The 22 best rooftop bars in the world

The 22 best rooftop bars in the world

There are plenty of things that make a bar great, but a show-stopping view? That’s a real gamechanger. What could be more elegant than sitting up high, cocktail-in-hand taking in some sweet, sweet scenery. Whether you’re perched on the umpteenth floor of a Singaporean skyrise or plonked atop a south London car park, rooftop bars are about the experience just as much as the drinks.  Sure, many of them are swanky places, but lots more are pretty down-to-earth hangouts, too (despite, obvs, being pretty far from the ground). Featuring top-notch venues from all over the globe, our favourite rooftop bars range from the cha-ching to the chilled. But they’ve all got one thing in common – a stonking view.

ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Martin Place

ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Martin Place

ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first day the Australian and New Zealand troops saw military action in Gallipoli back in 1915. In recent times it’s become a day of commemorating and remembering all Australians who have served in war. The annual dawn service held at Martin Place begins with the Catafalque Party and Band, followed by the ceremony from 4.20am by the Cenotaph. At 9am there is a march led by war veterans and their descendants, which will take place down Elizabeth Street. A commemoration service is held from 12.30 at the ANZAC Memorial in Hyde Park by the Pool of Remembrance. The sunset service takes place at the Cenotaph at 5pm. It is a shorter service to conclude the official commemorations, with the accompanyment of the NSW Ambulance Service Band. 

Sydney by Kayak

Sydney by Kayak

The most challenging part of the Sunrise Kayak and Coffee tour is getting up before 5am – but rising early gives you glassy waters and glorious photo opportunities that’ll make your hungover friends incredibly jealous on a Sunday morning. Instructor Laura Stone, her husband Ben and their incredible team run dawn tours that make the most of Sydney Harbour before most people turn and hit snooze. They set up single kayaks at Lavender Bay Boat Ramp ready for the pre-sunrise meeting time – and while we’re learning the best way to hold our paddles, Laura is picking up everyone’s coffee orders from a local café. Each raft has a custom coffee holder, and the cups keep the brews warm until you’ve paddled under the Bridge. The harbour water is velvety smooth, and the kayaks are very stable so you don’t need to work hard to paddle around Luna Park and into position as the sunlight hits Sydney Opera House. Our fleet rafts up to enjoy the view, sipping flat whites and snapping away with our phones. There’s a photographer on each tour snapping pics that you can take home for free, but it's worth bringing a GoPro along if you have one for the ultimate action shots.  Though the kayaks have glass-bottom windows the water’s still too dark to reveal any sea life – however, we do spot a fur seal frolicking by Blues Point Reserve. After an hour or so of gentle paddling we glide over to Sawmillers Reserve to check out the shipwreck.  It’s one of the drier tours we’ve encountered; expect to get

Swop Clothing Exchange

Swop Clothing Exchange

  SWOP makes it easy to buy, sell and trade premium pre-loved clothing. Sellers bring in their pre-loved items, which are assessed and priced by trained buyers, before being put out on the shop floor for sale. Sellers get cash or store credit, while second hand buyers get access to these special pieces that have been hiding in someone’s wardrobe. They only accept high-end or highly desirable labels, so you won’t find any fast fashion or budget buys on the racks. Each SWOP store in Australia is unique and tailored to each city, no two stores are the same.

Sal's Authentic New York Pizza

Sal's Authentic New York Pizza

Sal's is probably the only pizzeria in Sydney that can lay claim to serving an authentic New York slice. It's not that Sal's chooses to make a New York slice, it is that Sal's is a branch of the New York pizzeria established back in the 1970s in Little Neck, Queens and they have brought it to Sydney to ensure a true, New York slice. All the recipes have been developed by Sal himself, using Wisconsin mozzarella, Californian tomatoes and freshly milled flour from New York. Expect flavours like the classic cheese and pepperoni next to Sal's unique Buffalo chicken or meatball topped pies. Pizzas are all available by the slice and can be enjoyed next to garlic knots, pepperoni wheels, mozzarella sticks and buffalo wings with their signature set of dipping sauces. RECOMMENDED READS: These are the best places to get pizza in Sydney.

