Romania is one of the large countries of Europe (the size of the United Kingdom or roughly half of France), with a population of approx. 22 million inhabitants. Along
with the Romanians, Hungarians, Germans, Serbs, Turks and other minorities also live in the country. Most of them are of Greek-Orthodox religion, but there are also many
Catholics, Protestants, Evangelical, Muslims and others.
AZUGA
Romania is probably also the last place in Europe where you can still see unspoiled countryside, with the traditional rural civilisation still alive. Discover the northern provinces of Maramures (in northern Transylvania) or else Bucovina (in northern Moldavia), with their old handicrafts, friendly people fiercely dressed in their folk
costumes, horse or oxen-drawn carriages (horse-drawn sleighs in winter), with colourful villages where time seems to have stood still. You can be sure of forgetting
all the stresses and strains of the western world.
The Red Lake
Often compared to a "Latin island in a Slav sea", Romania features a unique familiar feeling in Eastern Europe: its
language of a Latin origin, the Latin alphabet (quite rare in this part of Europe) and moreover the Latin temperament and
friendliness of its people - all make of Romania a place where most visitor feel very comfortable.
The Sphinx
Babele – Bucegi Mountains
There are many tourist attractions in Romania: some are unique in the world, as the enchanting monasteries of Bucovina with their churches entirely covered with 16th
century frescoes on the outside walls, appearing among hills and woods as an illustrated Bible open on all the pages.
The mud volcanoes
But Romania is much more than this: just think of the Black Sea coast, the wild and picturesque Carpathian Mountains where one goes hiking or skiing, the cultural, historical, architectural or archaeological tours of the country.
