Munich is a city that has it all and is absolutely one of the top places to visit both in Germany and Europe as a whole! The architecture is fabulous and includes opulent palaces, a basilica in high Italian baroque, and an impressive modern Konzerthaus made from glass. Here you can find world-class museums, an […]

There’s simply no denying it, Croatia is crazy expensive when it comes to budget travel in eastern Europe and Dubrovnik seems to top the bill as the most expensive city in this part of the world. Thanks to its Game of Thrones popularity and the seemingly never-ending stream of cruise ships that dock in this […]

I have to be honest, the thought of visiting Kyiv (formerly known as Kiev), the capital of Ukraine, didn’t immediately jump out at me. I’ve seen my fair share of ex-communist capitals and while I admire their architecture and find them culturally fascinating, seeing what I expected to be a grey, drab and dull ex-Soviet […]

Tucked in the corner of Czechia (formerly known as the Czech Republic), this unassuming little city barely makes it onto the tourist radar, meaning it was exactly the sort […]

A UNESCO World Heritage-listed town, Lviv, with its great culinary offerings, artistic flavour and coffee obsession sounded right up my […]

I honestly couldn’t believe how wonderfully cheap Eastern Europe was when I toured the region. And every time I’ve been back since, I’ve still been amazed by the incredible value visiting this part of the world offers – especially compared to Western Europe. It really is a beauty of a budget travel destination and I […]

Let me be straight here. I’m an awful driver. Really awful. Or at least I think I’m awful. So maybe the point is rather that I’m not an awful driver, but that I’m a nervous driver. Because quite frankly the thought of driving anywhere, especially in a foreign country, usually makes me feel extremely nervous! […]

Snuggled over in the east of Europe, Romania often feels like the land time forgot in this part of the world. Out of the countries I’ve wandered across in this continent, Romania consistently stood out as a destination belonging, at least in part, to a different age. Even as recent as 2018, it felt hard […]
