Eastern Europe

The 13 countries that form Eastern Europe are Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania (not to forget as number 13!). These are countries with a unique and historical past. It was therefore very difficult for me to pick one of them as an “eye-catcher,” so to speak!

This is why you choose a trip to Eastern Europe

The 13 countries that form Eastern Europe are Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania (not to forget as number 13!).

Roadtrip

A road trip with friends or family is the best recommendation I can give you for Eastern Europe. There’s simply so much to see, and the beaches and lakes are a must for relaxation. I honestly can’t pick just one spot that appeals to me the most, which is why a road trip is the ideal choice.

1. Your tour can start from the Curonian Spit, a landform featuring a dune and forest landscape with some of Europe’s highest dunes. Given the many kilometers, you’ll need to make the right choices to see the most important heritage sites. The Tatra Mountains are a national park that’s off the main route but truly beautiful to see or for rafting.

2. If you love palaces and castles, then Prague Castle is a must-see. Prague Castle forms one of the largest enclosed palace complexes in the world. Its frontage alone is half a kilometer long. The castle is the largest castle in the world, with an area of 7.5 hectares.

3. Relaxing during a road trip is, of course, very important, and you’ll find just that on Margaret Island in Hungary. Margaret Island is free of motorized traffic, apart from buses, taxis, and tourist carriages. There are no permanent residents on the island; instead, it’s a large city park featuring several spa hotels, swimming pools, gardens, and an open-air theater (Szabadtéri Színpad). Besides a water tower (Margitszigeti víztorony), you’ll find the ruins of the Dominican convent and the remaining vestiges of two churches, the Dominican Church and St. Michael’s Church. The centenary monument (Centenáriumi emlékmű) commemorates the 1873 unification of Buda, Pest, and Óbuda.

4. When traveling with a group or kids, it’s essential to make time for fun, and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Aquapark Tatralandia, with its numerous slides and attractions. This theme park is an excellent place to keep the app handy for all the entrance and event tickets you’ll need. They offer so much that you can make reservations during your road trip, ensuring you avoid long queues upon arrival and don’t miss any events.
5. The Vatican of the East. Saint Petersburg is one of the largest art and cultural history museums in the world. To soak in antiquity, this city is definitely worth a visit. As for the museum, it contains a collection of archaeological finds and art that you can’t admire in just one day; you’ll easily spend three days there.
6. Nesebar is a quintessential piece of the Balkans; even by the beach, you’ll find Byzantine ruins in this ancient Bulgarian city. If you’re more into watersports, then the seaside resort of Sunny Beach (Slantsjev Bryag) on the Black Sea is definitely a must-visit as well. This beach resort is particularly popular among young people due to its relatively affordable drinks, food, and vibrant nightlife. It offers a lively atmosphere without the hefty price tags often found in other European party destinations, making it an ideal choice for those looking to have fun on a budget.

7. From saltwater to freshwater, Lake Balaton is the lake par excellence. Just outside Budapest (25km), this lake is surrounded by national parks, resorts, beaches, and numerous sights. When it comes to water sports, they are on par with the rest of Europe. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast and not too tired from your road trip, a hike through the breathtaking Tihany is definitely for you.

8. Well, a paradise on your trip certainly can’t be missed: the Rock City in Bohemian Paradise, Czech Republic. Mainly climbers visit this place, but even if you’re not a climber, this is simply a spot where you absolutely must stop to see it. Specifically, you absolutely cannot miss the underground caves of Bozkov. Tip: It’s only 7 degrees Celsius underground all year round, so you’ll need a warm blanket, hat, or jacket! And you can conveniently purchase these exact items through the same webshop where you bought your entrance tickets. It’s never been made easier for you than this.

9. If you drive back towards central Europe, it will certainly take you through the Bialowieza Forest in Poland. Check the website to see if a guide or local can be found to take you through the strictly protected area to look for native animals.

10. Pripyat National Park, Belarus
Even while writing about a road trip, it’s easy to forget about the other surrounding countries like Serbia, Romania, and North Macedonia. But as I said, this is a road trip with a lot of (writing) kilometers! Lastly, I can’t leave out Pripyat National Park in Belarus, known for its incredible flora and fauna. If you want to see the lives of 51 mammal species, these forests are the place to be. For instance, Turaŭ is a city with a historic center dating back to the Middle Ages and is one of the oldest Slavic cities.
