About our notes
Our Notes are published from time to time to comment on aspects of travel, culture, society and politics in and around Europe.
These are opinions and news-related items that complement both the printed magazine and our Letter from Europe and presented with that same quiet authority and perceptive insight that readers of hidden europe magazine have come to expect.
