Hello,
I will be travelling to some Eastern Europe countries end of November for 5 weeks on a shoe string budget. I know its not the best of time, but that is the only time that I can get long holidays. Plz advise me on the cheapest mode of transportation (bus / train) to the following destinations - fare, duration of the journey & if there is any online booking or night travelling (to save on accomodation). Plz gv me the link in english version, else I wont udstand anything...If the list below isn't possible and I nd to split the journey, plz help me out.
Prague - Brno
Brno - Cesky Tesin
Cieszyn - Krakow
Krakow - Zakopane
Zakopane - Poprad (both are in the High Tatras region, so is it worth seeing both or one is enough)?
Long distance Poprad - Cluj Napoca or is it possible to do Sighisoara straight away as Sighi is more interesting than Cluj?
Cluj / Sighi - Brasov
Brasov - Sibiu (Can I finish seeing both in 1 day)?
Long distance Sibiu - Budapest
Budapest - Pecs
Pecs - Sarajevo
Sarajevo - Mostar
Mostar - Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik - Split
Split - Plitvice Lake
Plitvice Lake - Zagreb
Zagreb - Vienna

Hi.
Check out the minbus company www.nemethspeed.ro/ for trips between Budapest and Cluj and possibly more Romanian cities. They are fast and cheap.
The main railroad from Budapest to Bucharest stops in Medias about 30km from Sighisoara. From Medias you can take anothewr old and cheap train to Sighi.
Dont miss that city.
The Hungtarian airline Wizzair is also often wery cheap and operates some cities in your area. Its www.wizzair.com
Thanks for the infos. I will check the links :)
Best way is to take the trains. To go around different towns in Romania is very easy, there are plenty of buses and taxi cabs are pretty cheap.
Thanks jerseygirl77...
The best spot to see Cluj-Napoca from above is the 60 m high Fortress Hill (Dealul Cetatuia).
The hill used to be home to an Austrian fortress, dating back to the middle of the 18th century.
Nowadays the hill is dominated by the 4-star Belvedere Hotel and a 26 m tall "Eroilor Neamului" cross.
Directions:
The Fortress Hill is located north of the old town, just across the river Somesul Mic. A stairway leads from the Str. Dragalina up to the top of thr hill.
Like many other countries in Eastern Europe, Romania is a rapidly developing country. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to find a Tourist Information Office or just a free map, therefore an up to date guide book is highly recommended, especially for independent travellers.
On both our trips to Romania in 2007 and 2008 we used the new German travel guide Reise Know-How - Rumänien und Republik Moldau which was very helpful. Unfortunately it is
not available in English.
Another very useful travel guide is Trescher Verlag - Rumänien entdecken . Also this book is, to my knowledge, only available in German, but regarding descriptions of the sights it is the most comprehensive.

In front of the building of the National Theatre stand two statues, created to honouring for two great Romanian bards, which has a very important role into the national literature.
One of those is the Romanian star poet, Mihai Eminescu.
The other is Lucian Blaga, a great, talented poet that was very important for the Romanian people.
The complete artwork of the both poets is a great component of the spiritual capital of Romanians.
It is probably the main square in Cluj.The Catholic church is there,also the Art museum,The Municipalty. People organize there some fairs with stands for eating during holidays.Unfortunately they it was over on my visit.
The construction of the Orthodox Cathedral (Catedralna Ortodoxa) took place between1923 and 1933, just after the union of Transsylvania and Romania.
The 64 m tall cathedral was built in a specific Romanian style with Byzantine influences. The interior is decorated with large colourful murals, which were painted by professors of the local Art Academy.
Directions:
The Orthodox Cathedral is situated in the centre of the Piata Avram Iancu, just opposite to the National Theatre, which can be found at the northern side of the Piata Stefan cel Mare.
