Travel 360 °

Travel 360° brings a fresh, multi-angled approach to the travel show. Not only does it contain excellent destination information, Travel 360° also explores a different theme for the traveller in each show. There's nothing more frustrating than when those prized holiday snaps don't come out exactly how you'd planned them, so Bonnie Tompson provides some handy photographic advice in picturesque Budapest. Ryan Bailey decides to tackle North Holland by bike, not as foolhardy as you would think seeing as most of the terrain is as flat as a slice of Edam. Norway does offer staggering natural scenery but it can often offer staggering prices, so Ryan tries to find ways to keep his visit to a reasonable budget. Kisha Moss samples high culture in Salzburg at the classical music festival before heading to the Christmas markets in Germany to get her fill of mulled wine and tasty gingerbread. With trips to Bruges, Plzen and Greece offering more insightful information on beer, chocolate and celebrity, it looks like the Travel 360° team have all the favourites covered. Get the all round travel perspective with Travel 360°.

2  Bilbao

Despite a unique policy of only admitting players who hail from the Basque region, Athletic Bilbao has somehow managed to find success over the last century, still competing with the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona. We look at the origins of one of the most admired sporting organisations in the world, as well as the city with a reputation for cutting edge architecture that has become a top European destination in recent years.

3  Bruges/Plzen

The two presenters head in decidedly different directions again, this time guided by their own indulgences. Bonnie Tompson catches the train to Bruges, a fantastic setting that seems frozen in time, where she profiles five of the best chocolate shops in the city and tries some of the local chocolate beer. Ryan Bailey meanwhile is off to the birthplace of beer itself in Western Bohemia, starting his tour in the city of Plzen with a visit to the local brewery before stumbling on a Beer Spa.

4  Aix/Bath

Kisha Moss is in Aix-en-Provence to explore the home of Cezanne, Calissons and a thousand fountains, meanwhile Bonnie Tompson heads in the opposite direction to the city's aptly chosen twin, Bath. There she follows in the footsteps of the Romans and Jane Austen, to find out what's new at one of the UK's top spas.

5  Greek Islands

What do Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep and Penelope Cruz all have in common? Well, apart from the obvious they've all had the opportunity to shoot movies on some of the most dramatic and beautiful Greek Islands. Bonnie Tompson puts herself in their shoes by taking a trip to Kefalonia's world famous Myrtos Beach, watching the sun go down from Santorini's volcanic peak and observing the effects of film-tourism on tiny Skopelos.

6  Norway's West Coast

The west coast of Norway is home to the most jaw-dropping natural scenery in the world and is likely to retain this mythological beauty for some time to come as it remains an expensive destination. Ryan Bailey gives the low-down on how to travel on the cheap, staying in log cabins out in the countryside as he is heading up to Tromso in the Arctic Circle. Along the way he'll visit Trondheim, go wild in the expanse of the Jotunheimen National Park and even try some reindeer steak.

7  Salzburg

Few places in the world have a musical heritage comparable to Salzburg, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who also composed his first works here. His legacy continues today with the impressive Mozarteum, a world-famous school of music and through the five-week Salzburg Festival, presenting classical and operatic performances. Classic musical The Sound of Music was also shot on location here and Kisha Moss investigates the true story behind the Von Trapp family featured in the film.

8  North Holland

Ryan Bailey sets off on a bike ride around North Holland, a region constantly under threat from flooding. After visiting the small port towns of Edam and Hoorn, he crosses the country for a visit to the famous cheese market at Alkmaar and the neglected citadel of Haarlem. In Amsterdam, Ryan ends his trip on a cultural high by visiting the Van Gogh Museum.

9  Piedmont Region

Bonnie Tompson starts off her tour of the Piedmont region in the city of Turin at the foot of the Alps by taking some Italian cooking lessons. In between whipping up some world-class desserts she takes a peek under the shroud of Turin, admires the Baroque architecture during its turn as Italy's capital and heads out into the beautiful countryside for a spot of truffling before exploring the vineyards around Asti. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

10  Xmas Markets

The Christmas markets in Germany are not for the faint-hearted. Perched under the lights in picturesque towns across the country, some boast as many as two hundred stalls full of traditional tree decorations, spicy gingerbread and mugs of mulled wine. As the run-up to Christmas begins Kisha Moss visits the Toy Museum in Nurnberg for some gift ideas, comes across a Christmas theme park and the world's largest advent calendar, before crossing the border to the similarly Christmas-spirited Basel.
