Even though tourism has been gaining popularity in recent years, the majority of countries in Eastern Europe are still considered to be mostly undiscovered destinations.
Which is too bad, because there are so many cool things to do, see, and eat across this region! I’ve traveled extensively through most of the countries listed here and many of them, like Georgia and Hungary, have made it to my list of favorite countries.
Many people might hesitate to travel to Eastern Europe because they see it as an unknown land full of bears with vodka playing the balalaika hundreds of years of stormy history, with a language different from their own, all wrapped up into Soviet-style gray buildings.
But nope! If you do venture out to Eastern Europe, you’ll be met with friendly locals who will curiously ask why you’ve traveled so far to their home country, delicious food, beautiful architecture, and budget-friendly prices. That’s not so bad, isn’t it? ;)
