City of Culture

 
Berlin has long had a good reputation for art and architecture. See it all from the Panoramapunkt in Potsdamer Platz. It revolves to get the best views of the city at 8.5 secs/min at a height of just over 90 metres. From it you can see the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the Federal Chancellery, Bellevue Palace, Berlin Cathedral, the TV tower, and the Gendarmenmarkt.

While you're in Berlin, where better to stop than the Hotel Concorde Berlin? A winner of the prestigious HolidayCheck Award, you can stop in this 5 star hotel for less than £100 a night.
 

Festivals and Art!

 
Glastonbury Festival, Somerset, England
Arguably one of the most famous festivals of all time; this year it is being held at the end of June. With many stages and genres of music for everyone to enjoy, it combines the best of old and new music along with its wonderful location, full of quirky art to see and appreciate.
 Spend a night in Glastonbury for as little as £80.

Donauinselfest, Vienna, Austria
If you fancy going a bit further afield to go to a festival this June, then Vienna is a perfect choice. The Donauinselfest is Europe's biggest open air festival, with close to 3 million visitors expected this year. The Viennese Symphony Orchestra also plays there, giving an extra level to the cultural experience.
 Don't miss out, stay in Vienna for £55 a night this summer.

 

Stunning Architecture

 
Modern art and culture is also expressed in architecture. Go with HolidayCheck to Rotterdam and Valencia, two European cities which boast true art as contemporary architecture.

The city of Rotterdam, is the second biggest city in the Netherlands, and is characterised by its urban modernism, like the cubic houses, the World Trade Centre and the Erasmus Bridge.

Valencia is another European city in Spain with stunningly modern architecture. Proof of this is the Ciudad de las artes y las ciencias (The City of Arts and Sciences), designed by the famed architect Santiago Calavatra.

Hotels & Modern Architecture:
 Hotel Golden Tulip Rotterdam Centre**** - one night for £100
 Hotel Barcelo Valencia**** - one night for £52

Modern Art in NYC

 
After travelling and discovering the art of Europe, we move overseas to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Located in the heart of Manhattan, MoMA is considered one of the most important modern art museums in the world. Inside the museum there are many collections of architecture & design, painting, sculpture, photography, and movies. This museum contains the work of over 100,000 artists from all over the world, among which are the names Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet.
