Fasten your seatbelts as Europe XXL invites you on a series of voyages of discovery, in the form of the midi-midi thematic weekends. All usual reference points of time and space are to be forgotten!
The midday-midnight-midday concept takes visitors on a non-stop 48 hour voyage to a Central or Eastern European city, region or country. Budapest, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, Warsaw, Bucharest, plus Istanbul, Berlin, Moscow and the Balkans open their doors to us from 27 March. Each weekend, we have the opportunity to appreciate the creative energy of these dynamic cultural regions.
No need to pack your bags to enjoy, from Friday to Sunday, a concentrated dose of the best music (from folklore to electro), live performance and literature but also fashion, design, food, media and more… midi-midi, or how to live with Eastern attitude!
