Lonely Planet and Singha beer released the results of their "best bar in the world" contest. The winner is a small corner bar in the heart of Rotterdam called "De Witte Aap" (the white monkey). I am at a total loss how this bar was able to reach the top spot - I have been ...DreamTours makes your cycling adventures a reality

Delft is less than an hour by ...Cambridge, England honors fallen American soldiers
Arlington National Cemetery has no parallel, yet for some families, it's not enough. If yours is not resting in Arlington, then the national treasure takes a back seat to the bit of earth that matters more to you. As many people as Arlington serves, there are large U.S. ...Going to the UK? Check your change
If you're planning a holiday in the United Kingdom this year, check your coins. The Royal Mint at Llantrisant in Wales churned out tens of thousands of 20 pence coins with no date on them, the BBC reported. The mix up happened because on the new design for the 20p coin the ...Gadling quiz - can you guess the nationality?
Have you traveled enough to recognize 10 different nationalities? In today's quiz, you'll have to pick the right nationality for each of the photos.

Matador and the Dir Journal explore abandoned cities in the world and discover ...Blickling Hall: a living British comedy
There are two ways to experience Blickling Hall in Norfolk, England: straightforward or quirky. The former is intended, with a veritable army of committed volunteers on hand to explain every detail of the Jacobean house. Soak in the tapestry, portraits and antique furniture. ...Gadling Take FIVE: Week of June 20-June 26

Women's Rights: 1
Tradition: 0

Both ...Travel quotations and underground philosophy
Travelers on the London Underground will soon get a dose of philosophy along with their overcrowding, noise, and proximity to body odor. The Evening Standard has reported that drivers on the Piccadilly line have been issued a book of quotations from famous philosophers to ...Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers arrested in Paris airport after allegedly assaulting bar staff
If Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, the airport bar might well be the unhappiest. The drinks are watered-down and overpriced, the food is bland, and the customers and staff seem to be in a constant competition for the coveted honor of "Who Can Be More Surly."
And ...Layover: London Heathrow
Of all the airports in the world, Heathrow is probably my favorite to be stranded. The airport itself is nothing special, but thanks to some very efficient public transport, you can be in the heart of London in about 30 minutes if you find yourself on a layover. Shorter (2 ...18 unique travel experiences for the well traveled
