Travelling: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotel Rooms and Other Strange Places is the ninth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 23 March 2012 by Roxette Recordings and Capitol. It is a direct sequel to their 1992 album Tourism. Unlike that album, which was recorded in numerous locations all over the world during the "Join the Joyride! Tour", Travelling was primarily recorded in Swedish studios in-between legs of "The Neverending World Tour". The album also contains three live recordings and four studio re-recordings of older songs, two of which were previously unreleased.

Vocalist Marie Fredriksson was more involved in the production of the album than she had been on its predecessor, 2011's Charm School, which songwriter Per Gessle credited to the band's extensive touring schedule. "It's Possible" was released as the album's first and only commercial single on 16 March, although "Touched By the Hand of God" and "Lover, Lover, Lover" were issued as promotional and airplay-only singles, respectively. The release of the former song as a commercial single was cancelled when a Bassflow remix of "The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye" – an outtake from their 1991 album Joyride – was released as a single on 26 June.

The album was a critical success upon release, with several reviewers commending the quality of Gessle's songwriting and describing it as a better record than its predecessor. Despite this, it was not as successful commercially as their other studio albums, peaking at career-low chart positions on several national record charts, including in Austria, Switzerland and the duo's home country, where the album received its only known certification, from the Swedish Recording Industry Association.
