Zoom on Romania
Romania is the perfect land of contrasts and paradoxes, a country where past and present meet and found a harmonious, wonderful world. Through its famous painted churches and monasteries, folk art or feudal castles in the Carpathian Mountains and Transylania, and especially the traditional rural life, Romania is a vast living museum.
The new world is embodied by the bold modern urban architecture and by the Western styles of life adopted by Romania’s townsfolk. There is a wealth of folk tales, legends, arts passed on through the centuries waiting to be discovered along with many other wonders, in an exceptionally beautiful natural space.
We invite you to discover Transylvania – a real province, yet also a mysterious land steeped in romance, legend and folklore. A unique combination of history, myth and scenery is preserved here, in almost unchanged medieval towns, in lively folk-tales and culture and in landscapes that seem to spring from the past.
Continue to a place where the wood has its own soul. Maramures, “the land of faith”, a treasure of still surviving old customs and rites, has carved in wood its own history, keeping, like nowhere else in Romania, its traditions, popular garb and art.
Last, but not least, you are invited to walk along the old trails to the monasteries – UNESCO patrimony (Moldovita, Sucevita, Voronet, Humor) – whose architecture and paintings would be unthinkable without the beautiful landscape of the “Sweet Bucovina“, the “land of beech trees”.
We invite you to join us in one of our most liked tours in Romania!
