Romania Holidays

Cultured and friendly, home to charming medieval towns and unspoiled countryside, monumental castles and a spirited capital, Romania is a welcoming year-round destination. Decades behind the Iron Curtain has resulted in many of the regions retaining the character of a pre-industrial Europe that is fast disappearing elsewhere on the continent and it is this heritage which is the country’s biggest draw. Transylvania conjures images of Dracula and grand gothic castles, however, this region offers much more than these myths with picturesque villages, fortified churches and bucolic beauty. The rugged Carpathian Mountains slice through the heart of the country. This is Romania at its wildest and the snow-capped peaks and thick forest shelter brown bear, wolf, wild boar and lynx. Travel north to Moldavia, home to remote settlements, tranquil valleys, rich folklore and the world-renowned painted monasteries of Bucovina or, for a contrasting experience, visit the internationally important Danube Delta wetlands that are home to over 300 species of bird.
