What can be more beautiful and energizing than visiting the beautiful landscapes of Carpathian mountains, discover the rural and authentic life in the Saxon villages, medieval citadels, castles, take a tour in the wildlife of Danube Delta with its endangered species of birds or just explore the urban and modern life of Romanian cities and Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
