<p><strong>Chef Anton Mosimann </strong>shares with TRAVELIFE Magazine his&nbsp;<strong>recommendations on where to go in London </strong>and what he does when he&#8217;s not cooking in the kitchen.</p>



<p>Swiss-born Anton Mosimann has lived in London for&nbsp;over 40 years, receiving the <strong>Order of the British Empire&nbsp;(OBE)</strong> along the way. His passion for food and his zest for&nbsp;life continues to fuel his creativity, evident in his culinary&nbsp;masterpieces.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">COOKING FOR ROYALTY</h3>



<p>He has cooked for Queen Elizabeth II herself, and&nbsp;her family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. His <strong><a href="http://mosimann.com/">Mosimann’s Club</a> </strong>remains one of London’s most&nbsp;prestigious dining establishments.</p>



<p>Last year, the<a href="http://mosimanncollection.ch/"> <strong>Mosimann Collection</strong></a> was&nbsp;launched at the <strong>César Ritz Colleges in Le Bouveret</strong>, Switzerland.&nbsp;<strong>Chef Anton’s private collection</strong> is composed of thousands of&nbsp;interesting culinary curio such as <strong>rare cookbooks</strong>, <strong>unusual kitchen&nbsp;utensils</strong>, r<strong>oyal menu cards</strong> and works of art. The collection&nbsp;also chronicles his life and serves as a valuable resource and an&nbsp;inspiration to the many students of the <a href="http://swisseducation.com/"><strong>Swiss Education Group</strong></a>.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">WHERE TO EAT IN LONDON</h3>



<p>Read his <strong>top recommendations for London&#8217;s hot spots.</strong></p>



<p><strong>My LAST BEST MEAL</strong> in London&nbsp;was chicken feet at <a href="http://plumvalleyrestaurant.co.uk/"><strong>Plum Valley</strong></a>. It’s a Chinese&nbsp;restaurant where they serve two kinds of&nbsp;<strong>chicken feet</strong>. One is Thai style, off the&nbsp;bone, and I love it. The other one is in a&nbsp;black bean sauce. I prefer the Thai style&nbsp;because it’s a bit spicy. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p>



<p><strong>MY FAVORITE MARKETS</strong> for grocery&nbsp;shopping are <strong>Borough Market</strong> and<br>the <strong>Pimlico Road Farmers’ Market</strong>,&nbsp;which is in my neighborhood. &nbsp; I usually take my wife on <strong>A ROMANTIC&nbsp;DATE</strong> at the <a href="http://theritzlondon.com/">Ritz Hotel</a>. </p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="378" height="640" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Untitled2-2.png" alt="Ritz Hotel, Picadilly

<p></p>



<p><strong>My LATEST FOOD DISCOVERY</strong> in&nbsp;London is <strong>Vietnamese street food<br>on Wardour Street</strong>. I love Vietnamese&nbsp;street food. &nbsp; </p>



<p>The <strong>MOST PICTURESQUE SPOT</strong> in all&nbsp;of London is <a href="http://royal.uk/"><strong>Buckingham Palace</strong></a>. It’s still exciting, even though I’ve been&nbsp;there many times. &nbsp; <strong>I FIND INSPIRATION FOR MY&nbsp;CULINARY CREATIONS</strong> in Soho where&nbsp;there are some very exciting international&nbsp;food, mainly Oriental cuisine. The&nbsp;<strong>Chinese Market in Soho </strong>also sells things&nbsp;you don’t find anywhere else. </p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" width="400" height="294" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Untitled4-2-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-40548" srcset="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Untitled4-2-1.png 400w, https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Untitled4-2-1-300x221.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /><figcaption><em>Pecorino Favoloso, Borough Market, London</em><br><em>Photo courtesy of VisitBritain</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">RELAXING IN LONDON</h3>



<p>After<strong>&nbsp;a long day, I LIKETO UNWIND AND RECHARGE</strong> by&nbsp;going running in <strong>Hyde Park</strong>. And then&nbsp;there will be a glass of <strong>Mosimann&nbsp;champagne</strong> at home. &nbsp; <strong>A LOVELY DAY IN LONDON</strong> should&nbsp;be spent going to the wonderful <strong>art galleries and food market on Cork Street</strong>. Very often I&nbsp;get a coffee for my wife there on a Saturday&nbsp;morning – she loves caramel macchiato. &nbsp; </p>



