The weekend is here once again, but why let it blend into the usual routine? Here are 10 unique activities to spice up your weekend. Choose just one and make it stand out from the rest.
10. Explore a Planetarium
If you're reading this, you likely have at least a passing curiosity about science and space. Why not take a trip to your nearby planetarium this weekend? Not only will you enjoy an extraordinary view of the night sky—something not easily matched from Earth (unless you live in the Arctic!)—but planetariums often host special shows over the weekend too.
9. Take a Barista Coffee Workshop
Tired of brewing disappointing coffee? Consider signing up for a barista course this weekend to master the art of making coffee like a pro. If no course is available, you could always ask a local barista to share some tips and tricks with you.
8. Enroll in a Defensive Driving Class
If you haven’t yet experienced a Defensive Driving Course, now is the ideal time to give it a try. You’ll gain evasive skills, valuable safety knowledge, and even race through obstacle courses. It’s not only enjoyable but also teaches you how to stay safe behind the wheel.
7. Take Your Dream Car for a Spin
Most of us dream of owning a particular car (for me, it’s a Bentley) – so why not call your local dealership and arrange a test drive? If it’s a high-end model, you may need to sound like you can afford it on the phone. Imagine the joy of cruising through the city in your dream car. Sometimes, dealerships even allow you to take the car for half a day—if that’s the case, why not pair this experience with a Posh Picnic (number 9) and make it a memorable day?
6. Unwind at a Day Spa
Both men and women deserve to pamper their skin and bodies, so why not indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment? At the very least, you could enjoy a soothing massage accompanied by aromatherapy. It's an ideal way to decompress after a hectic week. I suggest scheduling this early in your weekend. Once you've refreshed yourself, consider heading to number 6 (Theatre or Opera) for an evening outing.
5. Enjoy a Night at the Theatre or Opera
How many readers have attended the Opera or the Theatre? It's likely that most haven’t. However, if you make a smart choice, opera can be quite engaging – it's not like the old days when overweight women in outdated costumes performed. The same goes for the theatre. I suggest giving a modern opera a chance. Some composers you may find intriguing include Alban Berg, Dmitri Shostakovich, Bela Bartok, Alfred Schnittke, Benjamin Britten, and Philip Glass. The image above is from Berg’s opera Lulu, which features a lesbian countess and Jack the Ripper.
4. Go on a Coach Tour
If you're new to your city, a bus tour is the perfect way to explore and discover places you probably haven’t seen before. Even if you've lived there for a long time, it's an exciting way to uncover hidden corners of the city. If you're near another city you rarely visit, why not take a bus there and tour that city as well?

3. Catch Up with an Old Friend
We all have friends we haven’t caught up with in a while. Why not reach out and make plans to meet up this weekend? One of the most enjoyable ways to spend your evening is at home (whether at your place or your friend's) with a beer or wine and some lively conversation. If the weather is nice where you are, consider having a barbecue and turning it into an unforgettable night.
Public Service Announcement: Mytour highly recommends you indulge in a drink this weekend. Let’s conclude with the unforgettable words of Madame Bollinger:
“I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes, I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it if I am; Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.”
Wishing you a fantastic weekend ahead!
2. Elegant Picnic Affair
Planning a spontaneous adventure? Treat yourself to a quick escape by booking a hotel room at the last minute. You never know what surprises await!
1. Reserve a Last-Minute Getaway
Perfect for couples or groups, this idea allows you to enjoy a night out without the usual hassle. Numerous websites offer last-minute deals on affordable hotel rooms, so why not splurge on a night in a luxury hotel you wouldn’t usually book? Enjoy movies and drinks, and the best part—no cleaning up the next morning! Just make sure to pack your hangover remedies.
