A traveler followed a listing to a sunset singalong above a museum and wound up harmonizing with strangers from four countries. Their tip: arrive early, bring water, and keep an open ear for spontaneous second sets.

The side-stage lesson

At a dance festival flagged in our listings, a reader stumbled into a free footwork class between acts. They stayed for hours, learned from locals, and wrote a guide that now helps others find similar gems.
