Extend Your Vacation:
  • Once a representation of the Cold War and now the face of the rebirth of Eastern Europe, Berlin's rich history can be seen throughout the city's many iconic landmarks, including Brandenburg Gate, pictured here.
  • You'll have ample time to soak in the charms of Prague—known as the "City of a Thousand Spires"—with your fellow travelers.
  • Painstakingly rebuilt after World War II, the Old Town Market Place in Warsaw has been restored to its original glory and is now an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • You'll have the opportunity to tour the ominous remains of Auschwitz, among the most notorious Nazi concentration camps.
  • As you explore Hungary's capital—situated on both sides of the Danube River—perhaps you'll enjoy Budapest's magnificent views from atop Fisherman’s Bastion in the city's Castle Hill district.

Trip at a Glance

Smaller Groups of Just 32-38 Travelers, Guaranteed

When you travel to Eastern Europe, you’ll peer behind the former Iron Curtain to find a region and people who are an integral part of contemporary European life. This is a vibrant world with its own deeply ingrained character and a 2,000-year-old cultural heritage that bridges the gap between the East and West. And when you discover Eastern Europe with Grand Circle in 2012, you'll enjoy several new enhancements, including an extra night in Krakow, an added included dinner in Warsaw, and a scenic Danube River cruise in Budapest—in addition to a host of rare opportunities for you to meet the people where they live, work, and play. Dine in the home of a Polish family, meet with a Holocaust survivor, and learn about Hungary’s political past and present during a discussion with a university professor.
