The Plitvice Lakes

If you like nature, then the Plitvice Lakes is one of the most beautiful things to see in all of Europe.

It is located inside a huge National Park in Croatia comprising of sixteen different lakes, set on a series of terraces through which waterfalls flow down into the next lake.

Split

Though the most famous of the Croatian cities is Dubrovnik, Split has more than enough to offer and has the added benefit of being a whole lot less touristy.  In addition to that, it has the distinction of featuring one of the most fascinating places in the whole country, the old Summer Palace of the Roman Emperor, Diocletian.

Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia is often overlooked in favor of its more famous counterparts, Budapest and Prague. However, the center of the town is absolutely gorgeous and offers a unique insight into the beautiful country it is situated in.

Lake Bled

Slovenia is often called ‘Little Switzerland’, but the beauty of the country is completely unique, especially when considering Lake Bled, which really is picture-perfect. Surrounded on all sides by mountains and forest, the lake itself has famously clear waters and is perfectly blue.

Kutna Hora

The slightly morbid nature of the Kutna Hora bone chapel shouldn’t put people off from visiting. Located less than a day’s travel out of Prague, the chapel was originally built in the 13th century.

Prague

Though Prague is justly famous for its gorgeous architecture and frankly rather bloody history, involving several executed nobles and many more Christian martyrs, one of the most exciting things about the city is the myriad of pubs they have there.

Budapest

Though Budapest is full of fascinating places to go and visit, the most unique of these has to be the ruin bars that are popping up throughout the city.

Hvar

The Croatian coastline, and indeed the islands scattered along with it, are beautiful, and very much worth visiting, as is its largest island, Hvar. The scenery is the Mediterranean, with an abundance of cedar trees, heather, and white stone, surrounded by an azure sea.
