First mentioned in written sources in the 13th century as Memel, the
name by which Lithuania’s major sea port is still known to the
German-speaking population of the world, the extraordinary city of
Klaipėda has been inextricably connected with the Lithuanians for
centuries. Almost entirely destroyed during the Battle of Memel towards
the end of the Second World War and famously boasting a population of
six at the end of the hostilities, Klaipėda’s continued status as a
bustling harbour ensures a rich ethnic pedigree missing in many other
parts of the country.

A quaint central European town that proudly celebrates its long
turbulent history and rich cultural heritage, with 50,000 inhabitants
Celje is the third largest city in Slovenia and an increasingly popular
destination for both domestic and international tourists. Over the past
two millennia the city has seen its fair share of ups and downs. After
becoming a boom town during Roman times, it was virtually absent from
the historical record until the 12th century, and then a regional
powerhouse under the rule of the ill-fated Counts of Celje (p 10), only
to take an historical backseat again until its re-emergence during the
20th century.

Bucharest is a vibrant, modern city which – while it has its problems –
is increasingly like any other European capital. The young (and the not
so young) enjoy going out in its cafes, bars, pubs, restaurants, clubs,
discos and live music venues, much as their counterparts do in almost
every other city in the developed world. So
it is disconcerting when journalists from newspapers in Western Europe
describe Bucharest’s rejuvenated Old Town – the buzzing entertainment
area increasingly serving as the heart of Romania’s capital – as ‘all a
bit homogenous and uninteresting.
