WELCOME
to
Explore History
Welcome to the very first issue of Explore History, and to a
whole new adventure. Making the magazine has been a real
pleasure, and we’re so glad we can finally share it with you.
We’ve made the magazine for people who, like us, love
taking trips to the places where history comes to life. As
much as we enjoy learning about the past, nothing really
compares to standing in a spot where the
course of history changed (like the
revolution sites in our 35 World Heritage
Wonders list on page 20), or to happening
upon a historical hidden gem (the
fortified churches of Transylvania, on
page 74, are one such find).
You’ll also find practical guides
to visiting WWII museums, stately
homes and Highland castles in the
Mini-Guides section (page 93), and
discover how to live the authentic
experience of 19th century Prague
(page 60). So, grab your map and
compass and let’s get exploring.
