Sunday Times Travel magazine is really nice and so is the European version of Conde Nast's Traveller, but they are very expensive in the US at around $9.00. National Geographic Traveller is not as attractive as those glossy travel magazines, but what I like is when one issue is solely devoted to one topic like Europe or Paris for example.

<i>&quot;For me, it's National Geographic Traveler. It contains solid practical advice, most of which is within my &quot;affordable&quot; range.
Travel &amp; Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler sure are beautiful to look at, but most of their offerings are beyond my affordability.&quot;</i>

Yeah. What Howard said.

Another vote for Budget Travel. Most of the other travel magazines cover options that are too extravagant for me.

Budget Travel has fun monthly features I like... 20 reader submitted travel tips, True Stories from the road, 40 tour package bargains of the month, etc. Plus interesting stories that I actually read like driving thru India, or a train across Australia.

I like International Travel News--one reason is that it contains hotel and restaurant recommendations from fellow travelers. I also like Budget Travel--there is rarely an issue that doesn't give me at least one good suggestion, even sometimes just a great website.
Those two I read cover to cover. I also get Nat'al Geographic Traveler, sometimes I like it, sometimes not.

My favorite is International Travel News. Nothing fancy,no glossy photos, but info from real seasoned travelers. I wish there was a better way to catalog the information from there. I really wish all the authors of the articles posted here. For out of the way places, like Romania, Poland, etc. it's a great place for info.
