Destination No. 01
Lake Como

Slow Travel
Destinations
Six places we know well enough to be specific about — where to sleep, where to eat late, and what to do with a morning that has nothing in it.
On Slow Travel
Fewer places, longer stays, and a willingness to be unproductive.
These are not itineraries. We do not believe in seeing four towns in three days, and we have never found anything worth knowing at the pace of a coach tour.
Each guide assumes you will stay somewhere for at least four nights, walk before breakfast, eat where the light is good, and leave one day entirely unplanned. It is, in our experience, the only reliable way to remember a place afterwards.
The Places

Amalfi Coast
Lemon groves, vertical villages and lunches that outlast the afternoon.
