]]> A city with a good live music scene is a huge draw for many people, as it can mean good nightlife or a city with a buzzing cultural hub. Here are three European cities with very different music scenes that are all thriving in their own way.

Berlin

Berlin has a buzzing nightlife and is home to some of the most popular nightclubs in Europe. It has over 100 nightclubs that are underground techno venues, which demonstrates the depth of Berlin’s music scene. Berlin also has a great range of live music, including jazz and punk. If you are interested in your musical history, there are musical tours of the city that take in the lives of David Bowie and Iggy Pop who both lived in Berlin for periods.

Vienna

Vienna is the historic center of classical music in Europe and its reputation remains to this day. Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven all resided in Vienna at some point in their life, and the city now offers tours of their places of residence. Vienna also has an excellent opera house and many venues to witness classical music.

Dublin

Dublin has produced some of the most significant musical artists of the 20th century including Thin Lizzy, Sinead O’Connor, and U2. Dublin’s musical scene is quite intimate as there is lots of live music from smaller artists. The scene encompasses folk music, rock, jazz, and lots more.

]]> From its jazz music to its spicy cuisine and the world-famous Mardi Gras parades, New Orleans exhibits a rich culture that differs from any other city, both in the United States and abroad. So, if you’re in search of delicious food, buzzing nightlife, and unforgettable parties, then here are cultural hotspots in New Orleans that you won’t want to miss.

French Quarter

Still strong with the influence of the city’s French inhabitants, Vieux Carré is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. Built in 1718 the French Quarter is filled with Cajun restaurants, jazz clubs, cocktail bars, and colorful buildings with cast-iron balconies. You may even be lucky enough to catch one of the neighborhood’s jazz parades.

Preservation Hall

Since the 1950s, Preservation Hall has been home to some of the most talented Jazz artists that New Orleans has to offer. This music hall hosts jazz concerts on an almost nightly basis, providing visitors with an authentic taste of New Orleans-style jazz.

Café Du Monde

Since 1862, this coffee shop has been a staple of New Orleans locals and visitors alike. Café Du Monde offers a range of local delights, including cafe au lait and fresh beignets. What’s more, it’s open 24/7, meaning that you can pop by anytime to get your fix.

]]> If you’re a classical music lover, you may have considered visiting Vienna, Austria. As the home of a large number of very famous composers including Mozart and Strauss, Vienna is a center of music history and performance. One way to take advantage of this is to see a concert in one of the many beautiful, historic concert venues around the city.

Mozart’s House

The house where Mozart lived and worked is a museum where you can learn about his life. On the ground floor is a small concert venue where you can hear a string quartet playing the music composed right where you sit.

St. Stevens Cathedral

St. Stephen’s cathedral is an internationally known landmark for its soaring gothic architecture and tall spires. Inside you can view some history about Christianity, and the prayer hall has amazing acoustics where you can see concerts if you come at the right time of year.

The Kursalon

Built in the 1800s, the Kursalon was a venue that hosted waltzes where Johann Strauss himself performed. You can now continue to see concerts in this historic building just like Austrians did back in the day. There is also a famous statue of Strauss right nearby.

]]> The cosmopolitan European capital of Lisbon, Portugal is one of the hottest travel destinations on Earth right now. The city’s beautiful architecture, laid-back vibes, gastronomy, and cultural richness make it a place that is so easy to fall in love with.

One of Lisbon’s biggest treasures is its fado scene, and any visitor making time to travel to this wonderful city should make time to check it out.

So, what is fado?

This musical genre is a Portuguese speciality which was born in Lisbon in the early 19th century. Its hallmarks are the guitar, the viola, and the mournful, passionate voice of the lead singer.

Expressing heartbreak and loss are two of the main themes in fado, and the raw emotion of this genre of music is something that you must experience to believe. It’s a deeply passionate experience that will leave you impacted by this unique experience that you can only find in Portugal.

Lisbon offers up lots of live fado shows and plenty of restaurants even book fado singers during their dinner services. Simply do an Internet search or ask your hotel or rental owner for recommendations, and they are sure to give you tips as to where to see a great fado show.

There’s nothing more Lisboan than a great fado experience, and you owe it to yourself to live this musical tradition the next time you travel to the Portuguese capital.

]]> Most city centers in the West are somewhat divided into neighborhoods, each having its own history, architecture, and unique character. Some of us like finding ourselves in neighborhoods that are just out of the mainstream, seeing the local quirky crowd, and learning about the local fringe or sub-culture. There are a few little tips to help you discover where to go to get that fringe vibe.

Follow the Music

One of the best ways to find the right neighborhood to learn about a local community is through live gigs. Whether online or on notice boards, look for live gigs of bands you’ve never heard of. Pay attention to the terms in their posters to get an idea of their age and vibe.

Thrift, Vintage, or Second Hand

Thrift shops are a great indicator of the local crowd, specifically the local kind that doesn’t have a central sorting center that spreads the merchandise to different branches. Pop in to see the style the locals grew out of, and the price tags attached to the discarded items. If the shops are vintage and priced like designer apparel, this area isn’t quite what you are looking for.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8APChOHOGP/

The Walls

A quick and easy “test” of a neighborhood is the state of its walls. Are they clean? Are they covered in posters, graffiti, or commissioned murals? Look at what the art has to say as well, it will tell you who made and why!

]]> Founded in 1926, the Varna Summer International Music Festival is Bulgaria’s primary music festival. Its opening followed the opening of the sea-side city’s first-ever Spa, which marked Varna’s starting point as a visitors’ attraction. The coastal pampers attracted Bulgaria’s cultural elite, including composers Pancho Vladigerov and Dobri Hristov, who started the music festival.

Working within the context of Classical Music, the festival has several strands that developed over the years, notably the Renaissance and Baroque Music, the Music Lab—Varna, and the Intermezzo program that runs together with the city’s International Theatre Festival. There are also programs for children, cross-genre events mixing with exhibitions, films, and dance.

The festival was honored in 2019 with the EFFE label, a European quality stamp, and was named one of the 24 best festivals in Europe, a testament to the ambitious programming. In 2020, the festival takes place in open-air venues and if the pandemic is still with us in 2021, we assume the festival will find a way to take place.

Over the years, the festival hosted some of the world’s best and most renowned musicians, conductors, and orchestras including the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, baritone Hugo Oliveira, and acclaimed pianist Toshiki Usui. The festival runs from July until October and is a must-go for classical music fans.

However, if you make it into a real trip it won’t just be traveling for a concert. Here are some reasons why making a trip out of it is super fun.

New Places

Sometimes it can be difficult to choose a new place to visit. But, if you see where your favorite band is going to be playing, it can make it a lot easier! If it’s a weekend trip, check the tour dates to see where they’re be playing on a Friday Saturday or Sunday, and then you can plan your activities from there.

if your favorite band is going to be playing, it can make it a lot easier! If it’s a weekend trip, check the tour dates to see where they’re be playing on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and then you can plan your activities from there.

Solo Travel

If you want to do some traveling by yourself, it’s always nice to have something big to do at night instead of being alone. Going to a concert is not only something to look forward to but it’s also a nice social event.

Meeting Locals

Meeting locals is always the best way to see a city. If you go to a concert and talk to the people around you, most likely they will be from the area. This is a great way to meet the locals and get some amazing recommendations! Also, most people will probably even want to go out with you and you’ll make new friends and connections.

Thrift shops are a great indicator of the local crowd, specifically the local kind that doesn’t have a central sorting center that spreads the merchandise to different branches. Pop in to see the style the locals grew out of, and the price tags attached to the discarded items. If the shops are vintage and priced like designer apparel, this area isn’t quite what you are looking for.

The Walls

A quick and easy “test” of a neighborhood is the state of its walls. Are they clean? Are they covered in posters, graffiti, or commissioned murals? Look at what the art has to say as well, it will tell you who made and why!

]]> Founded in 1926, the Varna Summer International Music Festival is Bulgaria’s primary music festival. Its opening followed the opening of the sea-side city’s first-ever Spa, which marked Varna’s starting point as a visitors’ attraction. The coastal pampers attracted Bulgaria’s cultural elite, including composers Pancho Vladigerov and Dobri Hristov, who started the music festival.

Working within the context of Classical Music, the festival has several strands that developed over the years, notably the Renaissance and Baroque Music, the Music Lab—Varna, and the Intermezzo program that runs together with the city’s International Theatre Festival. There are also programs for children, cross-genre events mixing with exhibitions, films, and dance.

The festival was honored in 2019 with the EFFE label, a European quality stamp, and was named one of the 24 best festivals in Europe, a testament to the ambitious programming. In 2020, the festival takes place in open-air venues and if the pandemic is still with us in 2021, we assume the festival will find a way to take place.

Over the years, the festival hosted some of the world’s best and most renowned musicians, conductors, and orchestras including the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, baritone Hugo Oliveira, and acclaimed pianist Toshiki Usui. The festival runs from July until October and is a must-go for classical music fans.

]]> Whether you’re it’s your favorite band or just someone you love to listen to, you might think it’s a little crazy to travel to somewhere just to see a concert. However, if you make it into a real trip it won’t just be traveling for a concert. Here are some reasons why making a trip out of it is super fun.

New Places

Sometimes it can be difficult to choose a new place to visit. But, if you see where your favorite band is going to be playing, it can make it a lot easier! If it’s a weekend trip, check the tour dates to see where they’re be playing on a Friday Saturday or Sunday, and then you can plan your activities from there.

if your favorite band is going to be playing, it can make it a lot easier! If it’s a weekend trip, check the tour dates to see where they’re be playing on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and then you can plan your activities from there.

Solo Travel

If you want to do some traveling by yourself, it’s always nice to have something big to do at night instead of being alone. Going to a concert is not only something to look forward to but it’s also a nice social event.

Meeting Locals

Meeting locals is always the best way to see a city. If you go to a concert and talk to the people around you, most likely they will be from the area. This is a great way to meet the locals and get some amazing recommendations! Also, most people will probably even want to go out with you and you’ll make new friends and connections.
