Empires of the Lower Danube

Summary

Uncover the best-kept secrets of Europe on a cultural expedition through Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia, three diverse nations at the heart of a region prized by the greatest empires in European history. The Ancient Romans. The Habsburgs. The Ottomans. Each immortalized through the kaleidoscope of architecture, language, art, and cuisines their modern-day counterparts inherited. Tucked away from the larger tourism hotspots of Western Europe, the destinations along this route have kept their authentic charm and breathtaking landscapes.
