Sighetu Marmatiei

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.