Estas son las 30 mejores calles del mundo

Visitar las principales atracciones turísticas de una ciudad está muy bien, pero solo cuando nos desviamos por un callejón perdido o tropezamos por una avenida arbolada podemos conocer el verdadero carácter de cada ciudad. Las calles son el corazón de la vida urbana; es donde las comunidades se reúnen, donde los pequeños comercios se convierten en protagonistas y donde los ciudadanos salen, pasan el rato y se divierten. Dicho esto, ¿cuáles son las mejores calles del mundo que vale la pena conocer y pasear por ellas? Para encontrar la respuesta, nuestro equipo global de editores y colaboradores aportó (e hizoun estudio) de la calle más bonita de su ciudad y, de ahí, creamos un ranking definitivo de las mejores avenidas, vías, callejuelas y bulevares del planeta. En primer lugar encontramos High Street, en Melbourne, Australia. Esta vía atraviesa los ultramodernos suburbios de Northcote, Thornbury y Prestons, y lo que la hace destacar son sus empresas locales y únicas. Desde Casa Nata, donde vienen auténticos pasteles portugueses, hasta Northside Wines, donde se puede degustar el vino local, pasando también por tiendas vintage y un cine independiente, esta calle está llena de vida. En segunda posición está una de las calles más antiguas de Hong Kong: el Hollywood Road, una bulliciosa vía que data de 1844 y que, según la leyenda, recibió ese nombre por los arbustos de acebo que antiguamente la bordeaban. Actualmente, ha cambiado, pero en esta calle hay de todo: el templo Man Mo,

Aquestes són els 30 millors carrers del món del 2024

Visitar les principals atraccions turístiques està molt bé, però només quan ens desviem per un carreró perdut o ensopeguem per una avinguda arbrada podem conèixer el veritable caràcter de cada ciutat. Els carrers són el cor de la vida urbana; són on les comunitats es reuneixen, on els petits comerços es converteixen en protagonistes i on els ciutadans surten, passen l’estona i es diverteixen. Dit això, quins són els millors carrers del món que val la pena conèixer i passejar-hi? Per trobar la resposta, el nostre equip global d’editors i col·laboradors va aportar (i fer un estudi) del carrer més vibrant de la seva ciutat i, d’aquí, vam crear un rànquing definitiu de les millors avingudes, vies, carrerons i bulevards del planeta. En el primer lloc trobem High Street, a Melbourne, Austràlia. Aquesta via travessa els ultramoderns suburbis de Northcote, Thornbury i Prestons, i el que la fa destacar són les empreses locals i úniques que acull. Des de Casa Nata, on venen autèntics pastissos portuguesos, fins a Northside Wines, on es pot tastar el vi local, passant també per botigues vintage i un cinema independent, aquest carrer està ple de vida.  En segona posició hi ha un dels carrers més antics de Hong Kong: el Hollywood Road, una bulliciosa via que data del 1844 i que, segons la llegenda, va rebre aquest nom pels arbusts de grèvol que antigament la vorejaven. Actualment, ha canviat, però en aquest carrer hi ha de tot: el temple Man Mo, centres culturals, restaurants, bars i molt

