Sighetu Marmației, a mesmerizing city nestled in the Maramureș County in Northern Romania, is a unique tapestry of tradition, history, and natural beauty. This charming city is world-renowned for its Village Museum, a fascinating open-air exhibit showcasing traditional Romanian village life, inviting guests into a centuries-old world with its wooden churches, farmhouses, and windmills. Standing near the Tisa River, not far from the Ukrainian border, Sighetu Marmației also draws attention for its historical weight, being the birthplace of acclaimed Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, with a touching memorial house that stands in his honor. The stunning landscape of hills, rivers, and iconic wooden architecture that surrounds the city add to its ethereal allure, offering visitors the serene beauty of rural Romanian life.

Nestled in the heart of Southeastern Europe, Romania delicately balances the rugged charm of its Carpathian landscape with the historical and architectural grandeur of its urban centres. Its rolling mountains and unspoiled countryside play host to a rich biodiversity, including Europe’s largest population of brown bears. Romania is perhaps most famous for its mythical region of Transylvania, the alleged home of the legendary Count Dracula, with the Bran Castle adding a layer of atmospheric mystery. From the vibrant Bucharest that's a blend of the contemporary and historic, to the remarkably preserved medieval towns such as Sighisoara, Romania offers its visitors a world steeped in entrancing folklore, captivating natural landscapes, and an intriguing past.
