30 places and ideas for things to do
Our curated picks & insights
Communities that create unique opportunities for connection and leisure
Regular city festivals and events. If you’re looking for large-scale experiences, the city’s biggest music festivals will give you unforgettable emotions, a festive atmosphere, and new connections. We’ve curated a selection of the best events happening throughout the year to help you plan your perfect trip.
Oases of creative consumption — each one is perfect for spending half a day or an entire night
Top brunch spots and specialty coffee shops to discuss it
People come here primarily for the food (and only then for everything else)
There are hundreds of bars in the city, but only a few elevate the consumption of alcohol to the level of art.
Bars and clubs that are definitely worth visiting on Friday or Saturday (but not limited to just those days)
Wellness and self-care practices that enhance your physical and emotional well-being
This list is more than just shops – it’s a collection of spaces where you can discover local designers and brands
Art is more than just museums and famous landmarks. We bring you cultural insights and spots worth your attention. We don’t limit ourselves to “must-see” and the biggest museums on the main streets, so we also recommend those that most guides and travel books overlook. Here, you’ll find both classic works and contemporary art that truly resonates. It doesn’t matter what inspires you—avant-garde exhibitions or quiet galleries—what matters is that the art connects with you and stays with you
When you want to feel closer to the people and sense the city’s heartbeat—whether for aesthetic reasons or budget considerations
