Inside you'll find: Where to stay: mountain hut, monastery, family hotel or a flavor of old communism; where to eat and drink: movie set, salsa bar, village home or royal vineyard; ecotourism, national parks, trekking, paragliding and skiing; detailed historical, political, cultural and security information; unique maps and town plans.
