The Four Seasons Sultanahmet is a luxurious hotel located in a historically rich district, only steps away from landmarks like the Blue Mosque. If you are looking for somewhere intimate, with exceptional views and superb service, you must consider this prestigious retreat. 

Şehzade Cağ is a local must. Known for their mouth-watering lamp meat kebabs cooked over a wood fire. This place is simple and small but for sure an Istanbul favourite. If you are hungry but want to eat on the go, don’t miss the opportunity to visit this local gem. 

There are few places we'd rather tuck into a plate of seared hand-dived scallops, slurp on some fresh ricotta tortellini and indulge in Blythburgh Pork Collar topped with the sweetest of roasted figs than at Dear Jackie. Though you may be in Soho, la dolce vita has never felt so close by! 

This luxurious resort is located among the stunning Tramuntana mountains, offering breathtaking views, a paradisiac sandy shore, refined suites and stupendous amenities. Get serenaded by the crashing of waves, the full-service spa, their exceptional Mediterranean dining options and the outdoor activities that involve everything from surfing to cycling. We heavily recommend visiting if you are looking for a secluded and serene retreat on the heavenly beaches of Mallorca. 

Although Vincent Van Gogh was not an Amsterdammer (but he sure was a Dutchie), the city’s eclectic art scene is lucky enough to host the world’s largest collection of his works. The museum displays over 200 paintings, 500 drawings and countless exchanged letters and diary entries, offering a deep dive into the artist's life and mind. It is home to the iconic collection of The Sunflowers and The Bedroom and many others that we have all heard of or seen. Dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of one of the most influential artists in history, this museum is an immersive journey into Van Gogh’s universe. 

From the family behind Café Caron comes Tannay. Equally as charming, equally as wine-focused and equally as good at rustling up some of the heartiest French classics. It comes to no surprise that this Burgundy-named resto pays homage to the flavours of the the central-eastern France. 

A Japanese-inspired listening bar, CUE may just be that missing piece to Amsterdam's already booming groove scene. I mean what is better than sipping on a cocktail under the soulful beats of vinyls. If you get peckish, Michelin-acclaimed chef is rustling up a menu as sophisticated as the sounds of the decks. 

Home cooking, Japanese style pop by the iconic 1989 spot that is AN for that fresh sushi roll. We know what we're craving. 

Wandering through galleries can build up an appetite. That's why Sakıp Sabancı Müzesi makes for the perfect day out. Get your daily dose of art and culture before stopping by its MSA's Restaurant where dishes inspired from every inch of the world are rustled up by the academy's finest. 

We don't know where to look first upon entering Bridges. The incredible interiors, the buzzing atmosphere or the chefs who are dancing around the kitchen? What's for certain is that the plates of grilled sweetbreads, kabocha squash and puntarelle and smoked eel dumplings look and smell utterly sensational.
