Real Rugby Tours Destination: Eastern Europe

Eastern Europe

Travelling Eastern Europe has many advantages namely, the how the prices are very low out there meaning that the spending money required is minimum.

Romania
Although it has been left behind, Romania have always had the strongest rugby pedigree out of all the eastern European countries and were especially competitive in the 1980’s when they beat Scotland twice in 1984. As you may or may not know, Scotland had just won the grand slam that year which shows how important this feat was. So if you are looking for a strong nation to play against in outside of the six nations, Romania is a destination you have to head to.

The Palace of Parliament, in Bucharest, is the second largest building in the world. Built under communist rule, the palace was designed to not only serve as parliament, but is said to have a nuclear bunker big enough to shelter the whole government. Daily tours of this stunning palace are available and we strongly advise that you do not miss the opportunity to visit

Czech Republic
Prague is known as the Golden City because of the many sightseeing attractions. The old town clock and the Karluv Most (Charles Bridge) and the Pražský Hrad (Prague Castle) are to name a few of the many attractions here.

The Czech Repuclic was exploited for its silver and this has left many unused silver mines. Going to see the mines and finding out what the silver making process is, is a great tourist attraction.

You will enjoy moderate levels of rugby out here but for real test you will need to be signed up to a rugby tournament. We tour all European countries. Countires such Poland, Latvia and Bulgaria now host their own rugby tournaments. Competing in these tournaments it the best way to guarantee strong competition whilst you are out there.
