5 cities whose name you cannot pronounce (but should visit for sure)

There are places in Eastern Europe with names that can only be pronounced after you've had at least 3 vodkas. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

1. RZESZÓW

Despite being unpronounceable and unknown to most, Rzeszow is billed as the gateway to Poland's wild Podkarpackie region and is a haven for hiking, climbing, riding and skiing. The city itself has a handsome market square, a pair of castle houses and a clutch of museums and galleries.


2. TBILISI

One can get lost in the splendour of the Georgian capital, with its fine art nouveau buildings and pretty, traditional houses with distinct balconies that some would call shabby chic. It's steeped in history- the old town, with its twisting alleys, is particularly fascinating. Not many tourists have been there, which makes it all the more worth visiting.


3. LÓDZ

Nicknamed 'the Manchester of Poland', it was a smoking industrial Behemoth during the 19th century. But today, across Lódz - Poland’s 3rd largest city after Warsaw and Krakow - colossal colourful murals appear on the walls of derelict apartment blocks, warehouses and factories in ever-growing nos.


4. WROCLAW

European capital of culture for 2016 and Poland's 4th city, Wroclaw has remained unchanged since the 19th century. The city includes eventful history, wondrous 13th century market square, atmospheric old town, picturesque Riverside and island setting, passageways and medieval buildings.


5. AARHUS

Denmark's 2nd largest city finds the perfect balance between history and vibrant innovation - from the top of the 310 ft bell tower of the city's beautiful 12th century Domkirke once can see the spires of the 15th century church of our lady, underneath which are the remains of Scandinavia's oldest Stone church. Part of the very same view will be the bold rainbow colored roof of the ARoS modern art museum.
