Bucharest
It is the capital of Romania, a place rich in history. The term Bucharest derives from bucura which means to be happy. What fascinates the city is the architecture made up of streets and boulevards reminiscent of Paris. In addition, one of the most beautiful monuments of the city is the Arc de Triomphe which makes the city take the name of ” Little Paris “. Bucharest boasts 37 museums, 22 theaters, 2 opera houses, 3 auditoriums, numerous public libraries, bookstores and typical cafes. Among the monuments not to be missed is the Curtea Veche, the old princely court of the fifteenth century.
One of the best known art places is the National Art Museum which houses works by Romanian artists such as Brancusi, Grigorescu, Aman, Luchian, Palladi, Ion Jalea while the main European artists are Rubens, Rembrandt, Veneziano, Tiziano, Tintoretto , El Greco, Pissaro, Delacroix, Sisley.

Belgrade
Belgradederives from the term Beli Grad, that is White City and today, after so many vicissitudes related to war and dictatorship, it wants to go back to being a lively city, both from a cultural point of view and as an entertainment. In fact, the new generations are rebuilding a new city from the ground up, more open to innovation and change. Innovation blends perfectly with tradition, between markets and modern cafes, between new and old neighborhoods. In Knez Mihailova, the entirely pedestrianized main street, you can access the Zepter Museum with its sculptures, drawings and canvases by Serbian artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. The lively and creative heart of the city is Dorcol, the most cosmopolitan neighborhood, where Jews and Muslims coexist with Germans, Armenians and Greeks. It is the neighborhood that never sleeps and full of life with its lounges and wine bars that transform to the rhythm of techno music. If you want to taste the typical cuisine, you cannot miss the cevapcici (rolls of mixed and spiced minced meat), soups, stuffed peppers and grilled meats. An elaborate dish is karadjordjeva snicla, prepared with stewed veal, cheese, ham and fries, while the drink to taste is slivovitz, a brandy made from the fermentation of plums.
To find out the cheapest flights we rely on Google Flights while for hotels we can only take a look at Booking, looking for accommodation, perhaps near the center and that is not too expensive. Belgrade is a city where accommodation is still very cheap (a 5 * can have an average price of around 90 euros per night).
Prague
Pragueand by far one of my favorite cities. In fact I have been there 2 times and I always go back willingly.

It is one of the largest complexes in the world and consists of historic, official and ecclesiastical palaces, fortifications, gardens and picturesque places. It covers an area of 45 hectares.
