ROMANIA
Romania is a step back in time, with its 19th century architecture and pretty tree-lined boulevards. Filled with charming medieval towns and unspoilt natural landscapes, it is a nod to Bram Stoker’s esteemed novel, Dracula, which is set here.
In Bucharest, walk the cavernous halls of the vast Palace of Parliament, learn about its history and listen to amusing tales from your Local Expert. See University Square, the former Communist Headquarters and the Church of St Stavropoleos, a jewel of Romanian Orthodox artistic expression.
