Default Eastern Europe Help

I'm trying to get a basic plan together for a 3-week Eastern European trip. I'll be flying into Munich, and (ideally) out of Krakow. I want to see Bavaria (outside of Munich), Prague, Budapest, Bratislava (optional), Krakow.. and Lviv. I'm trying to travel as geographically efficiently as possible, and my trip would make a nice roundish circle, if it not for Lviv. The only reason I want to end my trip in Krakow is to catch a cheap flight to the UK. If you know of any other places that have cheap flights to the UK then feel free to recommend that. Thanks!

Hi Chad....a great resource I use all the time is www.harefares.com. It lets you choose multiple origin and destination cities and then shows all the cheap airlines that fly those routes. Hope that helps.

http://www.flybudget.com/euvisit6.html is good for seeing which airlines fly which routes. Also check http://www.skyscanner.net/ to browse prices.

That sounds like a really good trip though. Are you going to take the trains between each of those cities?

Hi,

When it comes to Poland I recommend Poland: booking system for hotels, flights and tours. Travel, business and polish culture. site where you can make a hotel reservation and get to know about things to see in Krakow.

Oh I loved Krakow! I did an Eastern Trekker tour last year and it took us through there. Amazing city. We also went to Zakopane which is awesome if you like some extreme sport adventure!

Hey there, I'm doing a very similar trip in a few months time, and through searching around I found that Cluj-Napoca are doing really cheap £23 flights back to London-Luton so that's how I am getting back and it could fit in an almost circular pattern especially with Lviv in mind.

Another plus about flying from Cluj is that it is in the middle of Translyania so surely to see a lot of great cultural sights and I have heard quite a few good things about Cluj too.

kayak .com is another good site for booking flights.

Great area, you are right, you'll have a good time visiting the cultural and historic sites.

Best,
