Romania offers several scenic holiday destinations for hiking, skiing, and experiencing history and culture. The Carpathian mountains are an unspoiled mountain range perfect for hiking, biking and skiing. Romania has many fairytale castles such as Peles, the most opulent, and Bran, the legendary home of Dracula. The remote region of Maramures in northern Romania offers traditional rural life in picturesque villages and wooden churches set against mountains. For something unique, guests can stay in the Ice Hotel where rooms, restaurants, and a church are made entirely of ice.

2. 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.

5. Castles
Romania isn't short of fairytale castles.
Peles is the most opulent and Bran 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.

8. 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.

11. Ice Hotel
The Ice Hotel is 2,034 metres up the
Fagarass range of the Carpathians, among the
highest peaks in Romania, and is accessible only
by cable car. Rooms are made entirely from ice,
as are the bar, restaurant and church.
