Vacations and Travel just keeps growing bigger and better with the winter issue a massive 180 pages full of interesting stories, travel news and stunning photography, as well as a bonus 68-page supplement on Winter Escapes.

Our theme this issue is Great Train Trips of the World, with a story on the Rocky Mountaineer in Canada and a compilation story, with some of our best writers nominating their favourite train trip.

Peter Needham has the low-down on Sydney’s five-star hotels, giving you plenty of food for thought as to where to stay. We have excellent stories on Iceland and its amazing steam pools, Auckland and the beautiful Waiheke Island, and four informative pieces on Europe – Wales, Florence, Warsaw and Berlin. We visit Cape Town in South Africa, discover flavours and flowers in Canberra, relax with some wonderful spas on Vancouver Island in Canada and check out the sights of Aspen. We also go shopping in Hong Kong, see the sights in Egypt, check out China and visit Seoul.

In our bonus Winter Escapes supplement, we take you away from the cold of the Australian winter to Bali, Mauritius, the Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Penang, New Caledonia and Fiji, as well as looking at cruising in the South Pacific. We also asked some of the writers to nominate their favourite winter escape – whether it be warm and sunny or curled up in front of a roaring fire with a glass of red.
