AN ARCHITECTURAL MOSAIC

Nestled on a bend of the Danube in northwestern Bulgaria, the ancient city of Vidin is an eclectic mix of architectural styles reflecting its rich history. This hub of agriculture and trade sits atop a 3rd-century BC Celtic settlement that eventually became part of the Roman and Ottoman empires. Among its attractions is the 17th-century St. Panteleimon Church, home to magnificent frescoes, and the Baba Vida Fortress overlooking the Danube. It's the largest fully preserved medieval castle in Bulgaria

THE HERO TOWN

Streets lined with elegant mansions, art galleries and museums are difficult to envision today, as the siege of 1991 - when Croatian civilians faced off with a heavily armed Serbian army - dramatically altered this once-pretty town. Vukovar's story is heartbreaking yet inspirational, and while scars still show on buildings, the Castle Eltz and Vucedol Culture Museum are returning the city's cultural sheen.

LIVING MEDIEVAL HISTORY

Tales of history here are often bookended by two events—the Battle of Mohács of 1526 and the Battle of Mohács of 1687. Beyond the memorials, museums and authentic reenactments of these milestones, there is a unique playfulness here. Experience the vast grasslands, as well as Hungary's other renowned features: paprika and horses. Hungarian equestrians have a tradition of taming the wild horses of the Great Plain and are proud to display great feats of horsemanship.
