Romania
Romania is the Wild East of Europe, with fantastic wilderness, dramatic mountains and the eerily atmospheric castles of Transylvania. Romania has always had a strong peasant culture. The contrast between Romania old and new can be seen in countless ways, as farmers ride horse carts to market while chatting on mobile phones, or in the newly bustling streets of Bucharest. Romania has a host of treasures to explore: discover the majestic Carpathian Mountains which offer a paradise of trails for the hiker. Visit Bran Castle, forever associated (wrongly) with Dracula, or see the spectacular painted monasteries of Bucovina.
