Romania often overlooked by travellers exploring Europe, yet it has an incredible amount to see and do. Located in southeastern Europe, it has a wonderful variety of landscapes including the forested region of Transylvania which is surrounded by the rugged Carpathian Mountains. The capital, Bucharest has recently undergone an old-town revamp, restoring many of its buildings and streets to their original glory. Be sure to explore the preserved medieval towns scattered throughout the countryside, they'll make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Don't miss:
