A quick guide to the musts of London

A quick guide to the musts of London Photo

With 600 square miles, 8 million people and too many must-see sights to see, London can be formidable. On my last visit, I was up for the challenge. I blitzed the city from the second I arrived. After landing at Heathrow, I rode the Tube to my hotel, dropped off my bag and hit the ground running.

Paris for beginners Photo

Grumpy, glorious Paris — where does a first-timer start? Well, I'm here to tell you that they mold a nice cornice, these people, and perform near-miracles with duck fat. Every block has an open-air cafe, chairs facing the street where young women in cotton dresses ride by on bikes, like beautiful little parachutes. If you enjoy such things, you'll probably love Paris.

Stockholm's island getaways Photo

For years I've flown over Stockholm's famed archipelago or glided by it on a big cruise ship heading for Helsinki. Finally, I filmed one of my TV shows here, diving into the 80 miles of scenic islands that stretch out from downtown Stockholm. Locals love to brag that there are 34,000 islands, but they must be counting mossy little rocks, so I don't use that figure. Ferries serve 100 of them, providing Stockholmers with the ideal island escape.
