LONDON (6 April 2023) — The May issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) is out now. The cover story this month takes a fresh look at the classic destinations of Italy, a country that offers enough for a lifetime of discoveries. From a coastal road trip through Calabria to street art tours in Turin and dining in the shadow of Mount Etna, we look at 21 experiences that cast the peninsula in a different light.
This issue also comes with a free Ecuador guide. Inside, we discover the country’s striking wildlife and landscapes, try the dishes leading its culinary renaissance and meet its creative, resilient communities.
From April, you can find all these features, plus pieces from Food by National Geographic Traveller and original digital content, online at nationalgeographic.com/travel.
