]]> If you’re taking your first trip to Europe, there is something you will probably notice immediately after walking down any street. Anytime you pass by a cafe, restaurant or bar, there are guaranteed to be tables lining the sidewalk. This isn’t the strange thing, however. In the U.S., there are also tables lining the street. The thing that differentiates Europe is that every single time, the chairs will all be on one side of the table. People never sit across from each other, only side by side. There are many reasons why they may do this.

They Love to Observe and People-Watch

Many countries in Europe love cafe culture–meaning they love spending hours sitting at a cafe, drinking coffee or having a pastry. What’s the best thing to do while doing nothing? People watching! When you sit facing the street, you get to watch everything going on, which is kind of like entertainment!

Increase Awareness of Their Surroundings

If you have your back facing the street, you are more vulnerable. You can’t see if someone is coming up behind you, which could make you more likely to be a victim of theft. Keeping your back to the wall (and your bag away from the street) prevents this from happening.

Cova

Cova is all about coffee. This hole-in-the-wall tiny coffee shop had a few chairs and, of course, you can always take-away and find a nice spot outside. If you love espresso, this is the place for you.

Address: 14 Taha Hussein, Abu Al Feda, Zamalek, Cairo
Opening hours: Every day from 10am to midnight

The name means coffee in Arabic, and no wonder this is the go-to place for many locals. The atmosphere is young and hip and the service is great (they might even give you a free coffee if you promise to visit your mother).

Address: Arkan Plaza, El-Bostan, Cairo
Opening hours: Every day from 8am to midnight

Café Greco

This place has been around for 20 years and is still a favorite of many locals. You can grab your coffee and either sit in the nicely decorated seating area outside or just go on your way.

The Lockup

This bar and restaurant are designed to give you the experience of spending time in… jail. A warden will welcome you at the entrance and cuff you before leading you to your cell. The cocktail names being served are based on your felony.

Address: Shibuya Grand Tokyo Building B2F, 33-1 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku
Opening Hours: Every day from 5pm to 11pm

8-Bit Café Tokyo

The concept of this place is very straightforward—play videogames while getting drunk. The place is packed with all types of video games and consoles, and the friendly staff will be happy to help you out choose what you want to play.

Opening hours: Wednesday to Monday from 6pm to 11:30pm

Penguin Bar Ikebukuro

You probably heard before about Tokyo’s famous cat cafes, where you can enjoy your coffee while caressing a cat. This place takes it to a new level—why not enjoy some drink in the company of some penguins? The menu is quite classic, but the main feature here is the three penguins in the aquarium of the bar.

Ljubljana is a majestic city located in Central Slovenia, wedged between the Alps. It’s also a stone’s throw away from Vienna, Munich, Budapest and more.

Ljubljanica’s architecture is reminiscent of the Roman period with its amber-brown rooftops glistening in the sun.

There’s no surprise that hip cafes would inhabit this cool city; here are a few of some of the best picks.

Tozd Cafe

Tozd has a chill atmosphere located beside the Ljubljanica river – we highly recommend the tapas. People have been raving about them! Start your day off here or even come in for lunch.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz2kGPAF1Oj/

Repete

Repete is your go-to place for delectable food, craft beers on tap and even jazz music. Sitting outside enjoying beer with friends sounds great on a hot day.

Central Station

Central Station is not your regular bar – because it’s way more than that. Imagine a place where you can bring 20 and even more friends and enjoy music that fits your mood. They have several events on their website too, so you can check out the latest DJs playing. How awesome is that?

Peggy Porschen is a chic bakery located in Belgravia. It’s a place where you can get delicious cakes and pastries and pair them with tea or champagne.
