Travel Articles
In addition to our streetwise city guides, Urban Travel Blog’s collective of on-the-ground travel writers constantly update our blog with a number of regular and special features. Read on and be inspired not just to love – but to live – the city.
Regular Features
One Blurry Night in…
Whereas most nightlife features are written by geriatric walking-stick touting travel writers, based on a bit of local hearsay or an out-of-date guidebook, we are going straight for the jugular with our series of nocturnal adventures in cities around Europe and the world! Our brave reporters aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, and their livers damaged, as they drop in on the hippest hotspots, fearlessly imbibe the regional poisons and engage the locals in conversation (and more if possible!), all in the name of nightlife journalism.
Trends
Travel needn’t mean performing a tick-box circuit of centuries old cathedrals and ‘must-see’ museums. With our regular Trends features, Urban Travel Blog aims to lift the lid on the latest fads, fashions and crazes on the continent and beyond to give you something worth flying for. From ‘Glamping’ in Alicante to Turbo Golf in Warsaw we’ll keep you on the cutting edge of travel.
Experiences
At Urban Travel Blog we prefer to experience a city, than simply see it. In these regular features our travel writers report on some of the most exciting, fun and/or insightful experiences on offer in cities around the world. Read up on Communist capers in Krakow, cooking lessons in La Boqueria in Barcelona, ghost tours in London town and much more!
Green Light
Climate change and global awareness are already having a major impact on the way we travel, and that is set to increase as saving the planet becomes everyone’s top priority. In our Green Light features we will investigate some of the ways we can travel and look after Mother Earth simultaneously, be it working on dolphin reserves in Croatia or staying in subsistence farms in Greece. We also speak to some of the people making a difference around the world.
Top Five…
Every city has its unique selling points and specialties – and we propose to celebrate them! In our regular Top Five slot, our travel writers cut to the chase and dish the dirt on the very best… microbreweries in Prague, rooftops bars in Madrid, organic markets in Amsterdam, beer gardens in Bristol, bizarre statues in Vilnius and more.
Special Features
As well as our regular features above Urban Travel Blog publishes special features each month covering diverse travel destinations, hot topics and anything else relevant to experiencing life away from home. Check out the Language of Love and discover all you need to know about finding romance whilst ’studying’ on a language break!
If you are a travel writer (published or aspiring) with a great idea for a feature, then pitch your proposal to the editor along with a short bio/CV and some samples of your work.
