Taking a trip to Eastern Europe is to stroll down the cobbled streets of Tallinn, the stylishly bohemian streets of Budapest and Prague, and kick back on the often-overlooked beaches of Croatia.

“Y'all, let me tell you, my 4-day Transylvania castle tour with this local travel specialist was an absolutely amazing experience! As a Texas girl, I'm used to seeing some big things, but the castles in Romania were truly something else. From the moment we arrived, the agency made us feel at home. Our tour guide was top-notch, and their knowledge of the castles and the region really added to our understanding and appreciation of this unique part of the world. We visited iconic castles like Bran Castle, famously associated with Dracula, and Peles Castle, which is an absolute masterpiece of neo-renaissance architecture. The history and stories behind these castles were absolutely fascinating, and our guide was full of interesting facts and anecdotes. Beyond the castles, we also had the chance to explore charming towns and villages, sample delicious local food, and learn about the culture and history of the region. It was a truly unique experience that I will never forget. Overall, I can confidently say that travelling with them was the best choice we could have made. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that we had an unforgettable experience really made all the difference. If you're considering a trip to Romania, I highly recommend booking a tour with this agency - you won't be disappointed!”

“Kafu the guide made all the right choices. He was instrumental in moving things along. Fantastique group on the tour. When Kafu didn't know something he said so. His energy remained high throughout the trip. Lots of sights and sounds and tastes. It filled the mouth and the eyes and the ears and the nose. And, most important, it filled the head.”

Eastern Europe — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Encompassing a huge swath of the continent, from the Baltic states in the north to beaches of the Black Sea in the south, holidays to Eastern Europe are as diverse as they are spectacular. From the Transylvanian castles of Romania to Mostar’s famed medieval bridge, a trip to Eastern Europe offers a wealth of attractions.

Tour Highlights

  • Wonder at the magnificent ancient architecture of Krakow, Poland’s former royal capital, including the soaring heights of St Mary’s Basilica, the simply stunning sixteenth-century Cloth Hall, and Wawel Castle, one of Poland’s largest.
  • Hike across Slovakia’s High Tatras Mountains, through unspoiled landscapes of crystal-clear mountain lakes, alpine pasture, and 2,500 m peaks in summer, or ski the same slopes in winter.
  • Take a tour of the impressive gothic grandeur of Budapest’s Parliament building, taking in the most lavish of its 691 Danube-side rooms, and gaze upon the crown of Saint Stephen, the first king of Hungary.
  • Relax on the surprisingly-fine palm-lined Black Sea beach resorts of Bulgaria, or soak up the sun on the untamed sands of the Istrian coast of Croatia before heading out on an Adriatic cruise.
  • Stroll through the grand halls and secret passages of Bran Castle in Romania’s Transylvania region, best known to the world as Dracula’s Castle, a fairy-tale hill-top fortress offering amazing panoramic views across the Carpathian Mountains.
  • Head to Riga, the capital of Latvia and delve beneath its reserved exterior to discover a friendly and vibrant city full of art nouveau buildings, modern gallery spaces, and ever-growing food culture.

Travel Tips

  • Although Eastern Europe is home to a huge number of languages, English is widely-spoken, particularly by the younger generations who were brought up after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
  • Much of Eastern Europe remains a cash society, so make sure you carry plenty of banknotes with you. Try and avoid receiving larger notes, for example when changing money from your home currency, as they can be difficult to break.
  • ATMs can now be readily found throughout the region, taking away much of the stress of carrying large quantities of money with you. If you do decide to make use of them, avoid the option of converting the price into your home currency as this can add a huge amount to your bill.
  • Much of Eastern Europe is conservative and deeply religious. Avoid inadvertently offending residents by being careful of what you are wearing, especially if you are intending to enter a church or mosque.
  • Don’t be afraid to haggle! Though museums and most stores will have set prices, there’s plenty of opportunities to have a little fun haggling with taxi drivers and market stall holders, though do understand these guys need to make a living too.
