Starting off with Transylvania, mostly known as “Dracula's homeland” but also home to many historic medieval towns and fortified churches built by the Saxons. Sighisoara is a fine example of a small, fortified medieval town which played an important role to the Saxon era. The town is still inhabited and well preserved. Once you enter the citadel, you will think you have stepped back some 500 years, as little has changed inside the walls of the fortress. Nowadays you can eat a meal in the birthplace house of Vlad Tepes known as Dracula. Among other monuments the Saxons left behind are the fortified churches; Biertan being the largest and most praised. Among others include Prejmer, Sashiz, Valea Viilor and Calnic; all are included in the World Heritage of Mankind List. These and more are included on the Medieval Towns, Castles and Fortresses of Transylvania Tour.
Then we have the famous Bucovina, located in the region of Moldavia in Northern Romania. This region is famous for its Painted Monasteries, also include on the UNESCO heritage list. With their painted exterior walls, decorated in the 15th century with frescoes that are considered masterpieces of Byzantine art, these seven churches are truly unique sights in Europe. Sucevita is the largest, its walls illustrates the Ladder of Virtue. Moldovita, Vornet and Humour are among some of the other most visited. For a unique short stay in a traditional guesthouse you should stay in the region of Suceava or Iasi. Bucovina can also be a great addition to another tour of Romania.
The Biosphere of the Danube Delta (declared this by UNESCO) is a region in Romania unlike any of in the world. The main way of transport is by boat once deep into the delta. Many opportunities occur here for some great bird watching. Enjoy the company of a local tour guide and travel by private boat through a network of channels, lakes, and lushly vegetated forests; and a huge diversity of birds, presided over by the greatest of them all, the pelican. Or enjoy the luxury of a 5 star Villa Resort with daily excursions. The Danube Delta can also be easily combined on tour with the Black Sea Coast.
