Over the course of its turbulent history, Romania’s three former principalities of Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia have been subjected to the cultural influences of many invaders.

These influences have blended with one another and with the ancient indigenous civilization of the Geto-Dacians to form one of the richest and most varied cultured in Europe with its wonderful art and architecture. But Romania is also a land of spectacular landscapes and dense mountainous forests with rustic farms and traditional villages.

Highlights:

• Stay in some wonderfully located hotels delightfully converted from medieval houses
• Visit Sighişoara the only inhabited fortified citadel remaining in Romania
• Meet a number of experts to experience a broad view of Romania’s history and future
