In Prague, you can get your fill of apple strudel at any sidewalk cafe. However,
(especially if you’re in the Czech Republic long-term) no one will blame you for craving
a giant soft-baked chocolate chip cookie. And expat Anne Feeley’s Bakeshop Praha (Kozi

Because I was (and often still am) young and stupid, I somehow managed to book a RyanAir
flight from my former hometown of Rome to Wroclaw thinking it was Warsaw. Yes, you can
laugh at me. A weekend of getting in touch with my Jewish roots and searching for Rafal
Olbinski works thrown...

While it's tempting to pull a Knocked Up and take a few mushrooms and go see Cirque du
Soleil, Amsterdam can give you one better. Have a coffee (with maybe a shot of liqueur to
avoid the cold), and then trot over to Het Muziektheater for a performance by the Dutch
National Ballet. It...

A 36-minute train ride north of Copenhagen, the trek out to the Louisiana Museum takes you
through some some beautiful areas of Denmark on the Zealand Coast. It's a great break from
city life and gives you a picture of the coastal towns of the country (yes, they have
those). When you...

If you haven't yet, check out Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind. It's been going
around from reader to reader and brings out not only the poetic beauty of Barcelona but
the city's reverence for words and literature (on top of all other cultural treasures the
Barcelonians...

Düsseldorf is one of those great cities in Germany that's loaded with arts and culture.
In 2006, it hosted a successful Quadrennial celebration in which all of the city's art
institutions hosted events around the theme of "bodies" (not the exhibition that shows off
human anatomy). The...

The happening Danish art scene doesn't just lie outside of Copenhagen, and thanks to the
Statens Museum for Kunst (Public Museum of Art), you can enjoy the classics alongside
modern masterpieces. In and of itself, the building is a work of art. Part late-19th
Century grandeur, part...

Next week will mark the 203rd birthday of Ireland's national theatre, The Abbey. Founded
in 1904 (December 27th, to be exact), The Abbey had some of Ireland's greatest names
behind it from its inception, including founding members Lady Gregory and W.B. Yeats.

Maria Sharapova isn't immediately synonymous with modern art, but don't tell that to the
Finns. Originally constructed in 1930 in Helsinki's preparation (re: rennovation) for
their 1940 Olympics bid, the Tennis Palace Art Museum originally sold cars and car
parts/service. When they...

Because it's winter and because Iceland is now seeing roughly four hours of sun daily, we
know you want to go to Reykjavik right now. Actually, it's a surprisingly beautiful city

There are many things I love about Amsterdam, and they don't stop at wooden shoes, cheap
ballet tickets, and bicycle rides to the nearest coffee shop. For a city that, unlike
many of its European capital counterparts, did not have a huge Baroque-a-rama or eight
opera houses or even a...

Lisbon is one of the cheapest capitals in Europe that has already switched to the Euro.
It's also the closest capital to the United States and has a lot going for it in terms of
local charm that has yet to be corrupted by TGI McDisney's. Growing up in a heavily
Portugese area, I was...

Ataturk Cultural Center is also the home for the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra and
Istanbul State Classical Turkish Music Choir. But the Istanbul European Choir also
sublets this space when it performs with the IDSO. Like it's doing tonight and tomorrow

Istanbul bridges the divide between Europe and Asia and while you may be used to seeing
the Turkish influence in Europe (Budapest, for starters), you may be surprised to see how
much of an influence Europe has on Turkey. The country is often seen in both European and

Seeing a classical concert in Zurich is like sitting inside a jeweled-out music box.
Being in Zurich in general is like being in a jewel box (complete with chocolates and
speedy, organized public transportation system), but seeing a concert becomes a
multi-sensory experience....

In our peripheries, we've all heard of Bruegel, da Vinci, Botticelli, Rembrandt,
Caravaggio...I could go on with enough names to fill a textbook here. But who's heard of
Benkovic, Piazzetta, van Ruisdael or Gros? Here's a hint: my spell-check knows how to

There is a distinct lack of a discount policy at the Rijksmuseum (although under-18 will
get you in for free, and the 10 Euro entry fee isn't so bad, especially if you go on a
Friday night when they have extended hours and frequent concerts). However, in the

The past few years have been a weird time for the Rijksmuseum. In 2003, it began a series
of renovations that will be completed in 2009 which has left the museum famous for its
collections of Dutch masters in flux for the past five years. Moreover, this summer

But the best part about the best bet for culture in Bucharest (we were really going for
the alliteration there), is the current exchange rate between the US Dollar (or, even
better, the Pound or the Euro...or basically any currency that's not the US dollar) and
the Romanian Leu....

Here's a great thing about Bucharest in the middle of the packs of stray dog/wolves,
swindlers in every section of the service industry, and that whole post-Communist attitude
thing: access to high culture on (say it with me here) a low budget is just as common as
Dracula...
