Tel Aviv by Ike

Tel Aviv is crazier than you can imagine. You can start your tour with Humus Ashkarah that provides 24 hours humus service on Dizengoff Street. Later on walk through Park Hayarkon and do something random for god’s sake . Here you can find some reviews about Silon Bar and do not be shy. Just mingle around with the lovely people there.Or you can choose an alternative club called Mental and get wasted for the night. For shopping go to Levinsky Market / Florentin and especially for art craft shopping, go to Shuk Hapishpushim/ Yaffo.
Of course Mark Ronson. Stop me if you can!!

Amsterdam by Wibe

Paradiso is a church converted into a concert hall, which is probably serving for a better aim now . You must visit this iconic place for a concert. If you are a musuem person, you should try Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and FOAM museum. If you want to socialize and mingle, you must grab a seat of the huge table in Cafe de Jaren. For a crazy night life, you may want to try Club Trouw, Sugar Factory (close to Leidseplein), Melkweg and Studio 80 (at Rembrandtplein). Spantaneously, walk through the Westerstraat to find the best restaurant for yourself. Do not forget to check Carnivale, which is a great event organized by Ben Komor and Job van de Graaf. Lovely Amsterdam!

PS: Wibe’s suggestion of book is ‘The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwel

Helsinki by Eva

Cold Cold Finland! If you ever had a chance to go to Helsinki, you may take the advice of Eva and visit suomenlinna. Do not try to swim before you go to a Finnish Sauna. As she says, there are boats to take you to the island. Yeah Bobby!

Amsterdam by Jan

Amsterdam is not just about window models and hand-made grandma space cakes. There is more than that. As Jan recommends, go and discover the Nieuwmarkt. You may also want to hear Amsterdam from Wibe on ifiever.com. For electro lovers, plug into Miss Kittin and the Hacker Then boost your energy high.

Krakow by Natalia

More Krakow. More Alternative Krakow. Alchemia sounds like alchemist, is an interesting place to drink and clubbing as Natalia explains. If you are interested in a Jewish area to smell some history, you should visit Jewish District. The choice of music is from Ane Brun.

Seville by Carlos

A lot to do in Seville. If you are thirsty for Flemenco, add La Carboneria Bar. You may also want to listen to Spanish Band called Celtas Cortos, if you want to hear some Spanish Pop.

Krakow by Aneta

Start with the main square Rynek Gowny in Krakow and see the touristic area. If you want to listen to the reference of a local, do not be a ‘la loca’ and visit two different restaurants. One is called restaurant Wierzynek. Or you can choose a more cozy place to eat and drink. The second place is called Babcia Malina. While exploring these restaurants, listen to Polish singer called Anna Maria Jopek. Welcome to Krakow!

Isanbul by Bengu

As Bengu mentions you may start with Otto in Taksim/Istanbul. If you really want to feel that you are just on the Bosphorus, you'd better choose the seafood restaurant Misina. You can try the traditional alcohol drink of Turkey "rakı" in Misina. Rakı goes best with the seafood and meze. You may consider Meze as Turkish version of tapas.

24 hours Night life does not sleep in Istanbul. Save some space in your stomach for the rest of the night. You may need all your energy for the night clubs in Istanbul. If you like alternative, jazz, and indie rock type of music rather than traditional pop, you should try babylon Istanbul, indigo and dogzstar. You may have the chance to listen to some great names such as Marianne Faithful, Natacha Atlas etc. in Babylon.