Hear Henry VIII’s wives battle it out through song in ‘Six’ the musical

Learning about history doesn’t have to be boring, people. In fact, it can be exuberant, colourful, tuneful and downright entertaining when you’re “learning” by watching hit musical ‘Six’, which makes its way to Zurich during April. This smart, savvy and infectious production traces the sometimes-perilous story of King Henry VIII’s six wives, told by the women themselves through the medium of song. It’s a fresh and frank take on this well-trodden tale. Oh, and these six have some stories in-store for the audience about their respective times as queen, as you’ll find out during the 80-minute musical battle. To make things even more interesting, each is inspired by a contemporary pop giant, such as Beyoncé, Adele and Ariana Grande.   Photograph: Pamela Raith Photography It’s a truly exciting sprint through a particularly ‘colourful’ period of British history, and it’s about to land in Switzerland for the first time, hitting Zurich’s Theater 11 from April 9-21. ‘Six’ has already gone down a treat in London’s renowned West End and on New York’s equally acclaimed Broadway, so join the masses who’ve already witnessed this innovative spectacle and secure your tickets now for its Theater 11 run at the following link: www.ticketcorner.ch/artist/six-the-musical. For a taster of what’s in store, take a look at the trailer, which provides a great glimpse into the vibrant ‘Six’ universe, including a few of the meticulously choreographed dance routines and the incredible costumes.

23 ways to not be a knob in Sydney

23 ways to not be a knob in Sydney

1. Don't complain about how getting to North Sydney or Parramatta is too hard and can’t your mates just meet you in the city? There's a train for that and it's quite easy. 2. Stop moving in next door to live music venues and complaining about the noise. 3. Get to the front of the line at the Gelato Messina HQ, Malibu sandwich shop or Oti' pizza ready to order, no one likes a flavour waffler.  4. Pushing your way onto a train, tram or bus without waiting for people to disembark should be a punishable offence. 5. Save your car horn for its purpose, not because the car in front of you can't hear you going "tsk" with your mouth. 6. If you want to stand still on the escalator, stand to the left and give way to the right (and no standing side-by-side with a mate). You're forgiven if you're here from overseas, where it's the other way around. 7. Jog in the bike lane at Centennial Park by all means, but prepare to share, don't barge. 8. Attending a yoga class and leaving your phone on vibrate is pretty up there, especially if you let your Instagram stories play through so you can view them while you downward dog, ya dog.  9. If you're going to walk three-abreast, slowly, in the city, at lunchtime or right after work, expect some huffing and puffing behind you and move out of the way for the speed walkers. 10. Don't boast about how you'd never head north over the Bridge, despite the fact you'd willingly spend over an hour in traffic getting to Watsons Bay. 11. Swim fast if you're

Everyone knows the heart-warming and dramatic story of lion cub Simba’s eventful journey to become king, but there’s nothing quite like seeing it brought to life on stage by over 50 actors, singers and dancers, plus various incredible costumes, masks and puppets. All your fave characters will be present to help Simba along his way, including Rafiki, Timon and Pumbaa, as well as mega-evil and mildly terrifying Uncle Scar doing his villainous thing throughout.

See the Alps in style and celebrate 125 years of the Gornergrat Bahn

See the Alps in style and celebrate 125 years of the Gornergrat Bahn

There are many ways to see the Alps, but perhaps none quite as impressive as the Gornergrat Bahn. Opened in 1898, it’s the oldest electric cog railway system in Switzerland, but it feels as modern and relevant as ever on its 125th anniversary, especially when you’re gliding along the rails, admiring the scenery. And that scenery. Towering glaciers, soaring, snow-capped mountain peaks, verdant valleys… This is Switzerland at its finest and – to let you in on a secret – autumn is arguably when these sights look their finest. Once in your smart train carriage, prepare for a smooth ride of just 33 minutes. During the journey, you’ll effortlessly rise to almost 1,500 metres in altitude, each metre of ascent providing new and exciting vistas. Take time to look down over Zermatt, a place that now feels a million miles away. You’ll also begin coming face-to-face with the mighty Matterhorn, the centrepiece that crowns all views of this area. For a different perspective of the Matterhorn, consider hiking through the pine and larch forests you’ll be able to see way down below. Gazing up at the mountain’s splendour from these scenic woodland trails has an appeal all of its own. Photograph: Marco Schnyder Back up in the clouds in the comfort of your train carriage, it won’t be long before you arrive at the summit: the Gornergrat. Prepare for panoramic views of the Matterhorn alongside 28 other mountain peaks that all reach over 4,000 metres. For those who like their hiking at high-alti
