I Think I'm Going To Europe... (Ibiza Experience Testimonials?)

Today I found out that my Information Systems Internship is starting on the 27th of May. My girlfriend has been in France all semester, and so going to Europe would be an awesome trip for a few reasons: 1. I get to see her. 2. I get to go to good clubs as I am 20 (I turn 21 in August). 3. I can sight see.
Unfortunately, I will only be able to stay in Europe for probably 9 days because of the time frame between final exams and when my internship starts.
So, I was really thinking of going to Ibiza for a few days because of the great electronic music following there. Does anyone have any other suggestions for places to go as far as music is concerned? London is obviously a great scene for music, but since she has already been there we may not go.
Basically, any music related ideas you have would be appreciated. :) |

Madrid and Dublin to add to that list.
Like others have said, Ibiza is the place to be in the summer. I would reccomend staying on the Playa D'en Bossa side rather than San An on the west.
Have fun. |

san antonio is a bit of a dump, playa den bossa is right by ibiza town where space & some other clubs are but also has a bit less of the chav/scally type persona. San An is close to get to via bus or taxi still, but the east has lots more, and ur closer to other places to check out too :) |

If you're in Europe for 9 days...I'd recommend trying 3 cities MAX. If you're starting in Paris to meet your GF 3 days is just about perfect. It'll take 2 days in the city at least to see the major sites, and then maybe a 3rd day for a day trip to somewhere like Versailles. You can check out either the Rex Club or Les Bains Douches (both are consistent about getting good DJ's).
Next I'd go to London for another 3 days--the two hour high-speed train from Paris city center to London's city center is tough to beat in terms of convenience. Repeat the Paris process--2 days in the main city, and maybe a daytrip to the Bath, Oxford or Cambridge. Try to hit up Fabric or Ministry of Sound while in the city.
Finally, pick one last city, Dublin is OK but underwhelming after Paris and London. It has the huge advantage of being super cheap to get to, everyone speaking English and being incredibly friendly and funny (although there seems to be more American tourists than actual Irish at times) but club crowds that are a blast). Berlin is a different animal--the site seeing is more cerebral and not as awe-inspiring as other cities, but still can impress, and of course, clubs like Berghain/Panorama Bar and Watergate are incredible. Other easy (and cheap choices) would be Amsterdam and Barcelona, which are equally wonderful and have great club nights.
I know it's too far off now, but you can check out international club listings on Resident Advisor (http://www.residentadvisor.net/events.aspx) and use that to help you decide.
Of course, in Ibiza, you'd literally have the luxury (and you'll pay a ton for it) to be able to go out any night of the week during those days in late May/early June and see DJs. If you went the route of choosing 2-3 "real" cities to visit instead, you're going to be semi-limited to seeing things on Thursday--Sunday nights.
Good luck! |
