Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is perhaps best known for its beautiful capital, Prague, although it is known for much more, such as its numerous castles and châteaux (over 1,200 of them!). It also has some of the most delicious food and drink in Europe, in particular its wines and famed Pilsner-style beer. The Czech Republic has and had a very long Jewish tradition, which is triumphantly on display after the horrors and loss of World War II in such places as the Great Synagogue in Plzen, the third-largest in the world. Finally, the Czech Republic is known for its museums, educating visitors on everything from history and art to folk arts and crafts and even life in the former Communist Czechoslovakia.
Poland
Poland is a country that offers so many experiences for the traveler, from the cities to the countryside. Warsaw and Krakow are crossroad cities, where history and innovative progress coexist beautifully side-by-side, showcasing the nation's past and future. The Tatra Mountains in the south are a picture-perfect wonderland in the wintertime, and is a popular ski resort area. The Baltic coastline of Pomerania offers respite to crowds in the summer wishing to escape the cities. Historic sites such as castles, palaces, and cathedrals can be found in all corners of Poland -- you really cannot go wrong no matter where you go.
Slovakia
Slovakia is well-known for its impressive collection of historic castles. For such a small country, it has over 100 of them, many of which are situated along the Danube River. The country is also known for its opportunities for hiking and rock-climbing in the Tatra Mountains, located in the east. While in the Tatras, Slovakia's remotest corner, take some time to tour the traditional Slovakian villages, where time has stood still for generations and Slovak culture is lovingly preserved. Then head south to the Tokaj wine region, one of six wine regions in the country, and enjoy some farm-to-table cuisine with your vintages.
Austria
Austria is epitomized by green glacial valleys and snow-capped peaks - and the wooden picture postcard chalets. Nonetheless, visitors have much to explore from the stylish capital, Vienna, to the baroque splendor of Salzburg. Austria's mountain landscape is undoubtedly its biggest draw for tourists. Although a year-round destination, there is a definite seasonal split in visitors. Summer is best for exploring the countryside on the many mountain trails that snake through the Austrian Alps and the lowlands, while the ski season kicks off in December, attracting winter sports fans from all over the world.
Hungary
Perhaps the first thing you think of when you think of Hungary is its delicious cuisine; after all, it is the country that gave us goulash and fisherman`s soup. It is also known the world over for its 1,000-year historical tradition which bred strong folk traditions. Hungary is also known for its spring and summer festivals, its thermal spas, stunning and varied architectural styles befitting `the crossroads of Europe`, and some of the most gorgeous scenery you will find on the continent. Be sure to visit the charming capital of Budapest, split by the Danube, and then travel further afield to Transdanubia and the Great Hungarian Plain.

Krakow
Krakow is one of the oldest cities in Poland and one of the cultural and artistic centers of the country, the former seat of the Polish kings and the former national capital. Among the highlights of the city are the Royal Castle and Cathedral on Wawel Hill; the medieval Old Town with its beautiful Main Square; the 14th-century buildings of the Jagiellonian University; as well as Kazimierz, the historical center of Krakow's Jewish religious and social life.
Explore the Main Square, St. Mary's Basilica, Wawel Cathedral, The Cloth Hall, Planty Park, Kazimierz, Ghetto Heroes Square, Collegium Maius, National Museum, St. Florian's Gate, and so much more. -
Budapest
Two cities in one! Buda on a hill, the historical part of the city and Pest on a plain, its shops and boulevards both separated by the Danube flowing between them and connected by magnificent bridges. Budapest looks its most beautiful at dawn, yet it is also spectacularly appealing at night. With a unique, youthful atmosphere, a world-class classical music scene as well as a pulsating nightlife and an exceptionally rich offering of natural thermal baths, Budapest is one of Europe's most delightful and enjoyable cities.
Visit and explore Buda Hill and the Castle District, Parliament, the Chain Bridge, Heroes' Square, St. Stephen's Basilica, the Opera House, Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion, Gellert Hill, the thermal baths and so much more! -
Bratislava
The capital of Slovakia, Bratislava is the political, cultural and economic center of the country. It is a picturesque city situated on both banks of the Danube. Bratislava Castle dominates the town, and around the castle you find a couple of interesting museums, such as the Museum of Jewish Culture and the Municipal Museum. Opposite is the Blue House, which houses the Exhibition of Arts and Crafts.
Visit St. Martin's Cathedral, Bratislava's Town hall, and the beautiful Slovak National Theatre. -
Vienna
City of music, cafes, waltzes, parks, pastries, and wine - that's Vienna in a nutshell. Vienna doesn't hurry, and, as you saunter through its stately streets, marveling at its Baroque palaces, neither should you. Explore churches filled with statues of golden saints and pink-cheeked cherubs, wander through treasure-packed museums, or while away an afternoon in one of those countless meccas of mocha (the inevitable cafés), you will feel lapped in lashings of rich, delicious, whipped cream - the beloved Schlagobers that garnishes most Viennese pastries.
Explore The Hofburg Palace, Schonbrunn Palace, Staatsoper, Kunsthistorisches Museum, the MuseumsQuartier Complex, St. Stephan's Cathedral, the Belvedere Palace, The Ringstrasse, Parliament, The Prater and so much more! -
Prague
Rows of steeples stacked on onion domes pierce the sky, earning Prague the name 'The City of a Thousand Spires'. Prague has stood the test of time: 1,000 years of art and architecture have collided with power politics and religious conflicts. New shops and restaurants have opened, expanding the city's culinary reach far beyond tradition. The arts and theater are thriving in the 'new' Prague and possess a distinctive Czech flavor. All of this frenetic activity plays well against a stunning backdrop of towering churches and centuries-old bridges and alleyways.
Explore Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock, Wenceslas Square, the Jewish Quarter and so much more!
