Lonely Planet's Weekend Break

Spending two days in an Eastern European city like Prague or Krakow? Famed guidebook publisher Lonely Planet's got all the tips.

Recently we polled our readers on the most desirable cities in Eastern Europe and Russia to spend an intensive weekend. Our results had Dubrovnik coming out on top with Prague not far behind. This week Lonely Planet, one of my favorite guidebook publishers (and Aussie-grown, like me), released its Free City Downloads featuring itineraries for heaps of great European cities. In the eastern half, there are guides for Sarajevo, Krakow, Budapest, Gdansk, Prague and Moscow, so if you're planning a city stopover check them out.
