This series will embark you on a trip to explore secret and apparently ordinary streets, bars, public places that yet make the specific atmosphere of each town. You will see, meet, try new experiences – unknown, little known sometimes quite odd for your personal standard. From the hospital for dolls in Lisbon, through Budapest day and night buzz, to the international diplomatic hub in Brussels, the series will make you travel, and understand how these cities have been changing and thriving.
