Packing Tip: Before you start packing, take a few minutes to check the forecast for your destination. Knowing whether you'll be facing sunny skies, cool evenings, rain showers, or unexpected temperature swings can help you pack smarter and avoid overpacking.

Ghent, Belgium, tends to get overlooked next to places like Brussels and Bruges, but it’s definitely worth knowing about. You’ll find canals, historic buildings, plenty of cafés and restaurants, and, because it’s a university city, a lively energy that sets it apart.

If Belgium is on your list, Ghent deserves a spot too.

France is best served slowly. 🍷

A Chardonnay cellar in Mâcon. W**e and chocolate in Tournon. A visit to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. And Beaujolais poured not far from the vineyards where it all began.

On select Avalon cruises along the Rhône, a Certified Sommelier joins the journey with tastings, pairings, and plenty of opportunities to discover what makes each region unique.

Before you finalize your itinerary, take a look at what's happening during your trip. A local market, festival, concert, or seasonal event can completely change the experience of a destination.

Sometimes the best travel recommendations come from the people who actually live there. ✈️

Maybe a local sent you to a restaurant you never would’ve found, pointed you toward a neighborhood you hadn’t heard of, or suggested an experience that wasn’t even on your list.

Have you ever taken a local’s recommendation while traveling? What did they suggest, and was it worth it? 👀
