2. 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. Stay in
the Hotel Christina, a boutique hotel in the
centre.

5. 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.

8. 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.

11. 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.

14. • 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.

17. • The monasteries of Bucovina, north-eastern
Romania, are decorated on the outside with
15th- and 16th-century frescoes depicting
religious stories. The best-preserved
monasteries are within a 30-minute drive of
each other – hire a car to take in a few in one
day.
