National Geographic Traveller (UK) September 2023 issue available on newsstands now

LONDON (3 August 2023) — The September issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) is out now, and the cover story this month focuses on active adventures in Portugal.

This issue also comes with a free guide to the Indian Ocean. From Mauritius’s fusion cuisine to Sri Lanka’s new long-distance hiking trail and the Maldives’ residential islands, the 100-page guide proves it pays to explore when it comes to the beguiling region.