<p>The <strong>BEST PLACES FOR A CERTIFIED&nbsp;FOODIE</strong> to explore are the fantastic<br>markets. <strong>Food halls in London</strong> like <strong><a href="http://harrods.com/">Harrods</a> </strong>are exciting, even to just to look around and smell. <strong><a href="http://selfridges.com/">Selfridges</a> </strong>and <a href="http://harveynichols.com/"><strong>Harvey Nichols</strong></a> are good, too. &nbsp; </p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="278" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Untitled5-2.png" alt="Buckingham palace gardens

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>I NEVER GET TIRED OF</strong> going to&nbsp;musicals. I’m a great fan. I’ve seen “Cats” and “Mama Mia” a few times. I&nbsp;also recently saw the <strong>Cirque du Soleil at the <a href="http://royalalberthall.com/">Royal Albert Hall</a></strong> and I loved it. &nbsp; </p>



<p><strong>TRAVELERS SHOULD VISIT&nbsp;</strong>the wonderful <strong><a href="http://coventgarden.london/">Covent Garden</a> </strong>and do the pop tours. There are a lot&nbsp;of museums and so&nbsp;many things to see. But&nbsp;I don’t recommend&nbsp;doing everything in one&nbsp;day. Take your time,&nbsp;and come back again&nbsp;if necessary. Enjoy the&nbsp;experience and don’t&nbsp;rush it. </p>

<p>A South African tourism executive shares her favourite places in South Africa&#8217;s biggest city.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignnone"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/where-to-go-johannesburg-south-africa/"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Untitled7.png" alt="What to do with 36 hours in Johannesburg"/></a><figcaption>Maropeng, Johannesburg</figcaption></figure>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>THE BEST WAY TO EXPLORE JOBURG</strong> is <strong>by hop-on, hop-off bus</strong>. Buy a ticket for the day so that you can use it as many times as you want. You can hop off and spend as much time at an attraction then hop on again when the bus is scheduled to come around. This gives you the opportunity to decide which landmarks you want to explore at your own pace.</p>



<p><strong>THE BEST WAY TO START A DAY</strong> is “from the top.” <strong>Joburg is the brunch capital of the world</strong> and it has <strong>rooftop restaurants and hotels that offer brunch</strong>. And because it’s a flat and big industrial city, you can<strong> see the whole of Johannesburg over breakfast</strong>. It’s so beautiful. You won’t believe you’re in such a big city that’s just so green and peaceful.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignnone"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/where-to-go-johannesburg-south-africa/"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Untitled2.png" alt="What to do with 36 hours in Johannesburg"/></a><figcaption>Sandton Sun San Deck, Johannesburg</figcaption></figure>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>ANOTHER GOOD SPOT TO ADMIRE THE JOBURG SKYLINE</strong> is from the decks of <a href="http://tsogosun.com/sandton-sun-hotel"><strong>Sandton Sun</strong></a>.</p>



<p><strong>ONE LOCAL ACTIVITY I NEVER MISS</strong> is the <strong>bungee jump in Joburg</strong>. It’s only 100 meters but it’s in the middle of the city. You jump off a water tower. After I did it the first time, I had such an adrenaline high. I got a sense of empowerment, I said to myself, “I made such a good decision.” That’s the kind of city Joburg is – it’s got so much color and vibrancy. It’s loud and has <strong>a very continental Africa feel</strong> to it. It’s very “in your face.”</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">TRENDY JOHANNESBURG</h3>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>THE MOST UNUSUAL PLACE TO SEE</strong> is <strong><a href="http://mabonengprecinct.com/">Maboneng</a></strong> which they call “The Inner City Revival Project.” They’ve revived this area after all the big businesses moved out. Entrepreneurs and young designers are given access to markets here. Even if you’ve only got four or five clothing items, you can put these on a rail that has your name.</p>



<p><strong>Maboneng has everything from clothes, shoes, and handbags to furniture and household items</strong>. There are also <strong>restaurants and food stalls</strong> as well. </p>



