Italian cities are certaintly worth a look - I have been to Venice and Firenze, and both were very beautiful and full of well-preserved old buildings.

(Assuming it is culture, history and architecture you are looking for:P)

Otherwise Copenhagen has a reputation for great night life.

Prague is out. It's packed with tourists, prices have skyrocketed, and it's just too commercial. Instead, I would suggest Slovenia, and then down the coast of Croatia to Dubrovnik.

That's my plan for next summer.

Prague is great if you like tacky knocking shops and lots of Brits vomiting everywhere.

I've heard a few good things about Krackov (Poland) or Sofia (Bulgaria) but Prague's days as a must see, unspoiled bit of Europe are gone.

Unless of course, you like cheap whores and the smell of puke. Well, it takes all sorts to make a world...

New Europe is the term Rumsfeld coined when he referred to our allies in Eastern Europe that backed us in Iraq

I was thinking Eastern Europe because it's an unknown area that I don't have any preconceived notions about it, and also it might be alot cheaper since the dollar is getting it's ass kicked right now.

Har har har. Most of them use Euros to so you still have exchange problems however prices will still be lower then western Europe but no where near as low as the mid to late 90's.

Rumania, Bulgaria, Former Yugoslavia (other then slovinia), bulgaria, and all of the non baltic state former USSR still use local curriencies but the rest of new Europe is in the single currency.

Personally, I'm going to miss the days of the late 90's when I went wondering around Europe with guilders, lira, pounds, & D-Marks in my pockets.

There's been a similar thread once. This time, I will write less. But in Poland, it could be Gdansk (Danzig), which I find perhaps the nicest Polish city, Wroclaw (Breslau), Poznan (Posen), Krakow, Gniezno, Plock, Wieliczka perhaps, Malbork - one of the biggest and nicest castles in Europe, Jasna Gora in Czestochowa, Warsaw which is generally an ugly city, but has some nic`e and very nice places, Puszcza Bialowieska which is the only completely natural forest in Europe left, and some more.
I haven't been to many places I;ve heard they are nice...
Like there's a very nice castle in Brzeg which I've always wanted to see...
Unfortunatelly, a lot of places were destroyed during the war, too And many are in a bad state.
Of course, I feel obliged to advertise my hometown, Gliwice. It's a nicest city of Upper Silesian conurbation, but well, that's not any big competition.
Nothing of world importance, perhaps except for the biggest wooden construction in Europe, former radiostation tower, where the ww2 started.

In Czech RP it's Prague, and perhaps Kutna Hora close to it - there's a chapel made of sceletons there. there is at least one similar in Poland as well, but I don't recall where.
As in Poland, there are surely other interesting places. Karlove Vary (Karlsbad) perhaps... But nothing astounding.

In Slovakia, I've heard Lubowla is nice. Bratyslawa, as long as I remember, is not. Slovakian cities I didn't like, but I've only been to some in the northern part, perhaps it's different in the south.
The mountains are nice, but the slopes are not well prepared, at least they weren't when I used to ski there, and I used to ski there many times.

I didn't like Budapest very much except for the parliament, unfortunatelly.

Poland is evil. First of all that's where the pope and the bushlovers comes from, and secondly it's where one of my best friends found out that he had a brain tumor (in Krakow!)
Luckily he seems to be okay so I'll visit him anyway, probably delayed till next year tho

Good choice Ted.

Prague is awesome. I hope to see Krakow this summer.

There are plenty of ways to get from Prague to Krakow too. Actually I just read about someone who took the overnight train. Its a good way to maximize site seeing time and also makes for one less night you have to pay for a hotel room vs travelling by day.

You probably know this but Auschwitz is just outside of Krakow.

Ignore Oerdin for a bit. None of the new memberstates use Euros yet, though they will begin to in a few years time. As far as I know, they currencies are all still freely floating or possibly in bands around the euro.

Personally, I want to visit Budapest. Loooks loooovely.
