Which trip type is right for you?

Essential: Room with 3+ other travelers in conveniently located hostels. For social butterflies who thrive on meeting other people.

Plus: Stay with just one other person in 3- or 4-star hotels. Perfect for couples or anyone who enjoys recharging in their own space.

Why go?

10/10 history buffs agree: the best fuel for a deep dive into the cultures of Eastern Europe is a stream of sausages and Pilsners. So fuel up, ‘cause you’ll be immersed in classical culture, WWII remembrance, and awe-inspiring architecture on this off-the-beaten-path adventure.
