We Know Which Eastern European Country You Should Visit Based On These 3 Questions

Last Updated on April 18, 2024 by Adam Watts

We’re trying something new. It’s the 21st century and people don’t like to read. So we’re trying a quiz, and we’re going to tell you which Eastern European country you should visit based on what you like to do with your vacations.

Disclaimer: we accept no legal responsibility if you go to the place we recommend and you don’t have the most amazing time.

Eastern Europe is a big place and it’s still mostly off the radar of most tourists but it has a lot of hidden gems. I’ve been to a lot of these places and I’ve heard many good things about all the others that will be recommended below.

Good luck, stay safe, and hopefully when you visit your Eastern European country, it doesn’t turn into a Hostel-esque kidnapping situation. (No, but seriously, Eastern Europe has some beautiful places and I’ve never felt anything other than completely safe!)

I hope you’re happy with the results you got or at least it encourages you to plan a trip to a place you’re not familiar with.

What is Considered Eastern Europe?

“Eastern Europe” as a term can mean a lot of different things to different people. For the sake of doing something official, the UN considers these 23 countries as their Eastern European Group: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine.

I’d say that’s too broad and also illogical — how can you say Czechia is part of eastern Europe when it’s pretty much in the middle of Europe? Czechia should be considered central Europe.

And Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are European culturally, but aren’t technically in Europe, so I’d say they should be categorized in their own Caucasus group.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania should be considered as part of the Baltic countries.

Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia can all just be considered Balkan countries (maybe with parts of Greece and Turkey if you’re feeling generous).

I could go on, but suffice to say: “Eastern Europe” doesn’t have a strict definition.
