Advice on travelling to Central Europe

Organ!sedChaos

This summer, I'm planning to travel around central/eastern europe. I would be very grateful if anyone could offer me suggestions or 'must-see' places. Any tips or advice would also be greatly appreciated.

I would like to see Prague, Poland and Germany - budget permitting. As a student, I would like to keep the costs relativley low lol.

Thanks, Steven

Wroclaw, Lubin, Cesky Krumlov, Prauge, Berlin, Munich are recommended places to visit in Poland, Czech and Germany. As Berlin is closer to Poland & Prague you can choose Berlin as centre point.
As regards to budget accommodations, you can stay in youth hostels are check my signature for budget accommodations (hotels and hostels).

the big german cities (munich, berlin) are quite expensive, hostels are around 20-25 euros/night. places to see? hm, stick to the big cities and capitals. prague is quite nice but i havent been there since 10 years Smile

if you like mountains, nature, friendly locals and budget accommodation then try out the tatra mountains in slovakia, close to the polish border.
(google maps)
there are lots of guesthouses in this area, and you can climb mountains all the day. think i spent some holidays in strbske pleso (no typo, just damm hard to spell names) with my parents when i was a kid.
there are also lots of castles around in this area (if youre into history and museums) and Krakow is just 100km away.
prices and beer is usually pretty good in this area because there are much less visitors than in berlin, london or paris, however you should check the transport in that area before you go. im sure they have a bus or train connection to the next big city, but probably not every hour...

Although it's not on your list, you could base yourself in Bratislava. Relatively cheap, and near to many of the places worth seeing: Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow. It's also not too difficult to get from there to other cities such as Salzburg, Dresden, and Munich

check out the baltics. pretty easy to travel by bus through all 3. riga is only 4 hours from tallinn...you can take a ferry over to finland for a few days if you want to extend your trip into scandanavia. have a good trip wherever you end up

From Krakow you can also travel easily to Wieliczka (where the Medieval salt mine is) and Zakopane (at the foot of Tatras). Wroclaw is surely a place to be considered too!

Ohh, and maybe on the way from Krakow to Berlin (if you wish to visit those two) you can still visit Wroclaw (Breslau)???
A very nice city, ambience similar to Krakow - but a little different.

In my opinion you must visit Spain, and especially my city - Barcelona. Very Happy

Well, the best thing you can do is to book in advance to the hotel in where you wanted to stay. Always remember that the more often you are in larger cities, the easier it will be to get by with English. The further into rural areas you get, the more difficult it will get. But most travelers have no problems getting by using hand gestures and such.

well I would reccomend you to get an Eurorail pass and then you can travel in nearly every European Country. Just make sure not to travel in the main season to keep costs low.

There are some more places to visit in Germany, Poland and Czech, if interested check Traveling Europe (signature) for more information about the country
