Additional details
Who will enjoy traveling in Eastern Europe?
Each Eastern European country has something to offer every traveler regardless of age or mobility level. A traveler looking forward to lots of physical activity can delight in the abundance of natural wonders present in Eastern Europe’s diverse ecosystem. Go hiking through one of the many national parks, do water sports along the southern coast, or explore ancient underground caves.
For a more relaxed visit, take in the traditional squares central to many major cities, and enjoy the unique culinary landscape of each country. The culturally minded can soak in the ancient history of the dozens of churches and cathedrals across the region. No matter your vision, Eastern Europe has something for you.
When is the best time to visit Eastern Europe?
Eastern Europe’s tourism season is from May through September, with July and August being the peak months. For a summer visit that avoids the largest of the crowds, plan to visit in May or June. Travelers may also want to visit in September or October, although the weather will be cooler and the hours of attractions may be limited.
Be sure to check the hours of your top attractions before planning a trip in the off-season. The winter months are, of course, the best for snow sports, but areas outside of mountain ranges tend to shut down for the season so don’t plan your visit for the winter if you won’t be doing winter sports.
Common Eastern Europe Tour Routes
Eastern European tours range from multi-week tours that travel to most of the countries in the region, to shorter tours that focus on just a couple countries. Spend a month traveling all the way from Greece to Amsterdam along an Eastern European route, spend two weeks exploring Croatia and Slovenia, or spend a week just discovering Albania.
Many travelers choose to cruise down the Danube River in order to visit eight Eastern European countries it travels through without straying from one route. Eastern European tours often stick to one region such as the Balkans or the Baltics, so it is helpful to decide which regions you would like to visit while choosing your tour.
Is Eastern Europe Safe?
Eastern Europe is as safe as most developed countries. If you use good judgement while traveling, you won’t likely find yourself in a dangerous situation. Some common sense tips include keeping your valuables close, don’t pay bribes to government officials, stay on established hiking paths, and only ride in taxis with working meters.
