Travel Directory - Romania

Romania is located in between Central and Eastern Europe. The country is surrounded by Bulgaria to the south, Serbia to the southwest, Hungary to the northwest, Moldova to the northeast and Ukraine in both the north and the east. Regarded as a relatively backward tourist destination until the 1990s, Romania has recently begun to reinvent itself as a diverse and unique European destination, boasting stunning mountain scenery, historical cultural sites such as the Painted Monasteries, beach resorts, and medieval towns. The largest and best-known region of Romania is Transylvania, with its many renowned medieval sites and ski resorts. The eastern end of the country runs into the Black Sea Coast, the wonderful Danube Delta and ruins of ancient Greek and Roman cities. The capital city, Bucharest, is located in Wallachia, where the early residences of the Wallachian princes and the resorts on the Prahova Valley are also to be found.
