Eastern European city breaks

[H block]

I want to get away in the next couple of months for a 3/4 day break anywhere in eastern Europe. Any recommendations ?
I`ve done Budapest, Krakow, Prague and Tallinn so do not want to go back to any of them - nice as they were.
Any input on Ljubljana or Bratislava ?
Many thanks in advance NSC.

Ljubljana and Bratislava are both lovely cities. Not quite on the grand scale of a Budapest or a Prague, but more friendly manageable and intimate - they're both small enough to walk around. Probably Ljubljana just edges it for me, but it's a close call.

Brat is ok but old town a bit small. Lub did nothing for me. Sarajevo is fantastic and well worth a visit.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Lviv, Ukraine

or and Poznan and Wroclaw are good places to go.

I would recommend where i live, Brno. 40 quid for flights, 80p a beer, good for a few nights and could stay in a really nice hotel for 35 quid a night. My mates that come over like Brno mare than Prague. Also, Bratislava is a day trip away and also Vienna is just over an hr away so you can visit there too.

Brno's nice and not a bad choice if you have mobility

Bus to Vienna is just under 7 quid return and a train to Prague is abot just over 10 quid return.

Where are you getting £40 flights and i thought it was from Stanstead only ?

Would agree with this. There's probably enough to do for a day but that's about all. Don't expect anything on the scale of Prague.

A plus is that you can hop on the boat or train for a lovely trip to Vienna!

Stanstead and Luton. Or you can fly into Vienna, Prague or Bratislava and get here on the bus.

Ljubljana's a nice little city. It also has the benefit of being very close to the Julian Alps- when I was there we took a day trip into the mountains to go white water rafting.

Still think Sarajevo's the place:

I was about to recommend Brno too, but I see I've been beaten to it at least twice!

Yeah, might be a little close for a good deal. Will still save the money when being here.
