Central and Southeastern Europe, bordering on the
Black Sea.
Romania shares a
border with Hungary
and Serbia to the
west, Ukraine and
Moldova to the
northeast and east,
and Bulgaria to the

romanus, meaning
"citizen of Rome". The
first known use of the
appellation was by 16th-
century Italian humanists
travelling in
Transylvania, Moldavia
and Wallachia.

4. The Carpathian Mountains dominate the centre of Romania,
with 14 mountain ranges reaching above 2,000 m, and the
highest point at Moldoveanu Peak. Romania's geographical
diversity has led to an accompanying diversity of flora and
fauna.

on the southeastern portion of the European
continent, Romania has a climate that is temperate
and continental, with four distinct seasons. The
average annual temperature is 11 °C in the south and
8 °C in the north.

country is covered with
natural and semi-natural
ecosystems. The integrity of
Romanian forest ecosystems
is indicated by the presence of
the full range of European
forest fauna. There are also
almost 400 unique species of
mammals, birds, reptiles and
amphibians in Romania.

landscapes and its rich history and is a significant
contributor to the Romanian economy. Tourism is
