A UNESCO body decided against putting Venice on its list of cultural heritage sites deemed in danger after the tax was announced. But opponents of the day-tripper fee say it has done nothing to discourage tourists from visiting Venice even on high-traffic days.

Read MoreA guide to deep-dish pizza, speakeasies and the Lakefront Trail in Chicago
Chicago may be informally known as America’s “Second City” — a nod to its rebirth after the Great Fire of 1871 and a nickname kept alive by snarky New Yorkers — but to comedian Stephen Colbert, and to millions of Chicagoans who call it home, it’s simply “the greatest city in the world.” I grew up in the Chicago area and moved back to the city in 2022 shortly after graduating from college.

My off time, however, is spent enjoying everything the city has to offer, from its sandy beaches and unforgettable bars and restaurants to its towering skyline and rich cultural history. People walk and rollerblade alon...

For more than a millennium, Orthodox Christian monks have woken up in the predawn darkness to start their day with prayer at the Panagia Hozoviotissa Monastery, built high into a cliffside on the island of Amorgos. The tall, whitewashed complex is a speck about half-way up the precipitous mountain that plunges into the Aegean Sea. Except for a few small chapels scattered among the rocks, no other structure is in sight — and no light pollution to dim the swirl of stars as it increasingly does around the world. In this picture is seen the cliffside Hozoviotissa Monastery under the starry night sky.
