Hiking in Retezat National Park

Extraordinary passes, gorges,
cavernous limestone caves and sinkholes can be found on the southeastern corner of the park.
At altitudes above 6,000 ft., glaciers have created terraced valleys that end in spectacular waterfalls and lakes.

Cultural Romania

Romanians' vivid imagination and intense spirituality have always been expressed through their architecture, music, crafts and traditions.

Authentic Romania

The countryside is the heart and soul of Romania, where peasant culture remains a strong force and medieval ways prevail, as they do nowhere else in Europe.

Natural Romania

Recognized as the world's third most biologically diverse area - after Australia's Great Coral Reef and Ecuador's Galapagos Archipelago - the Danube Delta has been recognized by UNESCO for its outstanding universal value.
