If it's of any help I went to Slovenia, for my annual holiday, this year. I was very impressed by the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana. Small, compact, with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Parts of it, especially down by the river, reminded me of a sort of Italianate Amersterdam. Eastern Europe is full of the most amazing, and largely unspoiled, cities. Most people, these days, think of Prague - but there are plenty of others which are less visited and less 'touristy'.
