1Dublin
Although audiobooks have really taken off as a way to enjoy a book whilst you’re doing something else, there’s surprisingly few venues for grownups where you can hear a story being read to you out loud, live and especially for you. That’s changing with a trend for storytelling nights, and Exchange Dublin holds some of the best. Anyone can get up and tell a story, and they offer cushions, duvets, and tea and biscuits so you can relax, listen and enjoy yourself. Interactive culture at its best.
How to get there
When you’re looking for the unusual, it makes sense to also check unusual sources for travel and accommodation, too. Many regional companies have deals you won’t find on larger sites – for flights, check out regional carriers like Britain’s Flybe, and for hotels, Mr & Mrs Smith have hand-picked the best boutiques, with discounts. For European train travel, Rail Europe is brilliant for planning.
Europe is home to no end of offbeat local culture—which city gets your vote?
