Bucharest

The capital is in an exciting stage of development, with EU investment resulting in sympathetic modernisation projects and a general buzz around the city. But you can still visit Ceausescu's obscenely grandiose palace and other communist-era monstrosities, plus medieval churches and monasteries.

Carpathian mountainsAlso known as the Transylvanian Alps, the Carpathians are an unspoilt range perfect for hiking, biking and skiing. Or take the slightly lazier – but just as thrilling – option of a motorbike tour.

Castles

Romania isn't short of fairytale castles. Peles is the most opulent and Bran is the legendary home of Dracula. The ruins at Poenari were once one of Vlad the Impaler's fortresses, and so have more claims to being the "real" Dracula's castle.

Danube DeltaWhere the mighty Danube flows into the Black Sea it forms a delta that straddles Romania and Ukraine. It offers some of the best birdwatching in Europe. Explore the channels and lakes by boat, spotting white pelicans, spoonbills, cormorants, ibis, egrets and white-tailed sea eagles.

Transylvanian townsRomania boasts several atmospheric medieval towns that are well worth a visit. Among the most appealing are cobbled Brasov, brooding Sighisoara and beautiful Sibiu, all within easy reach of each other.
