You get warm nights, a calendar of festivals and&nbsp;exhibitions&nbsp;and close proximity to people who think differently from you. However if&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;weighing up the&nbsp;best&nbsp;summer destinations in Europe, the real question&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;just where to go.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;what&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;bring back with you: a genuine global perspective.&nbsp;Here\u2019s&nbsp;where to find it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-cities-that-nbsp-inspire-nbsp-hubs-for-culture-and-business-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cities that&nbsp;inspire:&nbsp;hubs for culture and business&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;best&nbsp;way to experience a new city is to live it.&nbsp;That\u2019s&nbsp;when&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;be rewarded for wandering unfamiliar streets and jembracing a culture different from your own. Rome, Strasbourg,&nbsp;Berlin&nbsp;and Paris all rank among the&nbsp;best&nbsp;cities to visit in Europe for exactly that reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-rome\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the summertime, Rome means dinner in a piazza at 9 p.m., surrounded by live music. Then, finding the Roman Forum empty at 8 a.m. the next morning. Wander the ruins and start learning how Roman law and civic life actually worked by standing right where it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-strasbourg\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strasbourg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right on the French-German border, Strasbourg makes for a fascinating immersive experience into two cultures. Menus switch languages halfway down the street and the timber old town opens up to an iconic Gothic cathedral, which has influenced architecture across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-berlin\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Berlin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berlin is a unique combination of rebellious startups and deep tech innovation, bridged by traditional German structure. Spend a week here and you\u2019ll go from flea market to beer garden, surrounded by entrepreneurs and young professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-paris\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paris empties out in summer as Parisians head to the coast. That means shorter lines at the Louvre, and the city feels like its yours. In addition, those smaller museums with Caravaggio, Monet and Van Gogh are at your disposal to enjoy. Pass the time in a local bistro and grab some vintage French literature at one of the bouquinistes (used-book sellers) along the Seine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask anyone what they remember from a&nbsp;summer in&nbsp;Europe&nbsp;and&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;rarely the landmarks.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;the people they met, the stories they heard, or the moments they pushed themselves out of their comfort zones. When they spoke broken French to a waiter and ended up with an unexpected&nbsp;dish, or&nbsp;struck up a conversation with a local and made a new lifelong friend.&nbsp;That\u2019s&nbsp;cultural immersion, and&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;something you&nbsp;can\u2019t&nbsp;get from a beach vacation or sitting in any classroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-madrid-the-ultimate-summer-capital-and-travel-launchpad-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madrid: the ultimate summer capital and travel launchpad&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only get to spend your summer in one city, make it Madrid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By day, surround yourself with some of Europe\u2019s finest art. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/museodelprado-tickets.org\/en\/\">Prado<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museoreinasofia.es\/\">Reina Sof\u00eda<\/a> museums, you can find everything from Picasso to Vel\u00e1zquez. By night, dine on rooftops overlooking the skyline, savoring tapas made from recipes that go\u00a0back\u00a0generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid\u2019s metro system can get you anywhere in the city in under an hour. What&#8217;s more, the airport connects you to&nbsp;nearly every&nbsp;major European capital within a few hours. Have breakfast in Gran V\u00eda and you could be in Lisbon the same day for dinner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid has also become a thriving ecosystem&nbsp;of&nbsp;entrepreneurs. Home to a rapidly growing startup scene and global companies, Madrid is one of the leading financial centers in Southern Europe. The Spanish capital offers the chance to experience both history and innovation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That combination, a city full of culture and a launchpad to Europe, makes it a natural base for your perfect summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-balance-exploration-with-purpose-and-fun-this-summer-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to balance exploration with purpose and fun this summer&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great European summer&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;need a rigid plan, just a little planning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2022 Mix leisure with learning: <\/strong>A short immersive program can sharpen everything else you do this summer, giving your travels meaning beyond sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2022 Say yes to people, not just places:<\/strong> Talk to the locals, other travelers and anyone working in a field that interests you. Building an international network starts with a conversation, and the people you meet could end up being classmates, colleagues or friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2022 Keep a loose itinerary:<\/strong> The best learning happens when you\u2019re out in the real world. Anchor your trip in key things you want to see or do, but leave time for the magic that makes it worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;looking for that structure,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/ie-summer-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE University\u2019s Summer School<\/a>&nbsp;is a short, immersive program based in Madrid that blends academic exploration with the kind of international network that outlasts the summer itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ready-for-whatever-comes-next-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready for whatever comes next&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask anyone about the best places to go in summer in Europe and you&#8217;ll always get new and exciting answers. But the most memorable summers are the ones that end with you slightly different than where you started: more independent,\u00a0curious\u00a0and certain of what comes next, whether academically,\u00a0personally\u00a0or professionally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;need a perfect itinerary to get there. You need a city that intrigues you, filled with people who change how you think. Madrid, and the opportunities it presents, is as good a place to start as any.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner h-banner banner-b is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 id=\"boost-your-career-with-our-master-in-management\" class=\"wp-block-heading banner-title\">Ready to make this summer your most transformative one yet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"banner-content wp-block-paragraph\">Turn your European&nbsp;summer into an immersive experience in the heart of Spain.
