These are the best cities in Asia for a ‘workcation' in 2025, according to IWG
Hands up if you've taken a 'workcation' or two over the past couple of years. For those unfamiliar with the term, a 'workcation' is a hybrid of work and holiday, where remote workers base themselves in a different country without using up leave days or quitting the day job. It's a flexible way of working that's quickly become a lifestyle for digital nomads, freelancers and lucky employees with remote work-friendly companies. If you're planning to take your laptop somewhere to upgrade your office views, the International Workplace Group has just released a list of the best cities around the world for a 'workcation' – and a couple of Asian cities have scored places in the top 10 rankings. The study ranked over 40 cities based on factors like weather, broadband speed, transport, accommodation, digital nomad visa options and their costs, access to flexible workspaces and proximity to nature. Taking the top spot is Tokyo, praised for its blazing-fast broadband, world-class transport network, overall safety and newly launched digital nomad visa in 2024. The Japanese city also scores points for its balance of bustling urban life with easy access to mountains, beaches and national parks. Coming in at number four is Seoul, following Rio de Janeiro and Budapest in second and third place, for its strong broadband infrastructure, efficient public transport and digital nomad visa.

Gorgeous European train journey between two spectacular cities
One spectacular train route, on the highest railway track in Europe and the steepest in the world, offers passengers a breathtaking journey between two beautiful European cities Rail travel across Europe is one of the finest methods for discovering the continent's hidden beauty, with one route offering a breathtaking journey. Europe features countless railway journeys that provide sweeping panoramas of the continent's most magnificent attractions. Numerous routes wind through spectacular countryside and awe-inspiring mountain ranges, delivering thrilling and picturesque vistas unlike anything you've witnessed previously. Yet, when it comes to selecting just one, one particular route connecting two gorgeous European destinations could well be the ultimate choice. It comes after reports of a small fishing village with some of the UK's best seafood but hardly any tourists. The Bernina Express holds the distinction of being Europe's highest railway line and the world's steepest, reports the Express. This extraordinary expedition runs from Switzerland's alpine hub of Chur to Tirano in northern Italy, passing through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges while delivering passengers an absolutely stunning rail experience. Gazing from the carriage windows, travellers encounter brilliant azure lakes, imposing viaducts, and expansive meadows that transform into magnificent snow-capped peaks as the journey progresses through the diverse terrains spanning both nations. The 76-mile voyage requires four hours to finish, and passengers can board the train in either direction. The service features carriages with panoramic windows, plus an additional Bernina Express coach service linking Tirano and Lugano, which passes through gorgeous scenery and alongside Lake Como. One traveller wrote on TripAdvisor that they "recommend everyone to go on the train," describing it as a "fantastic experience " and noting that the "adventure was beautiful." Another shared: "Once we mastered how to effectively book this train (train ticket first, later on seat reservations) the whole route from Chur to Tirano is spectacular. Observation cars are where most of the seats are, affording fabulous views. "The train makes a stop for 15 minutes at a mountain viewpoint, so you can have a leg stretch. At Tirano we had 1.15 hours to have a potter and grab a drink. The engine runs round, so I.T. changes ends, so if you were sat on one side outwards you will be on the opposite side going back. Excellent day out." Ticket options include second class, first class, second class return, and first class return. Prices range between 66 CHF (£61.50) and CHF 226 (£210) for the full route from Chur to Tirano. Seat reservations are compulsory for the train and can be purchased on the official website.

AT LEAST one person has died as terrifying wildfires sweep across Greece and spread across Europe.

This is now the third consecutive day of wildfires in the region, according to the National Observatory in Athens. They have warned high winds have been fanning the flames will persist until at least Monday. Over in Italy, brave firefighters tackled a wildfire which was quickly heading towards Mount Vesuvius. Officials ordered all the hiking routes up the volcano near Naples were immediately closed to tourists as a precaution. Billowing clouds of smoke could be seen from the Pompeii archeological site. France was also hit with soaring flames over the weekend. Around 1,400 firefighters were deployed Saturday in the southern Aude region to prevent the country's largest wildfire in decades from reemerging. Locals have been slowly returning to their homes since Thursday after 62 square miles of land was scorched across the week. Aude prefect Christian Pouget announced the worst hit areas were the popular vineyards in the area. Pictures show the devastating aftermath with the wineries reduced to piles of ash.
