Best cities to meet between Bucharest and Zagreb

  1. 1. Belgrade, Serbia (BEG)

    459 km / 347 km

    A confluence-city capital with a famously late-running nightlife scene, and the Balkans' central transport hub.

  2. 2. Budapest, Hungary (BUD)

    617 km / 308 km

    A grand, thermal-bath capital split by the Danube, and a common Central European meeting point.

  3. 3. Dubrovnik, Croatia (DBV)

    669 km / 395 km

    A walled Adriatic city so photogenic it's become a filming location in its own right, and Croatia's most visited coastal spot.

  4. 4. Sofia, Bulgaria (SOF)

    301 km / 676 km

    A mountain-backed Balkan capital, and one of the least expensive meeting points in the EU.

  5. 5. Krakow, Poland (KRK)

    775 km / 556 km

    Poland's former royal capital, and one of the few Central European old towns to escape WWII largely intact.

  6. 6. Bratislava, Slovakia (BTS)

    790 km / 284 km

    A small, castle-topped Danube capital, and a quick add-on to a Vienna trip barely an hour away.
