Where to Go episodes:

December 16, 2020 Dublin & Ireland
In more normal times, Ireland and Dublin enthral millions of visitors every year. Dublin is the all-signing, all-dancing capital: home to historical architecture, eye-opening cultural institutions, an unparalleled music scene and – of course – that all-important pint of Guinness. Meanwhile the island of Ireland contains some of Europe’s most dramatic scenery, crowned by its wild Atlantic coastline and spellbinding lakelands. So this week James and Lucy paid the island a virtual visit in the company of travel writer Nicola Brady. Along the way, they came across viking ruins (in a supermarket), not-so-casual drinkers trying to catch a glimpse of Bruce Springsteen, Dublin’s fine foodie scene and salty seaweed baths.

December 02, 2020 London
London is a city that's always full of energy – think the reverie and theatres of Soho, the packed pubs of the East End, the buzzing commuters pacing The City and the packed galleries and food markets along the Southbank. But what happens when everything stops? This week James and Lucy are joined by writer Julie Falconer, also known as A Lady in London, to discuss all things London, including their favourite places to go, what makes London so special and how they got on in the city in 2020.

November 18, 2020 Paris
Paris is a treasure trove of things to see and do. But it's not just the famous sights that make the city so appealing to visitors – it's the vibrant local scene found across the city's many neighbourhoods – think cool cafes, brilliant bookshops and of course, some of the world's best food. This week, Lucy and James pay the city a virtual visit in the company of writer Eleanor Aldridge. They discuss Eleanor's life as an adopted Parisian, must-do experiences (champagne and oysters, anyone?) and how the city has responded to the events of 2020.

November 04, 2020 Unforgettable Journeys
It's the journey, not the destination, so the saying goes. In this bumper edition of Where to Go, we celebrate the launch of the new DK Eyewitness book Unforgettable Journeys by looking at the art of slow travel. Joining our hosts are adventure writer Shafik Meghji and editor Rebecca Flynn. As a bonus, writers Sarah Hedley Hymers and Sophie Ibbotson (as well as Shafik) give exclusive readings of extracts from the book.

October 21, 2020 USA National Parks
James and Lucy celebrate the release of USA National Parks: Lands of Wonder in conversation with two of the book's authors: James Edward Mills and Stefanie Payne. They explore the rich history and heritage behind the parks; how important the US National Parks are in American life; and why the time is now – after the events of 2020 – for Americans to start exploring their own back yard.

October 07, 2020 Scotland
Scotland is a land of contrasts: wonderful modern cities, breathtaking castle-strewn countryside and the wild majesty of the Highlands and islands. This week, James and guest host Danielle pay the country a virtual visit in the excellent company of travel blogger and itinerary planner Kay Gillespie (aka The Chaotic Scot) and Calum Gillies of the Isle of Raasay Distillery. They discuss the magic of visiting Scotland, their favourite hidden gems and how COVID-19 has impacted Scottish life and tourism.

Our first episode sees Lucy and James visit Italy in the company of travel writer Toni DeBella, joining us from her home in Orvieto, a historic medieval town in Umbria. They discuss the country's unique character (including the dolce far niente – 'the sweetness of doing nothing'), must-sees for first time visitors and Toni's own relationship with Italy, having moved there in 2012. We also discuss how both Italy and Toni reacted to the country's coronavirus outbreak and how travellers are now starting to return safely.
