Hidden Europe - www.hiddeneurope.co.uk

This is a very clear and easy-to-use website. Not an advertisement in sight. An online shop that actually works, and when I ordered the goods turned up in perfect condition three days later. Lots and lots of free content on the website, including an archive of their online newsletter. Worth trying for unusual accounts of lesser known corners of Europe. Should be first port of call for anyone thinking of making for Belarus, Moldova, the Outer Hebrides or Spitzbergen for the summer hols.

Wonderful magazine - as the two previous reviewers have said! Not sure there is a lot more to be said. For really witty, thoughtful material on lesser known places in Europe, the Hidden Europe magazine is a really reliable starting point. They have a neat online newsletter that comes for free. As to the magazine itself, I get it six times a year. You can subscribe online.

Hidden Europe is a bi-monthly travel magazine based in Berlin (but English language) that specialises in introducing readers to off-the-beaten track travel destinations, interesting forms of travel and transport, and also quirky aspects of better known places.

If you've had your eyes blitzed by browsing too many showy websites, Hidden Europe (www.hiddeneurope.co.uk) is the one to retire to for some really good low-down on Europe's unsung spots. They offer a free newsletter (twice or thrice monthly by e-mail). Lots of oddball reports like the most northerly stray cat in the world (in Spitsbergen), a restaurant serving Japanese sushi in Nagorno Karabagh and a stop off at Britain's remotest railway station - a wee spot called Corrour in the Scottish Highlands. Some nice online articles with reports from Sicily, the Aland Islands, the Orient Express, etc. etc.
