France’s Resilient, Awe-Inspiring Gothic Cathedrals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When traveling in France, I can’t help but marvel at the towering Gothic cathedrals that mark the centers of many towns. I like to imagine what it was like to be a pilgrim 600 years ago, hiking for days to a particular church on a particular holy day... and feeling the awe when the soaring spire of the cathedral finally appeared on the distant horizon.

Despite Changes, Venice Still Charms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been traveling to Venice for more than 40 years. On a recent trip to research my guidebook, I had to admit: the city felt different.

In Milan, a highlight is strolling the rooftop of the Duomo—the city’s cathedral and the third-largest church in Europe. After taking the stairs or elevator to the top, visitors can climb up and down the roof’s

As you climb the dome of the Reichstag, you circle a cone of mirrors that point down, directing your vision toward where legislators gather.
