Synopsis

After 40 years of isolation from the West, the countries of Eastern Europe are now a popular tourist destination. Yet no traveller can see everything, and few can plan such a trip based exclusively on the experiences of friends. In this book the author uses her knowledge of the region to offer a guide to its artistic, historic and natural treasures, including Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" in Dresden, the elaborately-painted monasteries of Romania - as well as the haunts of the real Dracula - the Jewish ghetto of Prague and the Valley of the Roses in Bulgaria.