<p>It’s <strong>the greatest place to shop in Johannesburg </strong>because of all these unique things nobody else has. It has a cool temperament because the interior design is interesting, and there’s good food and music spilling out.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignnone"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/where-to-go-johannesburg-south-africa/"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Untitled.png" alt="What to do with 36 hours in Johannesburg"/></a><figcaption>The SOWETO Towers, Johannesburg</figcaption></figure>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>TOURISTS SHOULD ALSO NOT MISS</strong> little-known <strong><a href="http://liliesleaf.co.za/">Liliesleaf Farm</a></strong> in northern Johannesburg for a bit of history and mystery. The farm was secretly used by African National Congress activists in the 1960s. It’s where many prominent African National Congress leaders were arrested. Today it&#8217;s <strong>a UNESCO World Heritage Site</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT OUT</strong>, go to <strong><a href="http://tsogosun.com/montecasino">Teatro</a></strong> where <strong>international performances </strong>are showcased in its massive theaters. Or to the <strong><a href="http://tsogosun.com/back-o-the-moon">Back O’ the Moon</a></strong> in the Gold Reef City. This is<strong> one of the best jazz clubs</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>AFTER A LONG DAY, I LIKE TO UNWIND AT</strong> the<strong><a href="http://fourseasons.com/johannesburg"> Four Seasons in Westcliff </a></strong>which is up on the hill in Joburg. When you sit at the Four Seasons, you actually <strong>look over the Joburg Zoo</strong>.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CULTURE CLUB</h3>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/where-to-go-johannesburg-south-africa/"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Untitled3.png" alt="What to do with 36 hours in Johannesburg" width="367" height="480"/></a><figcaption>CIRCA, Johannesburg Photo by&nbsp;Tristen McLaren</figcaption></figure></div>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>I LIKE LISTENING TO LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES</strong> at <strong><a href="http://mhub.co.za/tanzcafe">Tanz Café</a></strong>. It has an electric atmosphere every night. Its gig guide features the <strong>South Africa&#8217;s best musical talent</strong>. This venue has hosted artists such as <strong>Jesse Clegg</strong>, <strong>Arno Carstens</strong>, and <strong>Civil Twilight</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>AFTER TOURING THE TRADITIONAL ART MUSEUMS, I TELL MY FRIENDS TO GO TO</strong> the <strong>Johannesburg Art Gallery</strong> in <strong>Joubert Park</strong>. It is the<strong> largest gallery on the subcontinent </strong>with a collection larger than that of the Iziko <strong>South African National Art Gallery</strong> in Cape Town.</p>



<p>I <strong>book an early morning meditative session </strong>in the garden of <strong><a href="http://satyagrahahouse.com/">Satyagraha House</a></strong> in Orchards <strong>TO CONNECT WITH MY INNER SELF</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>The MOST STRIKING ARCHITECTURE IN JOBURG IS <a href="http://circagallery.co.za/">CIRCA</a></strong> on <strong>Jellicoe</strong> in <strong>Rosebank</strong>, a gallery renowned for featuring the works of<strong> top South African artists</strong> like <strong>Dylan Lewis</strong> and <strong>Zwelethu Mthethwa</strong>.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">INSIDER INFORMATION</h3>



<p><strong>MY SECRET SPOT FOR A PICNIC IN JOBURG</strong>  is across the road from the <strong>Johannesburg Zoo</strong>. It&#8217;s right next to the lake, on one of the massive lawns. It’s really quiet, but since you’ve got the zoo literally in front of you. You can hear the animals from a distance. On weekends, <strong>amateur artists</strong>, <strong>sculptors</strong>, and <strong>painters</strong> display and sell their works there.</p>



<p>The <strong><a href="http://jhbcityparks.com/">Johannesburg Botanical Gardens</a></strong> is also an inspiring mix of open spaces. It includes <strong>marshlands</strong>, <strong>grasslands</strong>, <strong>trees</strong>, and <strong>cultivated gardens</strong>. It’s the <strong>world’s biggest man-made forest</strong>, with over 10 million trees.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><strong>MY FAVORITE BOUTIQUE HOTEL </strong>is <strong><a href="http://tenbompas.com/">10 Bompas Hotel</a></strong>, because all the rooms look different and special. Even their menu changes daily as they only serve what’s in season.</p></blockquote>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">WHERE TO GO OUTSIDE JOHANNESBURG</h3>



<p><br><strong><a href="http://maropeng.co.za/">Maropeng</a></strong> is <strong>the site of the Cradle of Humankind</strong>. This is where you’ll discover the bones of our ancestors. It&#8217;s the place where we all come from. If you want <strong>an anthropological adventure</strong>, you can actually go to the caves themselves. It’s still <strong>an active dig,</strong> so visitors put on hard hats and everything to go further.</p>



<p>At the<strong> Maropeng Visitor’s Center</strong>, there are <strong>interactive exhibits</strong> and <strong>programs for kids</strong> that show the animals that lived in each particular period. They’ve taken <strong>paleoanthropoligism</strong> and made it into a science. It’s such a special way of explaining where we come from. Kids will also learn how much damage we’ve done to the earth and how we need to be careful and change the way we do certain things. They’ve taken<br>science and made it human.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">WHAT TO EAT IN JOBURG</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/where-to-go-johannesburg-south-africa/"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Untitled5.png" alt="What to eat in Johannesburg" width="326" height="480"/></a><figcaption>Malva Pudding, Johannesburg</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>One must indulge in <strong>boerewors</strong>. This is <strong>a traditional South African sausage</strong> made from beef mixed with either pork or lamb and a<br>mixture of spices. Also, <strong>traditional Joburg street food</strong> is a must try. It’s healthy, fresh, and yummy.</p>



