TOP STORIES • Here’s what you’ve been enjoying on the website this month

THE STORY OF GERMANY’S FAVOURITE FAST FOOD • CURRYWURST, A SPICY SAUSAGE DISH, IS ENJOYED AS A MIDNIGHT SNACK, TAKEAWAY LUNCH AND MORE.

BEYOND THE TRAVEL SECTION

NORTH NORFOLK • Home to seals, rare birdlife and some of Britain’s best seafood restaurants, this part of East Anglia offers a peaceful break, with a coastal landscape of sand dunes and salt marshes.

TEL AVIV • Drawing on its multicultural heritage, the Israeli coastal city has become a dynamic culinary destination, making the most of recipes and ingredients from all over the world

RIO DE JANEIRO • Few cities are as naturally spectacular as Rio. Flanked by the Atlantic and Guanabara Bay, backed by jungle-furred peaks and strung together with miles of creamy sand, this is a place of singular beauty. The beachside neighbourhoods are the obvious areas to stay: legendary Copacabana, quieter Leme and trendier Ipanema, the gateway to Rio’s western beaches. Don’t write off inland, though — over the past decade, a new, boutiquestyle hotel scene has emerged. High above the historic centre, Santa Teresa is Rio’s boho bastion. Directly below is nightlife-central Lapa. Whether on the coast or mid-city, Rio’s hotel scene gives you the best of both worlds.

THAILAND • Its palm-fringed bays and warm waters may be world-class, but there’s much more to do in Thailand...
