Baedeker

Welcome to Baedeker, New York University’s travel magazine!

Named after the famous travel books created by Karl Baedeker, our bi-annual magazine strives to connect the NYU community to the world by showcasing our school’s travel experiences, with the hope of encouraging more students, alumni, and faculty to travel. Through writing and photography from wonderfully talented NYU travelers, Baedeker endeavors to examine what it means to discover the world around you with open eyes, and become a more worldly person while you do it.

After deactivating in 2019 due to COVID, Baedeker has returned in 2023 and continues to evolve: we’re expanding our global network with writers abroad in the thick of things, a dedicated Magazine Design & Layout team, planned events and workshops, upcoming collaborations with NYU clubs and associations, and preparations for new types of travel content. On this site and in our magazine, you’ll find stories of adventures from Uganda to Bhutan and everywhere in between. We hope you’ll find the inspiration to not only embark on your own adventures, but document them too; we sure did.
