Not to mention the restaurants, cafes and bars, the nightlife, the cultural traditions and the largest and most colourful street market in the whole of Eastern Europe – a jovial scene of lively bartering, endless stalls and a bustling crowd of local buyers, buskers and street musicians.

Plus any number of fascinating small towns rich in local folklore, just waiting to be discovered.
