Guidelines For Eastern Europe This Summer

I would normally get started a post about a Rick Steves article by poking exciting at his get-off-the-beaten-path-by-taking-my-tour-or-acquiring-my-guide mantra, then dissuading you from taking any of his guidance, but I’ve acquired to admit, the man does know Europe, so consider this upcoming bit with a grain of salt. Here’s what Rick’s dug up for new sights to verify out this summertime while you’re traveling about Eastern Europe.

one) Budapest: Downtown’s gone website traffic-free, a truth I haven’t been able to verify outside of Rick’s article, but if correct I think it’s a excellent notion a single that need to be applied to rather much every single city in the planet.

two) Bratislava: No longer a joke for teen intercourse comedy flicks (I definitely hope Google does not select up that last sentence). Rick’s calling the Slovak capital the following Berlin (and right here I though that was going to Kiev). Exciting observation, unquestionably well worth checking that 1 out.

3) Athens: Still upgrading with out an Olympics on the horizon. On June 20, 2009, the 130 million euro new Acropolis Museum will be opening up at the foot of the Acropolis, housing over four,000 artifacts, which includes for the very first time ever, all surviving treasures of the Acropolis with each other for the initial time in a single place given that, effectively, they were originally plundered from the Acropolis.
