Vilnius, Lithuania, was the last of my Baltic capitals and my favorite: small, friendly, interesting. Does that sound boring? It wasn’t. Vilnius is an excellent choice for a long weekend — three days is just about right. These are not the only things I did in Vilnius, but they were....
One of the best things about the City of Light is how easy it is to make international day trips from Paris by train. That’s definitely not something I grew up with: You can make an international trip from New York City by train — but only if you want....
Crepes are basically synonymous with France, but not, in fact, with Paris: They’re famously a product of the Bretagne (Brittany) region, several hundred miles west. In fact, historically there’s been a cluster of top crepe places near the Gare Montparnasse — because that’s the train station that serves Brittany. The....
The news is basically all good in terms of the best day trips from Paris by train: There’s a wealth of attractions within Ile-de-France, the administrative region that includes Paris and its suburbs — nearly all of these are accessible via the RER or Transilien commuter trains. (And it’s even....
I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money on the best luxury hotels in Paris to have a good time there: The most intoxicating thing about Paris is acting as Parisians do — which is to say, generally enjoying life in a superior way, rather than going....

These are the best art museums in Paris. (Not including the Pompidou, the Jacquemart-André, and all the others.) What’s great about them: They’re remarkably close together, making for a walking tour that will offer, without a doubt, the greatest day’s worth of art history in one tidy package. Of course,....
Wondering which Paris airport is better? After six years there — flying in and out quite a lot — I have extremely strong feelings on the subject. Short answer: Orly. But let’s dig into this a bit.

Wondering where to stay in Paris with kids? My favorite thing is telling people where to go (on vacation). This is the first in the series: a mom is coming to Paris, family in tow. If you have a vacation dilemma, please email! I’m headed to Paris but don’t know....
Wondering what to do in Le Marais, Paris? I love the neighborhood so much that I got an apartment there. We have everything — restaurants, bars, cafés, markets, the best shopping in the city — all in one very manageable, human-sized package. (Read: gorgeous old limestone buildings.) This itinerary is....
