London

London has a great sence and atmosphere for amature musicians with pubs doing regular open mic nights and coffee shops allowing short sessions.

While you're not playing music there is also a lot to do around London, from sights such as:

An image of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam

Amsterdam is such a beautiful place and they welcome amature musicians as if they are popstars. Folk music is the most enjoyed in Amsterdam, which with a ukulele can produce excellent sound playing for this style of music.

Coffee shops are sometimes even willing to pay you as the musician to play a set. This is not always the case.

In your down time why not explore Amsterdam's rich history and enjoy the tourist attractions such as:

  • Rijksmuseum
  • Anne Frank House
  • Van Gogh Museum
  • Take a Gondula Trip
  • Enjoy the Coffee Shop Vibes

Bologna

Bologna has such a chilled vibe where life feels like it moves at a snails pace. Considered to be one of the most beautiful places to visit in Italy it is also quite inexpensive as it is also a university town.

Ukulele players have found these cities to have more of a warming welcome.
