A country of unquestioned beauty, dramatic contrasts, spellbinding myths and legends, Romania offers an “experience” that can truly be called incomparable.

Although located in the Southeast corner of Europe, Romania has been the centre of the ebb and flow of history and has witnessed the rise and fall of great and diverse civilizations on its lands. From the mystical Dacians to the conquering Roman Armies, from having one foot in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and the other in the mysterious Orient, Romania is the result of this unique melange of historical influences, the whispers of which can still be heard today. But the predominant influence, which will become noticeable upon the first visit, is Romania’s Latin heritage which is so vividly expressed not only in its romantic language but also in its people’s hospitality, vitality and joie de vivre.

As a cultural city, Bucharest perfectly combines a long-standing tradition of hospitality with a lot of historical sites, old churches and captivating museums.
The city’s wide tree lined boulevards and parks, together with the imposing buildings and monuments gave it such a Parisian look and “feel”, that in the early 20th century, Bucharest became known among travellers as “The Little Paris”.
