Hong Kong is een stad die nooit lijkt te slapen. Er zit zoveel energie in deze stad. Tussen de neonlichten en de drukte van alle mensen op straat is er veel te ontdekken. Of je nu voor het eerst in Hong Kong bent of al vaker de stad hebt bezocht, je vindt er altijd leuke (iconische of nieuwe) bezienswaardigheden en dingen om te doen.

What would you define as a 'good life'? And then an even harder question: how can you make it better? The title of the first Monocle book The Monocle Guide to Better Living may sound a bit presumptuous, but its content certainly isn't. I would consider my life to be...
With all the commotion around royal baby George, I felt I needed to learn a bit more about the history of the British royal family. And what better way to do that than to walk around in a palace where many of them have lived since 1689 until today: Kensington Palace....
For some reason I don't buy second-hand books very often. But I find second-hand book markets impossible to resist. Even if I'm not looking for something in particular, and probably won't buy anything, I always love the sight of all those books on display. Some really...
Every year the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park commissions a different architect to design a temporary pavilion. This year's pavilion is created by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. The result is quite impressive. It's like a cloud made out of white steel. No roofs, no...
