Romania – The Heart of the Carpathians and Traditions
Romania blends spectacular Carpathian landscapes with vibrant cities and authentic villages: the castles of Transylvania (Bran, Corvin) tell their legends among alpine peaks and mysterious forests, the painted monasteries of Bucovina and the wooden churches of Maramureș preserve ancient art, while the Danube Delta fascinates with wild canals and golden sunsets. Medieval Sibiu, Gothic Brașov, youthful Cluj, and vibrant Timișoara complete the urban map, while Bucharest mixes historical architecture with contemporary energy. The soulful cuisine — sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls), mămăligă (polenta), zacuscă (vegetable spread), mountain cheeses, and papanași with jam — pairs perfectly with local wines from Dealu Mare and Transylvania. Spring and autumn are ideal for city breaks and cultural circuits, summer for hiking and festivals, and winter for ski slopes and villages scented with burning wood: a complete experience between history and modernity.
