A wide range of holiday alternatives are available for travellers.
You can ski at mountain resorts or laze in the hot sun on Black Sea beaches, hike through unspoilt landscapes or cruise in the Danube Delta to watch rare birds among floating reed islands. Or you can enjoy the architecture, museums and galleries of the cities.
Roman remains, feudal fortresses, Byzantine "painted" monasteries and decorated village houses testify to a richly historic past, while "Dracula's" castle is only one among hundreds of noble castles and palaces.
Folk festivals are genuine expressions of local traditions. Ceramics and wood-carvings are made to give pleasurable use, not just as throwaway souvenirs. Romania's rural culture is a living heritage.
At the same time first class opera and concerts, permanent art exhibitions, fine museums and galleries, all are waiting for the visitor.
Better still this is all backed up by the comfort of a widening range of hotels and restaurants, good internal communications by air, train and bus, and surprisingly low prices.
