Monocle travel guide
On Monocle’s world tour this month are a Long Island hotel that takes you back to those summer camp days, cocktails and kebabs from Israel’s finest chef and coffee couture in London.
Leopoldstadt
Vienna's Karmeliterviertel was once a Jewish enclave but fell into disrepair post-war. Now, thanks to creative energy and smart city planning, the historic Leopoldstadt neighbourhood is experiencing a remarkable boom.
Esquilino
Hidden in the heart of the city, Rome’s most multicultural neighbourhood is attracting creatives to its vibrant and intrigue-laden streets.
Neukölln
A quiet yet vibrant neighbourhood bordered by the Landwehr canal, northern Neukölln now attracts international creative types who are looking for local colour, generous space and cultural diversity.

Monocle travel guide
Our quest to discover the planet’s best beds, cafés and spas goes on. This month: a well-curated New York general store, a floating Arctic paradise and a modernist Austrian mountain lodge.
Royal privilege
Escape Bairro Alto for Príncipe Real, a neighbourhood where shops on Rua Dom Pedro V sell specialist Portuguese products. A park hosts a weekly farmers’ market, and new businesses are always arriving.
Inner North Portland
Overshadowed by Seattle and San Francisco, Portland has achieved renown for its lifestyle and food scene. Now, its North quadrant might be the city’s most intriguing neighbourhood, attracting a new wave of enterprise.
Montserrat
Montserrat, the original heart of Buenos Aires, blends architectural elegance with a small-town bustle. Close to the centre but far from the tourist crush, it’s ideal for a pied-à-terre in the capital.
Nimmanhaemin
Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second largest city, its metropolitan air a magnet for creatives. The Nimmanhaemin neighbourhood, in the city's north-west, is particularly attractive for its many galleries, shops and cafés.
