Romania Country Information

Country information

Romania's heady mix of history and legend heightens when set against the wild beauty of its unspoilt countryside.

In Transylvania, the real life homeland of Dracula, you'll find excellent skiing, hiking and outdoor pursuits amongst the stunning Carpathian Mountains.

In its remote villages however, you'll see life seems to have changed little since the days of the Count himself; and in its dramatic scenery, you'll see where Bram Stoker got his inspiration!

If that sounds too spooky for you, you're sure to be safe from any roaming vampires in the sunnier climes of Romania's beautiful Black Sea coast!
