Romania is one of Europe's most thrilling frontiers, a land of wild Carpathian mountains, medieval Saxon towns, and the legendary castles of Transylvania. It offers a rare sense of discovery close to home.
Its natural riches are extraordinary: some of the continent's last old-growth forests and largest populations of bears, wolves and lynx, plus the wildlife wonderland of the Danube Delta, make it a leader in regenerative, community-led travel.
From guesthouse stays in timeless painted villages to genuine soft adventure in the mountains, Romania rewards curious families with authenticity, wildlife and warm hospitality at wonderful value.
