Weekend Roundup : International Edition

The work week is coming to a close and we are already thinking about how we will use up those days of R & R! Take a look at some of the fun things going on around the world and let them inspire your weekend! Or jet on over and stay in Elegant Villa in Dublin, Ireland or a Villa with a View of Capri.

1. Dublin — this weekend’s top picks include Dublin’s rendition of Oktoberfest, the Theatre Festival and the Ha Penny Flea Market with rotating vendors that feature a vinyl-spinning DJ as locals browse for the latest vintage find.

Find out more about this lucky city and its festivities year-round here.

2. Capri — for a seat with a view look no further than the chairlift that whisks you to the top of Mount Solaro, the island’s flower, vegetable and vineyard laden mountain then head to the Charterhouse of St. Giacomo that is currently featuring an exhibit on Hermann Nitsch’s “Leviticus”, Vittorio Pavoncello’s Hebrew engravings, and Romanian artist Radu Dragomirescu. Top it off with fresh ceviche and people watching in the Piazetta!

3. Paris –Do we ever need an excuse to escape to Paris? I think not. This weekend’s highlights include an exclusive tour of the Grand Opera Garnier, snagging a seat to one of the Paris Fashion Week’s myriad of shows and an expo featuring Gauguin, one of the most celebrated French artists of the 21st century renowned for his painting, sculpture, graphic and decorative arts.
