A-Z travel guide for 2002

5 April 2012

Only one thing will get you through this miserable month of overdrafts and new gym regimes: the promise of a holiday. Now is the moment to start planning, booking - and compiling capsule wardrobes.

To inspire and encourage, we've tirelessly scoured the globe for the best travel destinations of 2002. We've gone surfing with sea otters, discovered a Mexican radish festival, sought out the private islands that the celebrities would rather keep to themselves. And for those who've recently developed a fear of flying, we've found the best holidays closer to home.

Did you know, for example, that Norfolk is the new Hamptons? That London's classic hotels are the newest places to be seen? That Snowdonia is as good for the soul as the Brazilian rainforest? Whether it's a weekend at the North Pole or a quick gastronomic tour of Berkshire, our A to Z of travel has the lowdown. Bon voyage!
