Take a trip of discovery of the whole of Romania, while journeying between two of Europe’s largest cities and the ones whose names are the most frequently confused with one another. Don’t miss any of its main attractions: traditional Maramures, the Byzantine-style painted churches of Bucovina, the multi-ethnic Transylvania and the asphalt jungle of Bucharest. (Ideal as an extension to a Danube cruise).
Romania, a country brought together only a century ago by the union of three historical provinces, is a land of great cultural, geographical and architectural diversity. Learn about these differences by going over the medieval borders from one such province to another, while meeting locals from all relevant ethnic groups, admiring byzantine style frescoes, exploring mighty castles and witnessing the mellow lifestyle of the peasants that still erect a multitude of haystacks and bring the hay home with horse-drawn carts.
The Romanians, EU’s most religious nation have kept up their diverse Christian legacy and used it as an identity anchor during the long centuries of foreign domination and also through the short but fierce decades of communism. The World Heritage Organization has recognized the value of the near-mint condition Byzantine art of the Orthodox churches and the uniqueness of the handcraft displayed by the tallest wooden churches in the world, all of whom scatter the bucolic landscape of Northern Romania.

Embark on a rich cultural journey that will take you from the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Bucharest to the time-forgotten cities of Southern Transylvania, passing through medieval castles, royal residences and peaceful villages. Allow yourself to be mesmerized by the Orthodox places of worship, that seem to be vying for preeminence with the fortified Gothic cathedrals in this land of intense mysticism but also of religious tolerance. Sleep in a baron’s residence and have a blast with the locals around the cooking pot on the sheepfold. Maximize your quality time by flying back to Bucharest over the snowy peaks of the Carpathians.
From the time-forgotten Southern Transylvania, to the Wallachian villages of the Carpathian Mountains, spend the days witnessing the rural lifestyle of the peasants, and the nights in the mansions of their rulers.
Cover in just a few days three of the four main cultural areas of Romania: Wallachia with its own brand of Renascence and Transylvania with both its Romanian and its Saxon regions, with their old farming habits and villages whose looks have barely changed in the last century thus keeping the local aspect of the former set apart from the Central European character of the latter. Fly back to Bucharest to maximize your quality time.
In just two days have a multitude of experiences. Go through Royal Palaces and medieval castles; see old towns and UNESCO protected fortified churches; dine with the Transylvanian shepherds on a meadow with their flocks of sheep and sleep in a Baron’s house. What more can one ask for?