<p>For a traditional meal, don’t miss going to an African restaurant like <strong><a href="http://moyo.co.za/">Moyo</a></strong>. Or you can try <strong>a traditional Soweto township restaurant</strong>. Or, better yet, get yourself invited to a <strong>braai</strong> (barbecue).</p>



<p><strong>WHAT’S THE BEST SOUVENIR A&nbsp;VISITOR MUST BRING HOME FROM SOUTH AFRICA?</strong></p>



<p>Sidewalk art made from recycled items. You can get these at the <strong><a href="http://artistsunderthesun.co.za/">Art Market</a></strong> in <strong>Zoo Lake</strong>, full of stunning <strong>local artifacts</strong> and <strong>craft work</strong>.</p>

<p>These days, he focuses on the stunning <strong>landscapes and cityscapes of Solothurn</strong> and the nearby <strong>Jura Mountains </strong>and the <strong>Alpine landscapes</strong> to satisfy his yen for <strong>travel photography.</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>PHOTOS OF SOLOTHURN</strong></h2>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong><br>THE ENTIRE HISTORICAL CENTER OF SOLOTHURN IS PICTURESQUE</strong>, but I personally love <strong>Solothurn&#8217;s beautiful churches</strong>. The<strong> Roman Catholic St. Ursus Cathedral </strong>is the landmark of Solothurn. </p>



<p>Meanwhile, the <strong>MOST ICONIC BAROQUE STRUCTURE</strong> is definitely the <strong>Church of the Jesuits. </strong>It has impressive <strong>Italian-style stucco work</strong>&nbsp;and it&#8217;s been described as <strong>one of Switzerland’s nicest baroque buildings</strong>. This is <strong>real Italian grandeur</strong>.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p><strong><br></strong><strong>WHEN I WANT TO IMMERSE MYSELF IN NATURE</strong> I head to the nearby <strong>Jura Mountains</strong>. There is a <strong>gondola lift up to the <a href="http://seilbahn-weissenstein.ch/">Weissenstein</a></strong>, a <strong>former health resort </strong>1,284 meters above sea level. From Weissenstein there are many<strong> trekking tours through the Jura of canton Solothurn </strong>and to the <strong>Röti</strong> or the <strong>Hasenmatt.</strong>&nbsp;These are the two peaks with overwhelming <strong>panoramic views of the Alps</strong>. These <strong>peaks are best seen in autumn</strong>, by the way.</p>



<p><strong>TO FULLY EXPERIENCE THE LAKES AROUND SOLOTHURN</strong>, take a <a href="http://bielersee.ch/">boat</a> from Solothurn to the <strong>Lake of Biel </strong>and further to <strong>Lake Neuchâtel</strong> and <strong>Lake Morat</strong>. The boats stop in all major places, each one worth a visit.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p><strong>FOR A PANORAMIC VIEW OF SOLOTHURN</strong>, go up <strong>the tower of the St. Ursus Cathedral</strong> with your camera. It takes a while to climb the steep and narrow stairs, but the breathtaking view of the historical town. </p>



<p>You will see the <strong>Jura Mountains</strong> and, if you are a little bit lucky, the <strong>whole panorama of the Swiss Alps</strong>. The best time to shoot outstanding photos from up there is in the morning or early afternoon.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The <strong>BEST PLACE TO HAVE A NICE MEAL </strong>at the <strong><a href="http://kreuz-solothurn.ch/">Kreuz</a> </strong>restaurant down by the river, offering many<strong> vegetarian dishes</strong>. Since 1973, this<strong> restaurant and guesthouse </strong>has been managed as an experimental cooperative. At the table for regulars, you might meet some<strong>&nbsp;of Switzerland’s most famous poets and writers</strong>.</p>



<p>For <strong>A ROMANTIC DINNER, HEAD TO</strong> the <strong><a href="http://roterturm.ch/">Roter Turm</a>&nbsp;</strong>located at <strong>Solothurn’s market place</strong>. The restaurant has a rooftop terrace with a <strong>breathtaking view of the nested roofs of Solothurn</strong>. It is also one of our top gourmet places with 14 points in <strong>the Gault-Millau</strong>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p><strong>BEST PLACE TO EAT SOLOTHURN TORTE?&nbsp;</strong>Three pastry shops offer this local specialty: <strong><a href="http://suteria.ch/">Suteria</a></strong>, <a href="http://kaffeehalle.ch/"><strong>Kafeehalle</strong></a> and <strong><a href="http://confiseriehofer.ch/">Confiserie Hofer</a></strong>. Everyone has a different answer as to where to get the best one, so you have to find out by yourself. Of course the<strong> Solothurn torte </strong>should be enjoyed with good coffee.</p>



