Hidden Romania: The Flavour of Old Europe
Those who decide to travel through Romania would probably need to be well-informed, well-advised and highly selective in order to get the most of it, and fully enjoy the experience. Their first question will probably be: “What can Romania actually sell on the tourism market?”
The country can offer a various and harmonious natural heritage, places of beautiful and unspoiled nature in the Carpathian Mountains, along the Black Sea coast, and especially in the Danube Delta, a realm of wildlife which cannot be found elsewhere in Europe. Romanian landscapes seem to have been created by God for those who love nature without reserve.
Then there are those places with a special identity which make up human-made heritage, i.e. historic buildings or art monuments, which bear the distinctive imprint of local history, of the people who have raised them. As a rule, the “consumers” of heritage places, whether in Romania or elsewhere, are those “sensitive” travellers who have an interest in the past, in fine arts or in architecture, which is to say that they have sufficient education to understand the significance of a historical site or monument, to grasp the spirit of the place they visit.

BUCHAREST SIGHTSEEING TOURS
If you have only a few hours or half a day available, or even you are only traveling through Bucharest, you can join us on one of our fascinating Bucharest City Sightseeing Tours. The themes of the tours vary in accordance with your interests as they focus on different aspects of the history and culture of Romania’s capital city. They range from explorations of the city’s arts, mediaeval history, commercial past or French eclectic architecture to a discovery of communist Bucharest and the daily life of its inhabitants.
The half-day tours to the Pasarea Convent and the Cernica Monastery provide an insight into Christian Orthodox monastic life and traditions. The tour to Snagov Monastery also explores some of the Romanian connections to Dracula’s legend.
