Budapest

Stretching across both banks of the Danube, Budapest has witnessed countless historical turning points, from its golden age at the end of the 19th century to the difficult years of the Second World War and the Soviet era. Today, Hungary’s capital is a beloved destination for travellers drawn to its Eastern European atmosphere, its famous natural thermal baths, and an architectural heritage that reflects every chapter of its dramatic past.

Prague

Set on the banks of the Vltava in the heart of Europe, Prague’s history stretches back more than a thousand years. A key city in the Habsburg and Austro-Hungarian empires, it survived world wars and communism and today remains a vibrant capital of 1.3 million people. With centuries of layered architecture and a spirit that never stops evolving, Prague is a city that truly rewards exploration.

Bucharest

Romania’s capital and cultural centre, Bucharest is famous for its many theatres, museums and vibrant art and music scene. The city has passed through several major historical periods, Ottoman rule, the communist regime, and finally the transition to a democratic republic. These influences are reflected in its varied architecture, creating a fascinating cityscape of contrasts and character.

Bratislava

Slovakia’s capital sits beautifully on the banks of the Danube and has far more to offer than most people realise. Visit the charming old town, the futuristic UFO Bridge, the magnificent Blue Church, discover original street art and delve into a history that spans centuries. Bratislava is compact, characterful and full of unexpected beauty, one of Europe’s most delightful surprises.

Sofia

Bulgaria’s capital sits at the foot of Mount Vitosha and possesses a rich history stretching back to at least 7000 BC. With vestiges from the Roman and Ottoman periods still visible today, Sofia is the country’s main economic centre, a modern, dynamic city full of attractions and cultural institutions waiting to be discovered.

Tirana

Albania’s dynamic capital has seen it all, ancient trade routes, Ottoman influences, communist isolation and an explosion of modern renewal. Today, Tirana is full of contrasts: bunkers transformed into museums, centuries-old monuments standing beside bold modern architecture, and a medieval castle that now houses cafés and artisan shops within its ancient walls. A city that defies expectations.

Zagreb

Croatia’s vibrant capital, where the grandeur of King Tomislav Square meets the lively energy of Tkalčićeva Street. Zagreb reflects a unique blend of history and contemporary charm, from the echoes of the past in its old streets to the creative pulse of its modern art galleries. A city that offers a wonderful variety of experiences and invites you to follow your curiosity wherever it leads.

Dubrovnik

The Pearl of the Adriatic, where history pulses through every stone. Travel through Dubrovnik’s past, feel the city’s vibrant energy and take in spectacular views of the Croatian coastline.