<p>Speaking of <strong>coffee in Solothurn</strong>, I like to sit at one of the many <strong>sidewalk cafés at the Marktplatz</strong> such as the restaurant of <strong><a href="http://wirthen.ch/">Hotel Wirthen </a></strong>or down at the <strong>Landhausquai at the river Aare</strong>, like <strong><a href="http://gassbar.ch/">Gassbar</a></strong>, and just watch what is going on around me.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>FOR A TASTE OF THE “GREEN FAIRY,” HEAD TO</strong> the <strong><a href="http://diegruenefee.ch/">Grüne Fee</a></strong>, <strong>Switzerland’s first legal absinthe bar. </strong>It&#8217;s&nbsp;a very cozy place to hang out. Until a few years ago,<strong> absinthe</strong>, which was produced for ages in <strong>the French-speaking region of Swiss Jura</strong>, was<strong> banned in most European countries.</strong>&nbsp;But it survived “underground” for over a century.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://www.travelifemagazine.com"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="492" src="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-1.png" alt="Photos of Solothurn by Ernst Christen" class="wp-image-26122" srcset="https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-1.png 640w, https://www.travelifemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/2-1-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><figcaption>Switzerland’s first legal Absinthe Bar, Die Grüne Fee<br>Photo by Ernst Christen</figcaption></figure></div>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>To best <strong>ENJOY AN EVENING IN SOLOTHURN</strong>, I suggest a stroll along <strong>the river at the Aarequai</strong> or the <strong>Landhausquai</strong>. Locals enjoy the cozy <strong><a href="http://solheure.ch/">Solheure</a></strong>&nbsp;with a lounge bar directly facing the riverbanks. For a more elegant ambiance, head to the rooftop bar of the <strong><a href="http://ramada.com/">Ramada Hotel</a> </strong>for a stunning view <strong>over the river Aare and Solothurn’s old town</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>FOR A NICE WALK</strong>, go out of the city to the <strong><a href="http://www.einsiedelei.ch/">St. Verena Gorge Hermitage</a></strong>&nbsp;in the middle of a beautiful forest. The <strong>legend of St. Verena</strong>, the <strong>first hermit</strong> there, goes back to the 4th century. You can still see one of the two <strong>chapels built in the 12th century</strong>.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>MY FAVORITE WAY TO EXPLORE SOLOTHURN </strong>is by foot and bicycle. A <strong>bike ride along the river Aare</strong> is a beautiful nature experience. Meanwhile, the small village <strong>Altreu</strong>&nbsp;has <strong>Switzerland’s biggest population of the <a href="http://infowiti.ch/">white storks</a></strong>. I also like going along the Aare river, where there are beautiful walkways and some<strong> pedestrian bridges</strong> to cross to the other side.</p>



<p>The <strong>BEST WAY TO LEARN MORE LOCAL HISTORY</strong> is via a <strong>guided city tour in the historical center of Solothurn</strong>. The <a href="http://solothurn-city.ch/">local tourist office</a> offers many different tours. Travelers can also borrow an iPad and go on exciting discovery tours through the historical and <strong>cultural heritage of Solothurn </strong>by themselves.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>A WEEK-LONG PARTY IN SOLOTHURN&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The <strong><a href="http://fasnachtsolothurn.ch/">Fasnacht</a></strong> in Solothurn is one of <strong>Switzerland’s oldest and most unique carnival traditions</strong>. For one week, usually in February, the whole city is transformed into a madhouse and parties are on 24/7.</p>



<p>The carnival starts early morning on<strong> Fat Thursday</strong> with a tradition called <strong>“Chesslete.” </strong>Hundreds of people dressed in white nightshirts and white caps gather on the <strong>Friedhofplatz</strong>. At exactly 5 AM, they start to make a hellish noise with <strong>cow bells</strong> and huge ratchets to chase away the winter. From then on, the city is in the hands of the<strong> carnival of fools </strong>until <strong>Ash Wednesday</strong>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p><strong><br>WHEN I WANT TO LISTEN TO A LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCE</strong>, I go to <strong><a href="http://kofmehl.net/">Kulturfabrik Kofmehl</a></strong>. International artists like <strong>Uriah Heep</strong>, <strong>Candy Dulfer</strong>, and <strong>Manfred Mann’s Earth Band</strong> sometimes play here. </p>



