Save some days from Bratislava (you can make it in 2 or 3) and go to Krakow

Maybe even do Vienna instead of Bratislava. Or just spend only spend one night in Bratislava, it's worth a visit but there isn't a huge amount to see. Wander about the old town, eat some Halušky (definitely do this), drink some excellent cheap beer.

You wouldn't call it Eastern Europe I guess but Vienna is really worth a visit, especially if you like museums and galleries (go to the imperial burial crypt for sure). It's a stunning city (maybe my favourite in Europe) and the night life is pretty good too.

I would also try to avoid Bratislava on the weekend, it's a lot more chill before the 500 English stag dos descend on the place.

Go to the Balkans. totally underrated. its by far my favourite place in europe. Hit up western serbia and Bosnia especially.

not OP but I have a question...
assuming you're American or not from Europe at least, when you land at your port of entry and go through immigration, do you have return ticket to show them? If not do you show them your passage on from that particular country? is that good enough?
I was travelling through England for a awhile this Jan/Feb/, was gonna be there for nearly two months and had a return ticket back to the states. Landed at Heathrow and the immigration officer was giving me a hard time, I thought the return ticket would be enough but evidently not. Ended up getting through but was pretty stressful. It makes me wonder how much in the shit I'd be for not having a return and only an easyjet booked to paris or berlin or something would fuck me over.
How do yall do organize it? Is this a Heathrow/UK thing? I've flown into a few other big cities in Europe and the customs ppl didnt give two shits.

Russia, Ukraine, Belarus.

Because they're actually in Eastern Europe as opposed to those that you've mentioned REEEEEEE and so on and so on

But, if you go to Vienna from Prague, do Prague-Bratislava-Vienna, it's cheaper

Bumping for interest, planning the same route this summer.

For how long will you be travelling OP?
