Summer is over – time to plan your fall vacation. We have a few tips, from islands to big cities.
Places
Good luck
Historic charm meets urbanity: the 18th hotel in the Ruby chain in Europe has opened in the heart of Dublin. The Ruby Molly. In Oxmanstown, a historic district that was once home to a lively fruit and vegetable market, guests are spoiled for choice with 272 luxurious and comfortably furnished rooms. Urbanity and rusticity go hand in hand here: fine fabrics, marble and glass harmonize with worn leather, tiles and black steel. A visit is also worthwhile if you have not yet booked a room: The in-house café is a wonderful place to linger. For the particularly inquisitive, the in-house library has archaeological finds from the surrounding area. We are already dreaming of sheep and Guinness in the pub and are busy learning Irish expressions – sláinte!

Lost in Budapest
Leafing through the pages, you could be forgiven for thinking these are behind-the-scenes shots from a new Wes Anderson movie. But the picturesque buildings are real, just like the bright colors: We are in Budapest. To kill time until our next city trip, we internalize every image from “Budapest Gem”, which captures the vibrant spirit of the city to a tee.

We Love
Greek Harmony
Summer is coming to an end. Instead of wistfully catching the last rays of sunshine, we are already planning our next adventure in the warmth. The Gundari Resort on the Greek island of Folegandros, which opened in May this year, should continue to spoil us with plenty of summer feelings in the coming months. Privacy is guaranteed with villas and suites. The private pool with a sea view is the perfect way to delay autumn a little longer.
