get lost Takes on the Best of Europe for Issue 61

Committed travellers will already have been there. Many will have staged a number of return visits. But in the latest issue of get lost magazine we feature 36 of the greatest places, spaces and adventures right across the continent for Europe: The Cool Guide.

If your idea of a good time is partying in a traditional bathing complex, finding a deserted beach or jumping out of a helicopter ­– parachute attached, of course ­– it's all in the 19-page special, along with other hidden gems and the world's coolest country.

“Thousands of travellers from all walks of life head to Europe every year, but our readers want to know about cities, countries and experiences that might not have been inundated,” says get lost's publisher, Justin Jamieson. “Especially because overtourism, especially in places like Venice and Barcelona, is causing real social and environmental issues.

“In the new issue of get lost, we've gone beyond the normal touring spots and found places that are packed with charm and good times, as well as adventures that will have mates back home wishing they'd packed their bags, too.”

Elsewhere in the issue, Kirk Owers unstraps his snowboard and escapes the crowds on a culinary tour of Japan during the winter months, and Carolyn Beasley jumps on a kayak to explore the maritime wonders of Raja Ampat. Although known for its shiny visage, Fleur Bainger finds Singapore a surprising street-art hub, while Danika Porter walks with rhinos in Namibia. There's also a reggae festival on the Indian coast, an important Indigenous celebration in the Northern Territory, and an after-hours tour of Havana.

Issue 61 of get lost is on sale now at newsagents and online from Apple Newsstand and Amazon.
