mind.” -Seneca
Carpathian mountains
Also known as the Transylvanian Alps, the Carpathians are an unspoilt range perfect for hiking, biking and
skiing. Or take the slightly lazier – but just as thrilling – option of a motorbike tour.
Transylvanian towns
Romania boasts several atmospheric medieval towns that are well worth a visit. Among the most appealing
are cobbled Brasov, brooding Sighisoara and beautiful Sibiu, all within easy reach of each other.
Maramures
This remote region of northern Romania is the place to come for a slice of traditional rural life. Expect to see
rolling green hills, wooden churches and picturesque villages, all against a mountain backdrop.
Danube Delta
Where the mighty Danube flows into the Black Sea it forms a delta that straddles Romania and Ukraine. It
offers some of the best birdwatching in Europe. Explore the channels and lakes by boat, spotting white
pelicans, spoonbills, cormorants, ibis, egrets and white-tailed sea eagles.

Bucharest
The capital is in an exciting stage of development, with EU investment resulting in sympathetic
modernisation projects and a general buzz around the city. But you can still visit Ceausescu's obscenely
grandiose palace and other communist-era monstrosities, plus medieval churches and monasteries
Castles
Romania isn't short of fairytale castles. Peles (peles.ro) is the most opulent and Bran (bran-castle.com) is
the legendary home of Dracula. The ruins at Poenari were once one of Vlad the Impaler's fortresses, and
so have more claims to being the "real" Dracula's castle.
