Romania is the country of Eastern Europe in which it is more difficult to travel.

The regime of Nicolai Ceausescu left the country close to bankruptcy and scams and bad business practices are very common. But it also has some positive attractions.

Travelling Romania can be a very rewarding and enriching experience. Its wild mountain landscape, its wildlife and its many cultures and people will not disappoint you.

The Romanians have something Latinos: tend to be warm, spontaneous and lovers of the life pleasures. In addition to the Romanian ethnic are the Saxons (Germans) from Transylvania, who lived in medieval fortified towns. There also are the Hungarians (about half a million), which tend to preserve an ancient traditional lifestyle of Hungary and finally Ukrainians, Serbs, Bulgarians, Gypsies, Turks and Tatars who are mixed on the coast and in the Danube delta.

Bucharest, the capital, does not stand out as European city but also has its local interest. But the best of Romania are undoubtedly the Carpathians and Transylvania, a region of great beauty and fascinating history, one of the most beautiful and unexplored mountain scenery in Europe.
