Since immemorial times, the territory of today’s Romania has been the last stand of European civilisation. Romanian culture is an exotic mixture of Oriental, Slavic and European elements. Its unique position has helped the country keep its old traditions, myths and the most important, its wild nature.

Still undiscovered and often overlooked, Romania is a country which leaves people amazed, impressed, touched and feeling more alive than before. Even HRH Prince Charles of Wales has become one of the country’s biggest fans, purchasing houses in several Transylvanian villages, visiting Romania each year and promoting his love for the region, one of the last places “where people still live in complete harmony with nature”.

Here are no less than 10 very important reasons to join one of our group tours and discover the last untouched region in Europe:

Romania also has the biggest variety of landscapes than any other country in the European Union, which means that you can enjoy peaky mountains, beautiful meadows, mild hills or the seaside at short distance one from the other.
  2. Discover the unspoiled medieval sites. Imagine a place stuck in time. This is place is real and it is called Transylvania, home for Sighisoara, the best preserved inhabited medieval city in Europe and other hundreds of villages that still hold the architecture and the traditions of medieval times.
  3. Explore castles & best sightseeing roads (Transfagarasan). Castles and castles and one of the most famous castles in the world: Dracula’s castle. You can experience the history, the myth and uncover the legend which made this castle famous in the whole world.

If it sounds pretty familiar you might have heard about it at Top Gear’s BBC show as being declared one of the most spectacular roads in the whole world.
  5. Trek in the Carpathian Mountains. The Romanian Carpathians are friendly with beginners and they offer so many trails easy to conquer. For experienced hikers there are routes which can last days brining you closer to nature and farther from the civilized world.

Prepare yourself to taste it!
  9. Live the lively old &new atmosphere of Bucharest!
