🔎 EXCERPT 🔎
10th – Prague, Czech Republic
The Vrtba Gardens in Prague
I bet most of you thought the Czech capital would have a much higher place in this ranking, due to its fairy-tale old town, the well-conserved Prague Castle, and the spectacularly beautiful Charles Bridge, right?
While it is unnecessary to explain why Prague is in this top 10, I think I must explain why it is not in a higher position.
And the thing is: for me, Prague was a disappointment for many reasons, from the scammers and excessive number of tourist traps to some “attractions” trying to rip you off all the time.
We even wrote an article about scams in Europe, and obviously, Prague was mentioned. Tip: avoid money exchange houses anywhere close to the old town and the astronomical clock.
9th – Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana, Slovenia, one of the best cities in Eastern Europe to visit
The Slovenian capital is a lovely city, sorrounded by mountains, and a hill where you can find a cool medieval military fortress at the top.
The main attraction of Ljubljana however is the city itself. There are some waterways cutting the place that give some Venice feelings but without the crowds of tourists. The Baroque architecture adds to this Italian feeling, which is curious considering that Slovenia is actually a Slavic nation.
They also have nice food and surprisingly nice people.
Honestly, the worst part of Ljubljana is the name of the city itself, hard to pronounce and even harder to write.
8th – Warsaw, Poland
Photo I took during a sunny day in Warsaw, Poland
The Polish capital was almost completely destroyed during II World-War, so one could ask why I still put it here in this ranking.
The reason is that I am a history buff, and Warsaw has more history than you can imagine.
One of the best museums I visited in my entire life is the Warsaw Uprising Museum. It is an emotional experience that everyone should have at least one time during their lives.
Their historical town, despite being a reconstruction of the once completely destroyed old district, is lovely, and differently than Prague, there are not many street sellers bothering you everywhere.
Museums like the previously mentioned Warsaw Uprising Museum, the Muzeum Narodowe, the Royal Castle, the Katyn Museum, the Wilanow Palace, and many others would easily be enough to put Warsaw on this list. They even have a vodka Museum!

Baroque architecture in Ljubljana is curious in nothing. Western slavic nations and partly southern slavic nations were under influence of Roman Catholic Church, Protestants, The Holy Roman Empire, Austrian-Hungarian Empire and Germany for century. This is the reason why called half of the Europe "Eastern Europe" is ignorance. Even though, Stalin torn Europe apart by Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain half of Europe he usurped, has never been truly Land of Moscow.
