The Himalayas are every adventurer’s dream, evoking an overwhelming feeling of grandeur that humbles even the most experienced traveler. But there’s much more to it, a reality that's sometimes overlooked in vacation brochures. Here's how to get started.

We've seen some tiny campers over the years but nothing quite as tiny as the newest member of VW's storied van fleet. Shrunken down to fractional scale, this ID. Buzz is more than just a toy, working as part of the world's largest model railroad.

Advanced Architecture Lab and Wiki World have joined forces to create a retreat that challenges the conventions of architecture. Known as Cabin of Maze, the project embraces the concept of "blurred" spatial relationships.

The Himalayas are a bucket-list travel destination for motorcyclists the world over – and the perfect setting for a rich variety of rookie errors that can really ruin your day. Here's some mistakes I've made, so with a bit of luck, you don't have to.

Imagine stepping into an empty aircraft and soaring through the air to take in the scenery ... without a pilot. EHang is determined to make that a near-term reality. It recently hosted an event to demonstrate the forthcoming travel alternative.

With the exception of flying in an aircraft, the Horizon 22 viewing gallery is about as high a view of London as the general public is likely to get. Situated within the UK's second-tallest skyscraper, it opens free-of-charge in September.

You'll have to pilot this next-gen aircraft yourself – although that'll be easier than you'd think. Lift Aircraft says it'll take you less than an hour to learn to fly its Hexa eVTOL, and then you're off on a unique and spectacular sightseeing trip.

London-based design firms Koto Design and Aylott + Van Tromp have joined forces to create a modular "hotel in a box" concept. Dubbed Hytte, the innovative accommodation concept transforms an outdoor space into a ready-to-go nature retreat overnight.

With its unique history, location, and population of monkeys, the Rock of Gibraltar is already an interesting place to visit, but it recently received a new viewing point too. Installed near a former British WWII anti-aircraft platform, it provides amazing views of the area.
