CULTURE FIX • A host of eclectic new museums have opened their doors across the world this year, from a celebration of Norwegian art to a study of queer British history

A TASTE OF Jamaica • CENTURIES OF INFLUENCES ARE AT PL AY IN A CUISINE RICH IN MEAT DISHES AND FISH IN ALL FORMS

LISBON • Go on a bar crawl in the city’s Bairro Alto, where local haunts are set in everything from a former gothic chapel to an ex-brothel

WHERE TO STAY Sofia • BULGARIA’S STORIED CAPITAL HAS A WEALTH OF AFFORDABLE LUXURY HOTELS

Magic moments • FOR ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR, DISNEYLAND PARIS IS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS

BUSAN • SOUTH KOREA’S SECOND CITY IS NOW FIRMLY ON THE TRAVEL MAP, THANKS TO ITS GOLDEN BEACHES, GREAT CUISINE AND CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS

LICHFIELD • History is writ large across the Staffordshire city, with medieval treasures and intriguing museums to discover

Wild autumn escapes • GOLDEN DAYS, FORAGING FARE AND THAT COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS FEELING: THERE’S NO TIME LIKE AUTUMN TO BE INSPIRED TO PLAN WILD, OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

TOP STORIES

AN INSIDE GUIDE TO COCKNEY LONDON • London’s cockney scene has a long history and an interesting future, thanks to a new museum — and proud custodians looking to safeguard its reputation.

BEYOND THE TRAVEL SECTION

HOW TO VISIT THE UK’S BEACHES RESPONSIBLY • THERE’S PLENTY YOU CAN DO TO HELP THE COASTLINE RECOVER AFTER A SUMMER OF HIGH VISITOR NUMBERS.

UTRECHT • This year, as the bike-friendly Dutch city celebrates its 900th anniversary in style, explore its canal-side bars, farm-to-table restaurants and historical sites, some dating back to the Roman Empire.

SLOVENIA • From Maribor in the east to the chocolate-loving town of Radovljica in the west, a trip across northern Slovenia reveals a bucolic landscape, hearty, traditional dishes and world-class sweet wine
