Travel Central and Eastern Europe
Central Europe is a storybook of imperial history, taking you from Prague’s fairy-tale spires and Vienna’s opulent palaces to Budapest’s dramatic Danube banks and the charming old towns of Krakow. Sailing Croatia, visting historic Turkey, to the canal-laced beauty of Amsterdam, Belgium’s medieval squares, and the breathtaking landscapes of Bosnia.
Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is a spectacular blend of history and nature, where ancient walled cities like Dubrovnik meet a turquoise Adriatic Sea scattered with over a thousand islands. Just inland, Bosnia and Herzegovina reveals a rich, complex tapestry in cities like Sarajevo and the stunning Ottoman-era bridge in Mostar. For a sun-drenched Mediterranean escape, Cyprus offers a mix of lively coastal resorts, tranquil villages, and significant ancient Greek and Roman ruins. Turkey provides an epic cultural journey, uniquely straddling Europe and Asia, from the bustling bazaars and Byzantine mosques of Istanbul to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia and the classical ruins along the Aegean coast.