<p>Several times a year, <strong><a href="http://jazzimchutz.ch/">Chutz</a> restaurant </strong>organizes <strong>Jazz Matinees</strong> on Sunday mornings. I also visit a classical concert either in <strong>Solothurn’s city theatre</strong>, <strong>Switzerland’s oldest theatre</strong>, or the <a href="http://tobs.ch/">big concert hall</a>.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<p><strong><br></strong><strong>I USUALLY TAKE FIRST-TIME VISITORS TO SEE THE ALPS</strong> from<strong> the peak Hasenmatt </strong>in <strong>the Jura Mountains</strong>, which is 1,444 meters above sea level. It’s the <strong>highest spot in the canton of Solothurn</strong>. The peak is only accessible by trekking and the view is simply stunning. The <strong>best chance to see the full Alps panorama</strong> is from September to November.</p>



<p>Visit the <strong><a href="http://kunstmuseum-so.ch/">Solothurn Arts Museum</a>&nbsp;FOR AN AFTERNOON OF ART</strong>. They have one of the <strong>biggest and most precious collections in Switzerland</strong>, and this collection contains the works of artists such as <strong>Paul Cézanne</strong>, <strong>Vincent van Gogh</strong>, and <strong>Pablo Picasso</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>MY FAVORITE PIECE</strong> is<strong> “The Madmen Warder of Saint-Rémy”</strong> by <strong>Vincent van Gogh</strong>. Each winter the local publisher <strong>Rothus</strong> organizes <strong>Switzerland’s one and only <a href="http://kunstsupermarkt.ch/">Art-Supermarket</a>&nbsp;</strong>where <strong>HIGH QUALITY CONTEMPORARY ART IS SOLD </strong>at affordable prices.</p>

<p>The <b>MOST PICTURESQUE SPOT</b> in all of Albania is the south of Albania, specifically <b>Butrint</b>, where you can see <b>Albania’s history during Roman times</b>. One of the highlights here is <a href="http://visitsaranda.com/">Saranda</a>. The cities of <b>Gjirokastra</b> and <b>Berat</b>, UNESCO cities built on stone, are also very beautiful. In the north, <b>the alps of Albania</b> are a lovely combination of mountains, hills, green valleys, and people who live a very relaxed life.</p>
<p><b>FIRST-TIME VISITORS MUST START</b> by heading to the south to <b>Tirana</b> for a five-day trip or do a three-day trip in the north which is extremely beautiful. You can go to <b>Valbona River and Valbona Valley</b>, where there are trees and mountains 2,000 meters high, and then visit the <b>Shkodër City</b> on the way back.</p>

</b><br />
<b>ONE THING YOU MUST DO</b> in Albania is to <b>walk around and meet the locals</b>. You’ll be grabbed by the hand by people who don’t speak your language and they’ll say, “Come taste my cookie!” or “Where are you from?” This is very unusual. <b>Locals like to see how you live</b>, and they enjoy <b>learning something new</b> and finding out what motivated you to <b>visit Albania</b>. I find this attitude very special.</p>
<p><b>VISITORS MUST PARTICIPATE</b> in a <b>local wedding in Albania</b>. Weddings are very <b>big festivities where people dance a lot </b>and it’s not unusual for locals <b>to invite foreign visitors</b> they meet to come along and enjoy. Even if you are only <b>in Albania for a day</b> or two, after participating in a local wedding, you will feel like you’ve known Albanians for years.</p>

