Among the Balkan states, Romania is the largest, situated at Europe's crossroads. Thanks to the legacy of its numerous conquerors - the Romans, Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians - Romanians often refer to themselves as ‘an island of Latinos' in a ‘sea of Slavs'.

To the north and east of Romania lie Moldova and Ukraine. The southeast is bordered by the Black Sea, Bulgaria lies to the south, Serbia to the southwest and Hungary to the west. Romania has four geographical regions. Transylvania, a swathe of Alpine massifs and forests, and Moldavia form the northern part of the country. The Carpathians, running north to south, divide this region down the middle. The Danube plain (Walachia) lies to the south of the east-west Carpathian line. Bucharest, the capital, is located here. The river's course defines the border with Bulgaria. The Black Sea lies along Romania's coastline, with the port of Constanta and the Danube Delta located here. The area lying between the sea and river (after it changes direction northwards) is called Dobrudja (Dobrogea).

The Dacians - a Thracian tribe - settled in Romania from circa 200 BC. Several waves of conquests and migrations followed. The Roman Emperor Trajan annexed Dacia in 2 BC. The decline of the Roman Empire less than two hundred years later led to their abandoning the region. Romania literally fell off the map, with no known record of its history for several centuries, until the region reappeared during the medieval era as the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia.

Whether the purpose of your visit is education, adventure or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of a new country, Romania has plenty to delight you. Find a good Romania hotel, take an exciting tour in Romania and make the most of your Romania holiday!
