Tblisi – Georgia<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]I was genuinely impressed by this small capital city at the corner of Europe. It was quirky, elegant, and charming.

Budapest – Hungary<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]This video shows a whirlwind one-day tour of this great city on the Danube.

Berlin – Germany<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city (and the country) was sliced in two.
