I've only been to Venice, but would definitely recommend it. I didn't do much in particular there, just wandered the streets, looking around - and it was a lovely way to spend a few days. I understand that Venice is best avoided in high summer because of the smell, but I went in late May and it was ...

Posh inter-railing around Europe in 2007, which involved first-class cabins and nice hotels. I feel a bit too old for busy hostels and sleeping in stations these days, I need a bit of luxury. We visited 10 countries in 22 days, with highlights being Berlin (a fabulous city, I felt instantly at home)...

1. Pakistan
2. Zimbabwe
3. Saudi Arabia, but I am wondering if I might end up caving in on this one in order to stick another pin in my Facebook travel map.

Food, culture (I like to visit museums and galleries), architecture, a different climate, public transport... I also get insanely excited by sexy hotel rooms and high-quality complimentary toiletries. And Richard Quest on CNN.

Asha's at Wafi is a brilliant Indian - the prawny dish with cheesy stuff is nomnomnom. I'd recommend China Club for Chinese, it has a really extensive menu of lovely, lovely things. For International I'd recommend Teatro for atmosphere and The Cellar for being able to order everything on the menu fo...

I went to Muscat last weekend and found the search for a decent hotel at a good price nightmarish - in fact, I totally failed and so ended up staying with a friend. He then recommended a hotel local to him - Quram Beach, I *think* - for the budget traveller. It's pretty basic, but clean and comforta...

I can help if you elaborate on your priorities, budget and time you can spend? If not, initial responses below: Beach - Sri Lanka's good for lazing around on a beautiful beach. City culture - many places in Europe. I could also make some Mexico recommendations. Wildlife - Madagascar (where I went fo...

What is your passport? Our UK passports allowed us to easily get tourist visas upon arrival at Dubai airport. Not sure that every nationality has such a smooth entry though.

Bah, your strict criteria rules out a memorable leap on to a Guatemalan riverbank while I nervously eyed around for crocodiles, as well as single nights spent in Finland and Latvia drinking the local poisons. Oh, and Belgium. So, otherwise, my grand total is 20, which sounds ridiculously low when I...

I had a long weekend in Bahrain last month and really liked it. Managed to see pretty much anything of interest in 3 days, so wouldn't want to live there, but enjoyed my stay immensely.

Jordan

I'm hoping to go there for a long weekend next month but am wondering if I'll manage to get much seen in the time I have, or if I should 'save' the destination for when I have a bit more time. I'd have to fly out on a Friday morning and return on the Monday (late morning). A loose itinerary would in...
