Rome as local: Best Carciofi alla romana and cycling along the Tiber

I grew up in the shadow of the volcano of Etna in Sicily, crossing the entire Italian peninsula to land in the financial capital of Milan just in time to join the fledgling Italian News Service in 1989. A year later, I moved my few belongings to the Eternal City. I met my partner and raised two boys in the square mile that contains the Reuters bureau - where I am now bureau chief - my home, and the monumental gardens of Villa Borghese. I am not sure how many of the events that have unfolded in Rome over the past 35 years will make it into the history books. Certainly, the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2013, the first pontiff to do so in six centuries, will be one. Perhaps the 2022 appointment of Italy's first female prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, will be another. But for t...

Tunnels built to shelter Londoners during World War Two bombing by Germany are set to be transformed into the British capital's biggest new tourist attraction for years, according to the company that has bought the sprawling network of passages. The tunnels, which are a mile (1.6 km) long and tall enough in parts to fit a double-decker bus, lie under Holborn in central London. They were dug by hand starting in late 1940, when German planes were bombing the city almost every day and night in what was known as the Blitz. A journalist walks during a press tour around underground tunnels used during World War Two as shelters during the Blitz that are now due to be developed into a new tourist attraction called The London Tunnels in London, Britain, January 29, 2025.

Meandering in Mala Strana and sampling microbrews in Prague

I've lived in Prague all my life, so I am a true Pražák. I grew up in a 16th century house in the medieval quarter of Mala Strana, where palaces and townhouses slope down from Prague Castle toward the Vltava River. As a child, I played in the orchards and chestnut gardens of Petrin Hill, dawdled up the cobblestoned streets to my first school just under the Castle, and sipped the head off beer I fetched in a ceramic jug for my father in one of many dingy pubs in the area. I discovered a taste for public affairs and news during the watershed 1989 Velvet Revolution that ended communist rule and I was hired by Reuters as a junior reporter in 1995. I have since covered the Czech Republic's path from post-communist reforms to NATO and the EU. As chief correspondent for the Czech Republic ...
