Exploring Romania

With plenty of historic sites, Bucharest offers a rich

taste of Romanian culture. Just north of the capital, in

the foothills of the mighty Carpathian Mountains, are

the medieval town of Braşov and Bran Castle, while

further north, Suceava makes a good base for the

Bucovina Monasteries Tour. The delightful towns

of Sighişoara and Sibiu lie to the southwest the

Carpathians. A net work of railways connects many

main towns and Bucharest has a bus service to most

towns and villages across the country. The seaside

resorts are best reached by bus or taxi from Constanța.
