WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK THE 'Romania - A Bewitching Journey Though Time'
”Romania is a country with thousands of years’ worth of stories to tell—some folklore, some mythological, some brutal.”
-Laura Kerry, Editor of Condé Nast Magazine
Romania is one of the largest countries in Eastern Europe, deeply rooted in rural traditions, with stunning natural wonders, rich culture, and a sense of timelessness.
On our Romania tour, you will be captivated by its capital, Bucharest, with its beautiful blend of Art Nouveau buildings, Orthodox churches, the 1888 Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, vibrant café culture, gourmet restaurants, trendy bars, flea markets, art galleries, and narrow alleys with lively nightlife.
Leaving the capital, we head to Transylvania, a name synonymous with myths and legends, including the infamous Vlad Tepes, aka Dracula! The rural landscape of green hills dotted with haystacks, horse-drawn carts, and shepherds tending to their flocks, all within the embrace of the Carpathian Mountains, will take your breath away.
As you journey from one hamlet to another, you’ll have the chance to explore magnificent 13th-century churches that once doubled as citadels. Wander through the Saxon village in Sibiu, the old capital, and the medieval cities of Brasov and Sighisoara, where you’ll witness the influences of Romans, Huns, Mongols, Turks, Saxons, Slavs, Gypsies, and Hungarians—all contributing to the rich tapestry of the region’s culture and charm. Soak in the untouched landscapes as you hike the Piatra Craiului Mountains.
