Surprisingly, I would def. visit Serbia and Croatia. Not very many people go there but you will have a blast. The people are very nice, and the beaches in Croatia are great. It is also pretty decently priced for the normal things. Everyone there is pretty relaxed, the cafes are filled by 12 noon, and there is a lot of interesting things to look at. I would also recommend Switz. it is very clean and pretty, but a little on the pricey side. Enjoy your trip!

Krakow and Prague.

Dresden, on your way to Prague.

Krakow and Prague, I agree. But I don't think the ordinary Eurail pass is good for some of eastern europe. I don't know what the Eurolines pass is.

KrakÃ³w is a great place to visit.

Costs are about 1/2 what they are in places like France and Spain on the Euro.

Most things are a short walk from the old market square, so stay near there if you can. As such, the old town it is full of old churches, gorgeous buildings, and a very large and vibrant town square lined with cafes. There are lots of classical music concerts. Visit St. Marys Cathedral and the other great churches in the old town. Walk up to Wawel hill and visit the Royal Cathedral and Palace. Take day trips to OÅ›wiÄ™cim (Auschwitz) and to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, and perhaps to the Eagle-nest Castles in the mountains. Visit the Museums.

The most striking thing I remember from KrakÃ³w is the KrakÃ³w Hourly Trumpet Signal

Every hour a golden trumpet shows above KrakÃ³w's central Grand Square in the west window just below the spire of the higher, municipal tower of the St. Mary's Basilica. Then a characteristic trumpet signal, known and dear to every Pole, played by a live trumpet player, resounds all over the city's Old Town historical district. All of a sudden the melody comes to an abrupt end. The KrakÃ³w signal, or Hejnal Mariacki, dates back to the Middle Ages when it announced the opening and the closing of the city gates. The bugler also played it to alarm his fellow citizens whenever he saw a fire or enemy forces. And the melody's abrupt ending is said to commemorate a bugler shot through his throat by a Tatar archer in 1241.

My advice would be to rent a condo near the market square, inside the Planty. I had one last June, it was great, just a stone's throw from St. Mary's. The market square has several dozen outdoor cafe's, and there are hundreds of restaurants/bars within a block or two.

Drink lots of Zywiec.

Warsaw is worth a few days, for all of the WWII monuments, memorials, and memories, Getto museums and memories, plus the old town. It's a 4 hour train from KrakÃ³w.

Get the Rick Steves DVD on Eastern Europe, which covers these cities, plus others.

Prague is great, you can easily spend a week there.

Prague has the market square, charles bridge, and the castle hill with
St Vitus Cathedral and the palace a short tram ride away, or a longish
walk.

If you get a condo in the right place, you can walk to the major attractions in each city.

Contact me if you want more info.

Slovenia, a true hidden gem by the Adriatic Sea! Especially Portoroz, Bled and the capital city Ljubljana are worth for visiting!

In my opinion, the most important and significant cities in Europe are:

Rome, the eternal city, one of the most important for the western society and culture... You can admire the legacies from all over the historic periods, starting from the Roman Age, through the Medieval Age, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Romantic Age arriving to the Modern Age...

Paris, la ville lumiÃ¨re, the city which gave hospitality to some of the most important revolutions in the human history, starting from the French Revolution, but it also is very important for the culture, walking through its boulevards and quai, you can still feel the artistic atmosphere of the last four centuries...

London, cosmopolitan, heterogeneous, what struck me when I went there was the fact that I felt suddenly at home... Obviously the art and history are not missing in this city...

Berlin, very significant for all us, sons of the XX century, the most tragic one for the mankind...

Moreover, as modern metropolis, they are not lacking in entertainment and modern life...

Bye ^^
