Atlanta sits at the southern end of the Appalachians, which puts real mountains ninety minutes away and the beach five hours.

Washington sits between the Chesapeake and the Appalachians, with more history per mile than anywhere else in the country.

The Cascades split Washington into a wet half and a dry half, and crossing them is the most useful weekend decision.

Escape the hustle and bustle of London with these top weekend getaways, including Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, and Canterbury.

New England is small enough that Boston reaches beaches, mountains and three other states inside two hours.

Lisbon's best hours for two people are early morning and late evening, and almost all of them cost nothing.

Barcelona's famous sights involve queues and timed slots, and the parts children actually enjoy mostly need neither.

Two nights in Bangkok including accommodation, food, transport and sightseeing fits inside €200 without cutting anything.
