Holidays to Romania

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. In the heart of Romania lies Transylvania. Conjuring images of Dracula and grand gothic castles, this region offers much more than these myths with picturesque villages, fortified churches and bucolic beauty.

Sighisoara, a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the region’s most beautiful towns where stony streets weave through the medieval citadel and past colourful Renaissance style buildings. Brasov is brimming with Saxon heritage and is one of Europe’s best preserved cities boasting old fortifications and splendid charm that is close to the iconic Bran Castle, which is closely linked to the legend of Dracula.

Romania’s dynamic capital, Bucharest, has an energetic soul that’s home to a fascinating mix of architecture including the vast Palace of Parliament and the classic Romanian Athenaeum. 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. With our knowledge and experience we can help to create a unique and tailor-made tour to Romania for you.

Places to visit in Romania

Bucharest is Romania’s dynamic capital and home to the largest parliament building in Europe. If it is your first time visiting Romania, you might choose to explore the quaint towns, religious sites and beautiful countryside of Transylvania. In Brasov admire the Saxon heritage and gothic churches, hear tales about the legend of Dracula in the medieval town of Sighisoara and follow cobbled streets in Cluj-Napoca that lead you to time-worn buildings and charming courtyards.

If you have a special interest in religious sites or simply wish to experience rural Romania then journey through Bucovina and Moldavia to admire the exquisite frescoes of the region’s painted churches and monasteries. Wildlife enthusiasts may also wish to spend a few days following the maze of canals and tree-fringed lakes of the Danube Delta.
