The Other Half of the Continent
Just an hour or two from the rest of Europe lies unknown and unexplored lands, rich in history, architecture and landscape. To accompany his latest series, TV’s finest globetrotter, Michael Palin, feeds the travel addict within all of us in this journey through the rich and complex world of Eastern Europe.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the iron curtain got suddenly ripped open, exposing the other half of Europe for the rest of the world to see. It had not been easy to travel in Eastern Europe before this, with the delights of places like Croatia and Bulgaria hidden under a mass of secrecy and communism.
Starting in the mountains of Slovenia, Palin meanders through Croatia, former Yugoslavia and Albania before embracing Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, The Czech Republic and Estonia, amongst many others in the region. Highlighting the colourful but turbulent cultures of what seems to be another realm, New Europe opens up an undiscovered world.
