Lost in Milan
Milan. Italy's capital of business, fashion and design. A city that hums with restless energy, drawing ambitious dreamers from around the world. The country's second-largest city runs on a confluence of contrast. The Gothic spires of the Duomo pierce the sky beside futuristic skyscrapers. Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper shares the artistic landscape with one of the earliest waves of modern street art. A centuries-old flea market thrives a short walk from the national stock exchange. Storied fashion houses share the spotlight with next-generation streetwear. Through it all, locals from across the city join in the evening ritual of aperitivo, creating moments of connection that bind the city together. LOST iN connects you with the local voices who define Milan's identity. See the city through the eyes of a visionary design duo. Feel the urban canvas with a street art pioneer. Reframe the familiar with a creative who blurs the lines between commercial and subversive work. Along the way, you'll uncover spaces that shift your perspective: a skyscraper transformed into a vertical forest, a cocktail bar tucked inside a motorcycle shop, a fashion boutique housed in a converted convent, and even a preserved villa that starred in House of Gucci. If Rome embodies the grandeur of empire and Florence the spark of the Renaissance, Milan is the engine of modern Italy. It's where art, fashion, finance, design and dreams all converge to shape the future. Get lost in the creative energy. Get lost in Milan.

The Peloponnese contains a huge diversity of cultural landscapes, from sleepy, white-washed villages to Byzantine churches, medieval fortresses and ancient archaeological sites such as Olympia and Mycenae. In addition to a long Mediterranean coast lined with classic white sandy beaches, the peninsula incorporates towering mountains for hiking and skiing, olive groves which produce the finest fruit, and hillsides covered in flowers. For those eagerly awaiting the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Olympia in the Peloponnese was the Olympic Games' original home. Bradt's Greece: The Peloponnese with Athens, Delphi and Kythira provides in-depth coverage of well-known sites, including one of Europe's most spectacular train journeys and the tower houses of Mani.

Northern Ireland
New from prolific travel-guide author Tim Burford is Bradt's Northern Ireland, the longest and widest-ranging standalone guide to the country. A British-governed part of the island of Ireland that comprises six of the original nine counties of Ulster, there is nowhere in Europe quite like Northern Ireland. From great city breaks to scenic coastal drives, it offers visitors immense variety in a compact package. Belfast has developed an enticing reputation as an urban destination, with fine pubs, restaurants, music and museums - and Derry/Londonderry isn't far behind. The Atlantic Ocean coast of Antrim is renowned for its land- and seascapes, culminating at the amazing Giants Causeway, where forty thousand interlocking basalt columns thrust upwards from the sea. Games of Thrones aficionados can visit both locations and the studio complex in Bambridge. The edible produce of land and sea is justly famous, not to mention the whiskey: why not try a double Bushmills in the tiny Mary McBride's Bar in Cushendun, which measures just 9 feet by 5. As many as one in eleven Americans has Ulster ancestry or family connections, including 18 Presidents (such as Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Truman, Nixon, Carter, both Bushes, Clinton and Obama). This makes a visit to the Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh, which describes the origins of a key early immigrant groups to the United States, unmissable.