<p><b>WHERE SHOULD WE GO FOR A MEMORABLE MEAL IN DUBLIN?</b><br />
The <b><a href="http://irishhouseparty.com/">Irish House Party</a></b> runs dinners with a backdrop of traditional Irish dancing. Elsewhere, I love <b><a href="http://kchidomexico.com/">K Chido Mexico </a></b>for tacos. You’ll find the blue and pink Citroen HY food truck hidden away in a warehouse on Chancery Street.</p>
<p><b>THE MOST ROMANTIC PLACE IN DUBLIN</b> is the last resting place of St. Valentine. You’ll find the saint’s relics in Whitefriar Street Church on <b><a href="http://carmelites.ie/">AungierStreet</a></b>.</p>
<p><b>THE BEST PLACE TO BREAK-UP WITH A LOVER</b> is at the <b>Iveagh Gardens</b>, a leafy and lovingly landscaped oasis near Stephen’s Green. Things could go quiet or loud here without drawing a crowd of rubber-neckers. Taxi!</p>
<p><b>TO GET THE MOST OUT OF DUBLIN</b>, you should take a walking tour.<a href="http://fabfoodtrails.ie/"> <b>Fabulous Food Trails</b></a>, <b><a href="http://hiddendublinwalks.com/">Hidden Dublin Walks &amp;Tours</a></b>, or historian and author <b><a href="http://walkingtours.ie/">Pat Liddy</a></b> offer various themed trails. The <b>best way to explore Dublin</b> is on foot. No question.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><b>BIG BITES OF DUBLIN</b></div>
<p>Dublin’s weather isn’t the most picnic-friendly, but its sandwiches can be stunners. Grab a <b>free-range rotisserie chicken special from <a href="http://pouletbonnefemme.com/">Poulet Bonne Femme</a></b> in the basement of Avoca on Suffolk street, and take it to the <b>Dubh Linn gardens</b> in <b>Dublin Castle</b>.</p>
<p><b>MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR A NIGHTCAP IS </b>the <b><a href="http://vintagecocktailclub.com/">Vintage Cocktail Club</a></b> on Crown Alley. It’s the most un-Temple Bar-like bar in Temple Bar – marked by a small doorbell just south of the Bad Ass Café. Its “Daily Mule” is a good vodka pick me-up. Or try the “Single Elix”, a Connemara single malt whiskey with orange bitters, lemon oils, and the “Bitter Truth Elixir.” Sláinte.</p>
<p><b>THE MOST UNUSUAL PLACE TO STAY</b> is the Napoleonic-era <b><a href="http://martellotowersutton.com/">Martello Tower in Sutton</a></b>.</p>
<p><b>GO TO Mulligan’s </b>on Poolbeg Street or <b>Grogan’s </b>on Castle Market <b>FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT OUT IN DUBLIN</b>. Both are old-school Dublin boozers serving great Guinness and greater conversation. You never know where the night will lead from here.</p>

<p><b>THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE WHISKEY IN DUBLIN IS AT</b> the <b><a href="http://irishwhiskeymuseum.ie/">Irish Whiskey Museum</a></b>. You can get up to speed with <b>Ireland’s craft whiskey </b>before settling into the upstairs bar at <b>The Palace on Fleet Street</b>. Try a dram of their own-label whiskey.</p>
<p><b>THE BEST YET MOST UNDERRATED VICTORIAN PUB</b> is <a href="http://louisfitzgerald.com/"><b>The Stag’s Head</b> </a>on Dame Court. Any Dubliner will point you towards this Victorian beauty. Drop in during the day<br />
for quietude or in the evening for full-on quaffing. Atmosphere guaranteed.</p>

<p><b>AFTER A TIRING WEEK, I LIKE TO UNWIND AND RECHARGE</b> by walking through neighborhoods I haven’t explored in ages and just following my nose. Recently, it was <b>Stoneybatter</b>, a <b>historic quarter</b> rapidly headed for gentrification, but still <b>full of Victorian houses</b>, a great gastro pub called <b><a href="http://lmulligangrocer.com/">L Mulligan Grocer</a></b>, and local street life.</p>
<p><b>A LOVELY SPRING DAY SHOULD BE SPENT</b> walking through <b>Trinity College</b> to soak up the April blossoms. The <b><a href="http://botanicgardens.ie/">National Botanic Gardens</a></b> in Glasnevin is another off-radar treat – visit in January or February for the first droves of snowdrops.<b></b> <b></b></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>NOTE</b></div>
<p>Stay away from Temple Bar at night. Aside from the odd exception, it’s a tourist trap that’s<br />
over-priced and way over the top. Explore it by day instead.</p>

<p><b>FOR A TASTE OF MYSTERY IN DUBLIN, YOU SHOULD</b> take a tour of the<b> limestone crypts beneath <a href="http://stmichansrc.ie/">St. Michan’s Church</a></b>. Amidst stacks of cobwebbed coffins, clearly visible in the vaults are a few that have been cracked open, revealing the eerily preserved “mummies” inside. One is said to be a 650-year-old “crusader.”</p>
<p><b>WHAT&#8217;S ONE FESTIVAL YOU NEVER MISS?</b><br />
Did you know <b>Bram Stoker</b>, the <b>author of Dracula</b>, was born in Dublin? The <b><a href="http://bramstokerfestival.com/">Bram Stoker Festival</a></b>, held at the end of October near Halloween, is a deadly celebration of Dublin’s dark side.</p>
<p><b>THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE IN DUBLIN IS</b> the <b>40 Steps behind St. Audeon’s Church at Cornmarket</b>. They twist around the church down to a surviving stack of old City Walls, and this area is said to be haunted by <b>the ghost of Darkey Kelly</b>, an 18th-century madam burned at the stake for suspected witchcraft.<br />
<b></b><b> </b><br />
<b>GO GHOST HUNTING IN <a href="http://glasnevinmuseum.ie/">GlasnevinCemetery</a></b>, the resting place of over one million souls and home to some amazing Dublin stories. <b><a href="http://hiddendublinwalks.ie/">HiddenDublin Walks</a></b> also offers north side ghost tours. For something more theatrical, try the <b><a href="http://dublinsightseeing.ie/">Dublin GhostBus</a></b>.</p>
<p><b>THE BEST PLACES TO TAKE A FILM LOVER IN DUBLIN </b>are <b><a href="http://lighthousecinema.ie/">Dublin’sLighthouse</a></b> and the <b><a href="http://ifi.ie/">Irish Film Institute</a></b> for art-house and <b>limited release movies</b>. But check the listings at <b><a href="http://thesugarclub.com/">The Sugar Club</a></b>, too. Its stage, screen, cabaret tables, and velvet banquettes host everything from live bands to classic films and cheesy 1980s hits. Expect a late night.</p>

