Still struggling to shake off the dust left over from decades of communist rule, Romania remains an unknown quantity to most travellers, which makes it prime adventuring country. A land of rolling green pastures separated by the towering Carpathian Mountains, Romania is built for hikers and outdoorsy folk. Not to be outdone by nature, the landscape is dotted with cozy villages, picture-book castles and churches, culture-rich cities like Bucharest and Brasov, and other man-made wonders. Uncover Romania's secrets for yourself before word gets around.
