For two weeks at the beginning of every summer, Slovenia’s second city takes centre stage as it hosts one of the largest festivals in Europe.

What defines a nation? The Italians have their cuisine, the Americans have their dream, the Estonians have… a Song Festival.

Now in its 44th year; movies screened here often go on to win awards at other festivals around the world.

Known more for its long winters than short but sweet summers, there’s plenty of outdoor action in sunny Moscow.

Some are rocky, others green. Some are mountainous, others flat. Many are infamous for their nightlife. Here’s out Top 10 Greek Islands.

What began as an important religious fertility festival has slowly evolved into a secular beer bash. Part ethnographic concert, part barbecue, part hedonistic drinking marathon.

Fancy recreating your own Riverdance right here where it all began? Several hostelries provide authentic backdrops so you and your mates can get jiggy with it.

So, it?s official, or as official as an internet poll of dumbwits can be. Warsaw is the ugliest city in Europe.

Portoro?, or Port of Roses, is the undisputed king of Slovenia’s coast – it’s also the latest city to be covered by In Your Pocket.

Occasionally you chance upon a venue so intriguing and unpredictable that you?re scared to leave town for fear of missing whatever is next.

To the English it?s Wolf?s Lair, to the Poles Wilczy Szaniec. Adolf Hitler, however, would have used the term Wolfsschanze.

Tired of visiting former prisons? Why not stay in one? You don’t even have to get arrested to stay at Celica.
