Hello hello, As we wave goodbye to January, I'm packing my bags for a mountain escape. It's been a while, though, and so by the time I hauled my kit down from the loft, things had changed. The strap for my goggles has disintegrated into fine black dust. One glove has gone missing. And the less said about the mysterious shrinking of the waistbands the better. All of which is just to remind you that things change. So. When was the last time you took a look around the online Bradt shop? We have new titles in the works, like this Slow Travel guide to Scotland's North Highlands and this 5th edition of our guide to Malta. And, of course, the old favourites (sorry, timeless classics) like Albania and Madagascar. And prepare for the year ahead with this guide to solar eclipses. Until next week, Abi Have you read our guide to the best places to travel in 2025? | Ad Friuli Venezia Giulia In 2025, the spotlight shines on Friuli Venezia Giulia as Nova Gorica and Gorizia take centre stage as the joint European Capital of Culture. Nestled in Italyβs northeastern corner, Friuli Venezia Giulia may not be a household name β yet β but get ready for that to change. Close to Venice yet distinct in character, it also borders Austria and Slovenia, offering a mix of Italian charm and European influences. From the grand architecture of Trieste to UNESCO treasures like Aquileia, Palmanova, PalΓΉ di Livenza and Cividale del Friuli, the region is rich in history and artistry. The dramatic Dolomites with their jagged lavender peaks add another UNESCO site to the list, this time letting nature take centre stage. In short, Friuli Venezia Giulia invites you to discover a side of Italy youβve never seen before. For all its natural beauty and delicious food and wines, FVG is a place that promises a great journey.
