Welcome to Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe offers an captivating journey through a region rich in history, diverse cultures, and often, incredible value. From the fairytale castles of Bohemia and the vibrant street art of Berlin, to the thermal baths of Budapest and the ancient charm of Krakow, this part of the continent promises a unique blend of experiences. It's a land where centuries-old traditions meet modern dynamism, inviting UK travellers to explore charming old towns, dramatic landscapes, and lively cities, all while discovering a warm hospitality and a fascinating past that shaped much of Europe.
What to expect
Climate
Eastern Europe generally experiences a humid continental climate, with four distinct seasons. Summers are typically warm to hot, and often humid with thunderstorms, while winters are cold and can be very snowy, especially further inland and north. Spring and autumn offer milder, pleasant temperatures.
Transport & Accessibility
Transport networks are extensive, including trains and buses connecting cities, though quality can vary. Major cities often have efficient public transport, including trams and metros, which are steadily improving their accessibility features. However, cobblestone streets and older infrastructure in historic centres can still pose challenges for mobility.
Safety & Health
Eastern Europe is largely safe for tourists, with crime rates generally lower than in Western Europe, though petty theft like pickpocketing occurs in crowded areas. Healthcare standards are good in major cities and private clinics. Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended, and always be aware of your surroundings, especially in less-developed or remote regions.
