Monocle #185 – The Summer Special

The sunshine edition of Monocle is here to see you through July and August with style, substance, and a sharp eye on global affairs. At the heart of the issue is Monocle’s all-new Global Urban Liveability Index, ranking the world’s best cities for nightlife, health, housing, safety—and the coveted title of best all-rounder.

Elsewhere, we browse the enduring charm of news kiosks around the world, take a seat at chef Enrique Olvera’s countryside retreat, and set sail on the Mediterranean’s first all-electric ferry. Plus, an in-depth look at Hermès’s latest timepieces, a quiet retreat to Finnish mökki cottages, and plenty more to inspire your summer travels and conversations.

Fresh, worldly, and full of warm-weather wisdom—Monocle 185 is your ultimate seasonal companion.
