The ultimate introduction to the beauty of Central and Eastern Europe, brought to you by Eastpackers in collaboration with Dutch travel influencer Luke Patrick Hoogmoed (@lukepatrickh).
This is the ultimate backpackers introduction to the beauty of Central and Eastern Europe, brought to you by Instagram influencer Luke Hoogmoed and Eastpackers. During nine fun filled days, you will explore four major cities in Czechia and Slovakia, as well as the beautiful nature of the Moravian Karst and the High Tatry mountains. And the best news: this trip won't cost you a fortune. Luke and Eastpackers will gladly demonstrate the extraordinary value for money that this region has to offer.
Our Taste of Eastern Europe kicks off in Prague, easily one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Despite four decades of communist oppression in the 20th century, the capital of Czechia has lost little of its irresistable charm. Sure, this is no secret on Europe's backpacking track anymore, but Luke and Eastpackers will do their best to show some vibrant neighbourhoods off the beaten track, such as gritty Karlin, known for its many bars and restaurants, and historical Vysehrad, a former fortress rivalling the famous Prague Castle for its views over the mighty Vltava river.
After Prague, we will continue our journey to Czechia's lesser known sights, among which the lively student town Brno and the beautiful region of caves, canyons and sinkholes surrounding it. Just across the border, Slovakia's capital Bratislava is undeservedly undervalued, which we will prove during two fun filled nights in the city's old town and along the riverside, filled with summer bars. A few miles to the north of the city, a lovely castle and a mysterious abandoned missile base await exploration.
Perhaps the greatest draw of Slovakia is however its fabulous nature. The High Tatry are the smallest mountain range in Central Europe, yet perhaps the most beautiful. The soaring peaks, pristine mountain lakes and epic hiking trails offer one of Europe's best nature experiences. We will make highly rewarding (but not too difficult) hikes before finishing our trip in Kosice, Slovakia's second city and perhaps its most beautiful one.
Throughout the journey, Eastpackers and Luke Hoogmoed will share their passion for these relatively unexplored lands through personal stories and deep insights into the history and culture of Czechia and Slovakia. Moreover, we will demonstrate that traveling doesn't need to be expensive. We will offer the full package of experiences, overnight stays and transport from just € 799. However, you will have to be quick, as only 20 people will be able to join in this once-in-a-lifetime group adventure.
