Decisions, decisions… Sometimes it can be a challenge to decide where to travel. If you’re craving a European visit but can’t quite make up your mind as to which city to choose, let your stomach lead the way! After all, a German vacation is going to taste much different than an Italian one even though the two countries are literally right next to each other.
If you have a particular yearning for linguine with clams in a buttery, white wine sauce, then you must head to Venice where the dish is celebrated with great enthusiasm and expertise. Or perhaps you need a super delicious white sausage with sweet mustard and a chewy pretzel; for that, there’s simply nowhere better than Munich.
Even London has stepped up its food scene so much that it’s now recognized as one of the top culinary cities in the world –something you would not have found fifteen years ago. If you’ are actually considering a visit to London, be certain to make a reservation ahead of time at one of the incredible Big Mamma restaurants because there are now six of them and they are all extremely popular.
Don’t even get us started on the culinary delights in Barcelona -it’s almost overwhelming. To narrow down your choice of places to visit, be sure to grab a Clued In Travel book because all of them have really terrific food recommendation complete with informative color images. Planning a trip should start before the airline tickets have even been purchased and we can’t wait to help you do it. Use our handy website menu bar to navigate to each of our city-by-city blogs.
Buon Appetito, Dean and Andie

Announcement: The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is now scheduled to begin on October 12, 2025 and will have a multi-country, phased rollout through April 9, 2026. All U.S. and Canadian travelers will need to register their biometric data (facial image and fingerprints) when flying into countries of the European Union; this will replace the current system of passport checks and stamping. It has not yet been disclosed which countries will be in effect first. There is no fee attached to this new system but it will be mandatory as each country adopts it.
The Entry Fee and Visa-waiver Permission (ETIAS) for Americans and Canadians to travel and enter the European Union has been officially postponed until the end of 2026… yet another reason to travel this year! Note that the United Kingdom however, does have an entry fee requirement currently in place; find out more at ETA UK.

Now that the European Union has officially delayed its ETIAS (visa waiver) fee and online permission in order to enter certain European countries until the end of 2026 (yay hooray!) we felt it was the right time to remind our readers that these requirements are in effect for the entire United Kingdom. As most of you know, the UK is now considered completely separate from Europe.
In the Clued-In Travel Books world, that specifically means those interested in visiting London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland are required to pay the small fee and be accepted/ allowed to enter the UK. This is done online at the following website; just follow the simple instructions. Do it in advance (we recommend at least two weeks.)

If you’re heading to London, we have a great restaurant recommendation for you… Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be blind, especially in a restaurant? This is your chance to have a unique experience and to discover how intensely food can taste when you can’t see it. At Dans le Noir? guests enjoy their meal in pitch darkness. Don’t worry, the chef is fantastic and you’ll be gently led to your table. We know this may not be for everyone but hope you’ll give it a try. We guarantee it will be an evening you’ll never forget, especially as your perception of people who have limitations begins to change. Call ahead to book a reservation. (By the way, there is also one located in central Paris!)
