It’s summer holiday season! Unfortunately, for loads of us, this means it’s also “looking through our phone contract’s fine print to find out just how much we’re going to get stung for using data roaming abroad” season. We’ve all been there: one minute, you need to use a map on your phone because you’re lost in a pretty Spanish neighbourhood, and the next, you’re looking down the barrel of a pretty hefty bill once you get back. O2 customers, however, don’t have to worry: O2 is the only major network that still offers free EU Roaming up to 25GB*, meaning that their customers can search for local recommendations, find directions, and make the most of their holidays, without any hidden charges on their return. But the good stuff doesn’t stop there: O2 customers also get access to the Priority app**, where there are currently plenty of exclusive rewards and experiences (including a Time Out Market voucher!) to take your trip from good to great.And here at Time Out, we’re all about using roaming to help you discover hidden gems and make the most of your travels. So while you’re taking full advantage of O2 Roaming and  Priority rewards, we at Time Out also wanted to arm you with our top recommendations for the best things to see, do and explore in four of our favourite European cities this summer – where you can also watch the beautiful game in beautiful places, of course. Consider these recs the cherry on top of your next adventure. Photography: ShutterstockBudapest, Hungary Bud

If you’ve lived in London a while, you’ll know what BYOB is. But have you heard of BYOD before now? Thought not.

The slow evolution of spring into summer in London is a wonderful thing: the clocks go forward, you no longer have to leave work under the cover of darkness, and instead of hibernating inside in front of the TV, everyone’s finally back up and about, ready to experience the brilliance the city has to offer all over again.This summer, one unmissable event in London’s calendar is Kew Gardens’ huge Henry Moore exhibition, Monumental Nature. Organised in partnership with the Henry Moore Foundation, and supported by The Nora McNeely Hurley Foundation with additional support from Sotheby's, this is the largest ever presentation of outdoor artworks by this prolific creator of public art – and these grand, imposing sculptures have to be seen to be believed. They’re also accompanied by a show displaying some of Moore’s smaller scale works, tracing a throughline that spans his entire career, and offering a rare, comprehensive look at his brilliant work. That should be more than enough to convince you to get yourself over to Kew Gardens, but here are some further reasons to catch this exhibition while you can, for good measure.

Billed as ‘the Super Bowl of music’ and ‘the Disneyland of festivals’, Rock in Rio Lisbon is a bucket-list item for music lovers the world over. And isn’t it about time you ticked it off – while using the event as the perfect excuse to explore Portugal’s capital, of course? Bringing serious vibes to one of Europe’s most beautiful, creative and historic cities every other year, the festival returns this June across two weekends (June 20-21 and June 27-28). Rock in Rio Lisbon 2026 promises to be bigger and better than ever, marking 22 years in Portugal, almost as impressive as its 42-year history in Rio, where it began in 1985. Rock In Rio Lisbon Easily one of Europe’s biggest festivals, the stages will be star-studded, to say the least. Think: Katy Perry and Linkin Park, Rod Stewart and 21 Savage for a truly generation-spanning headline bill – not to mention Cypress Hill, Kaiser Chiefs, Central Cee, Charlie Puth, Shaggy, Cyndi Lauper, Joss Stone, Audrey Nuna – the voice of Mira in K Pop Demon Hunters – and so many more. And thanks to the festival’s stunning location, you’re pretty much guaranteed great weather and an unbeatable sunset backdrop over the Tagus River every night.Taking place at the City of Rock in Parque Tejo, the double weekender features a dedicated Rock Day (June 21) and Legends Day (June 27), as well as the biggest day for rap and Afrobeats in the festival’s history (June 28), so every musical taste is catered for.