<p><b>I ALWAYS TELL FRIENDS VISITING DUBLIN FOR THE FIRST TIME</b> to go to <b>Francis Bacon’s reconstructed studio </b>at <b><a href="http://hughlane.ie/">The Hugh Lane</a></b>. In the late nineties, the entire – and chaotic – contents of the artist’s studio were moved from London to Dublin and painstakingly reassembled, along with the dust. It’s a weird and wonderful exhibit in an oft overlooked gallery.</p>
<p><b>WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO FOR HAPPY HOUR?</b><br />
Dublin has several grand old hotels that lay the atmosphere on thick and fast at cocktail o’clock. Get the glad rags on and hit the five-star <b><a href="http://merrionhotel.com/">Merrion Hotel</a></b> for drinks in its gorgeous Georgian drawing rooms.</p>

<p><b>WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE A BEER WITH FRIENDS?</b><br />
It’s loud, clattery, and straight out of the hipster pub-design playbook, but I often meet friends at <a href="http://theworkshopgastropub.ie/"><b>The Workshop</b></a><b> on George’s Quay</b>. It’s a reboot of Kennedy’s, an old boozer that we remember fondly, and the menu has a decent range of <b>Irish craft beers</b> and<br />
pub grub.</p>
<p><b>I LIKE LISTENING TO LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES AT <a href="http://whelanslive.com/">Whelan’s</a></b> or <b><a href="http://buttonfactory.ie/">The Button Factory</a></b>, where <b>up-and-coming bands play</b> in intimate, sticky-floored venues. “I saw them back when they played Whelan’s,” is the Dublin muso’s trump card.</p>

<p><b>TO CLEAR MY MIND, I GO TO</b> the <b>roof garden in the <a href="http://cbl.ie/">Chester BeattyLibrary</a></b>. It’s a surprising space with great views in the middle of Dublin Castle.</p>
<p><b>THE MOST PICTURESQUE SPOT IN DUBLIN IS</b> a short walk up <b>Mountpelier Hill </b>which gives breathtaking views over the city and as far as Northern Ireland. It’s got a haunted building (<b>The Hell Fire Club</b>), too.</p>
<p><b>TOURISTS SHOULD NOT MISS </b>visiting the <b>old churches of Dublin</b>. Take some time to pop into the medieval church of <b><a href="http://heritageireland.ie/">St. Audeon’s</a></b>, or <b><a href="http://johnslane.ie/">John’s Lane Church</a></b> in The Liberties. Pugin’s design is one of the finest pieces of ecclesiastical architecture in the city – indeed, Ruskin is said to have dubbed it “a poem in stone.” The mosaics inside are amazing, too.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>THE SHOW MUST GO ON</b><b><br />
</b></div>
<p>The best entertainment is often just a few friends chin-wagging over a pint. But you can catch comedy (good and bad) at <b><a href="http://international-bar.com/">The International</a></b>. First-time visitors should check out some theater at <b><a href="http://abbeytheatre.ie/">The Abbey</a></b>, <b><a href="http://gatetheartre.ie/">The Gate</a></b> or <a href="http://smockalley.com/">Smock Alley</a><b>.</b></p>
<p><b>I AM CURRENTLY IN LOVE WITH </b><b>Dublin’s North side</b>. Relatively few tourists venture across the <b>River Liffey</b>, but there’s so much to do here – from the <b><a href="http://gpowitnesshistory.ie/">GPO’s new Witness History exhibition</a></b> to <b><a href="http://winding-stair.com/">The Winding Stair </a></b>bookshop and café overlooking the river, and the <b>Georgian architecture of Henrietta Street</b>. It’s not as postcard-pretty as the south side,<br />
but any work you put in here is very much rewarded.<br />
