The Balkans

The Balkans offers a melting-pot of cultures and landscapes, with something for every traveller no matter their taste!

Croatia boasts vibrant cities like Split and Zagreb, historical hotspots like Dubrovnik and sleepy towns like Korcula; while a visit to Slovenia is a nature-lovers' dream, with exquisite lakes, mountains and its fairytale capital Ljubljana.

Famed for its stunning art nouveau architecture and hot springs, Budapest in Hungary is another top destination, whilst travellers heading to Romania can marvel at the Carpathian Mountains, Transylvanian towns and its unique capital, Bucharest.
