Therefore, if you are thinking about your next adventure here are a few reasons to look no further then to surprising Romania and why Journey Elsewhere is a wonderful option for your vacation.

Once known only to a few savvy travellers, the secret is slowly getting out, and when it does, the flood gates are sure to open. Rich with history, brimming with ambiance and unspoiled by mass tourism, Romania is beyond photogenic. It is simply beautiful, and often magical.

From the dark shadowy depths of virgin forests to idyllic green meadows, from rolling foothills of the Carpathian Mountains to the wetlands of Danube Delta, the landscape is inundated with vibrant colour, charming character and fascinating relics of history. The pristine mountains and virgin forests of Romania, represent Europe's last true wilderness, making the country a goldmine for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, mountain biking and wildlife observation.

The remains of a bygone time are plentiful and nowhere more so than in Transylvania, where a multitude of restored medieval towns, castles and fortified churches bring the past to the present.

An intriguing mix of fascinating people and unmatched hospitality keep the folk culture still going strong, while ancestral legends and customs are part of everyday life.

We heard many travellers asking themselves after their first visit to Romania "why didn't I think about it until now?". Well, I can't really answer to that question, however I can share with you many of the surprises and splendours my country has to offer. And no need to take my word for it, instead watch this little video of King Charles of Great Britain sending a message to the Romanian people. He felt in love so much with Romania that he decided to buy a few properties in the countryside.

Wishing you all the best and hope to see you soon on these lands shrouded in magic.
