Stuff To Do This Summer, When You're Not On A Beach Holiday

I hope this is going to be a long and hot summer, so let's make some plans. I'll try to give few international suggestions, so no friends of mine are left off.



Art, for example:
  • Green Architecture for the Future 29/5-4/10 - Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen
  • Super Contemporary 3/7-4/10 - Design Museum, London
  • RA Summer Exhibition/Venice Biennale, Italy
  • The Tates: Tate Modern,Tate Britain & Tate Liverpool, UK
  • Picasso museum in Barcelona, Spain
Classical, for example:
  • Salzburg Music Festival 25/7-30/8 - Austria
  • Maggio Musicale Fiorentino 21/4-2/7 - Florence, Italy
  • Stars of the White Nights at Mariinsky Theatre 21/5-19/7 - St. Petersburg, Russia
  • Drottningholms Opera Festival 30/5-23/8 - Stockholm, Sweden
  • Savonlinna Opera Festival 3/7-1/8 - Finland
Clubbing, Dance & Concert, for example:
  • Space, Ibiza, Spain
  • Docken, Nordhavn, Copenhagen
  • Depeche Mode - live in Copenhagen (30 Jun)
  • Find and visit a Beach Party
Around Town, for example:
  • Visit Formula 1 race, like Valencia (21 - 23 Aug) or Monza (11 - 13 Sep)
  • Copenhagen Cooking (21 - 30 Aug)
  • Weekend Escape, see what Berlin can deliver over a weekend
  • Visit Portobello flea market in London
Outdoor, for example:
  • Grilling on the beach
  • Outdoor movie screenings
  • Go diving in Kullaberg, Sweden
  • Catch a free outdoor concert like performance by the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera in Central Park, NYC
Of course, the best element during summer, by far, is the company around you... So, go for it and enjoy!

As for the art part, do not miss the Picasso museum in Barcelona. That is just ... simply one of the best ww, IMO.
