Romania

Romania sits at a crossroads between Central and Eastern Europe, where the Carpathian Mountains curve through the center of the country and the Danube delta fans out into the Black Sea in a maze of reeds and waterways. Medieval fortified towns, painted monasteries, and forests dense enough to still shelter bears and wolves give the landscape a particular weight. Life moves at different speeds here — brisk in Bucharest, unhurried in the Saxon villages of Transylvania.

About Romania

Overview

Romania borders Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary, with a Black Sea coastline to the southeast. Bucharest is the capital and largest city; Romanian is the official language and the currency is the Romanian leu (RON). The country joined the European Union in 2007. Its cultural identity draws from Latin, Slavic, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian influences, producing a mix that feels distinct from its neighbours on every side.
