I'm planning to go to Europe (mostly Eastern + Germany) this summer with some coworkers for about 3 weeks. We're trying to come up with some cities to see. So far the ideas are:

Prague, Czech Republic
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Krakow, Poland

What places in Europe would you want to see if you had three weeks and why? Thanks!

Budapest is a very nice city. So is Gdańsk.

If you're in Berlin, Szczecin is a short train ride northeast. It's been ten years but I spent a very interesting week there before having a summer vacation further up on the coast. Obviously, though, Krakow is the place to see in Poland, but I'd check out the smaller cities along the way.

Steer clear of Prague. While fabulous, if you missed it ten years ago, it's too late now. There are plenty of great places in Eastern Europe other than tourism ground zero.

I live between Dubai and Prague. Prague is very touristy, but is a beautiful city at least in the old parts where they keep the graffiti and dog crap at bay.

Some other places you might consider visiting are Piran (Slovenia), Pecs (Hungary), Gdansk (Poland), Vilnius (Lithuania)

Be aware that the Czech Crown is very strong which makes Prague rather expensive.
