Getting away from it all doesn’t have to mean hitting the beach, this week we’re exploring breaks that are more cultural than coastal with historic sites to discover and great cuisines to try. Head to the rolling hills of Umbria or Provence, enjoy a camel trek through the Sahara desert or go tiger spotting in northern India. Wherever you choose, these inland getaways are filled with memorable moments.
