate coffee break” contest, which will handsomely reward two caffeine lovers with $3,000 and plenty of coffee so they may take a few more little breaks throughout their work-from-home days. Burak Karademir/Getty “We wanted to remind those at home to take coffee breaks the way they’re meant to be taken – often,” Leo Aizpuru, director of brand marketing for Chameleon Organic Coffee, shared in a statement....
If you’ve ever dreamt of becoming a hotelier now’s your chance. All you have to do is write a killer essay and you’re in. The Harbor Watch Inn, located six miles off the coast on Swan Island in Maine, is looking for a new owner. However, rather than sell the inn to just anyone Dale Joyce, the current owner of the inn and descendant of the original Swan Island settlers, decided he’d rather give it to someone who feels passionate about preserving its legacy....
Los Angeles may be a destination in its own right, but one of the best parts about living in this Southern California city (or even visiting) is just how easy it is to drive a few hours and be in a completely different environment. Thanks to its proximity to beaches, mountains, a few famed national parks, and even the Mexico border, Los Angeles is a prime hub for road tripping adventures....
Everybody knows Disneyland is dry—yes, after 61 years, you still can’t order up a boozy beverage in the Anaheim park—but trust us when we say it’s all the better for it. You see, not only does Walt’s creation offer a wide range of unique frozen drinks because of it, but the alcoholic options at surrounding bars and restaurants are kicked up a notch to counterbalance it. Some of the greatest gin & tonics, tiki drinks, and beer selections can be found at California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and under-the-radar watering holes inside neighboring Disney hotels, but only if you know where to look for them....
This year’s World’s Best Awards survey closed on March 2, just before widespread stay-at-home orders were implemented as a result of COVID-19. The results reflect our readers’ experiences before the pandemic, but we hope that this year’s honorees will inspire your trips to come — whenever they may be. Here’s the thing: a ranking of Mexico’s cities should only serve as a helpful tool to prioritize, because every single town on this list is a must-visit....
With incredible architecture, renowned museums, delicious food (hello, deep dish pizza!), and the impressive Lake Michigan, Chicago offers a perfect American city break. But before you plan your getaway or book a stay at one of the city’s fabulous hotels, you’ll need to book your flights. There are two major Chicago airports — O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport. O’Hare is one of the busiest airports in the country, with dozens of airlines flying to and from its four terminals....
It’s rare that a shoe can seamlessly transition from work to workout without feeling like it’s far better suited for one over the other. Cole Haan’s fresh drop, the Zerogrand All-day Trainer, however, is quite the contender. Some of the brand’s classic styles — like the Tali Bow Ballet Flat and the Zerogrand Oxford — are already beloved by travelers for their comfort and versatility. These are shoes you can wear for a business meeting or a casual day of gallery hopping, but the new sneaker takes the brand a step further (puns always intended) into fitness footwear territory....
Runways were closed, flights canceled, and travel severely disrupted after more than two dozen inches of snow fell over Denver and the surrounding Rockies on Sunday. Denver’s International Airport was forced to close all of its runways and spent the overnight hours digging out from a whopping 27.1 inches of snow. Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images “Snow has stopped and crews are working hard to clear runways,” the airport tweeted on Monday morning....

Reader wisdom is an invaluable resource both for us here at T+L, and for you, so you can get not only our take on a new destination but theirs as well.

In a country as big as the U.S., domestic air travel often holds the allure of a complicated board game: When you master it, you’re filled with a stirring sense of accomplishment. When you don’t, it can feel like the whole game is rigged against you. But things are looking up. Earlier this summer, Frontier Airlines announced a major expansion to its network — 21 new cities, to be exact. The change was brought on by Frontier’s desire to “serve even more of America” and “make flying a truly affordable option....
