Romania offers a wide choice of general and "theme" touring ideas.
Legends like that of Count Dracula or the real history of Romania are testimonies of such an exciting past. Such a heritage is to be found in the high-roofed wooden churches of Transylvania.
Romanians' vivid imagination and intense spirituality have always been expressed through their architecture, music, crafts and traditions.
The countryside is the heart and soul of Romania, where peasant culture remains a strong force and medieval ways prevail, as they do nowhere else in Europe.
Romania's traditional village architecture, crafts and cuisine represent a living culture of unique value. Look for the finely carved doorways of Transylvanian houses, the beautiful wooden churches, the variety of regional costumes and the simplicity of country artefacts.
Recognized as the world's third most biologically diverse area - after Australia's Great Coral Reef and Ecuador's Galapagos Archipelago - the Danube Delta has been recognized by UNESCO for its outstanding universal value.
Your tour of Romania starts with booking a cheap flight or a lastminute flight through www.standby-flights.com and spending a night in Bucharest before driving to Piatra Neamt for wine tastings - Moldavian wines have been famous for 500 years, visit the graceful 17th century convent of Agapia, the monastery of Dragomirna, and tour Suceava, former capital of Moldavia.
The famous painted monasteries have marvellously coloured and detailed frescoes of religious and historical scenes on their outside walls.
You will see Humor, where monks taught painters their craft; Voronet, known as the Sixtine Chapel of the East; and Sucevita, set in a dramatically fortified compound.
Natural and Cultural are the words that best capture the essence of Romania, a dynamic country rich in history, art and scenic beauty. Romania offers the traveller countless unique travel experiences waiting to be discovered especially with a number of special offers and late deals on holidays that are available.
