"What travel guides say about Romania:


"… why should you go to Romania? The straight answer is because it is one of the most beautiful countries of Southeast Europe." (The Blue Guide)

"Few regions offer a more dazzling display of cultural and artistic treasures than Romania." (Smithsonian Journeys) 

"Considered by many the most beautiful country in Eastern-Europe, Romania still claims regions that seem bastions of a medieval past long since lost elsewhere."(Fodor's Eastern and Central Europe) 

"No journey to Eastern Europe would be complete without paying a visit to Romania… Outstanding landscapes, a huge diversity of wildlife…" 
(The Rough Guide)

"Romania has majestic castles, medieval towns, great hiking and wildlife…" 
(The Lonely Planet)"
