Hipster Hideaway
The ever-changing city with hidden pubs and thought-provoking street art became an ultimate destination for young people around the world.

Whether you consider yourself a hipster or not, 3-5th August are the days to remember.
“Berlin is the transition city, the one that everyone loves but always leaves. People come and go once they’ve found at least a part of themselves. Even though they leave, Berlin forever remains a memory of a freeway ride that made you feel ecstatic and alive.” says one resident, Hanna Sagan.
2. Warsaw
The Phoenix City
With Warsaw’s disastrous history, no one expected the city to rise like a phoenix from the ashes. Yet, surrounded with what is still left from the gloomy past, Warsaw still managed to turn itself into one of the most modern and lively cities in the world full of open-minded people, vegan spots and gay bars. Orange Warsaw Festival showcases the best of the best of Europe’s music scene, with acts like Sam Smith, Dua Lipa and Florence + the Machine you won’t be good at saying goodbye to this beautiful city.
