Romania Travel Information


Romania is a country located in eastern Europe. It is located on the western shore of the Black Sea, and shares land borders with Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia, and Ukraine.

As of 2009, the population of Romania was an estimated 22,215,421. The capital and largest city, Bucharest is home to about 2 million, and there are around another 25 cities and towns with populations in excess of 100,000 people (although none approaches Bucharest in size).

Romania is an upper-middle income country, and has been part of the European Union since 2007. Prior to the global recession, it was experiencing rapid economic growth, and was even sometimes been referred to as a "Tiger". In 2009 however, the recession hit the country and the GDP contracted significantly. At present, Romania continues to use its own currency, the Leu, but hopes to adopt the euro within the next few years.

Product Description:
Rosemary Rennon discovered Romania in 1993 when she went hunting for the small village where her father was born. She was captivated by its scenery and by the simplicity of a country just awakening from its long communist nightmare. Unfamiliar to many due to its long isolation, Romania is comprised of five distinct regions resulting from both their unique landscapes and their historical populations of Dacians, Romanians, Germans, Hungarians and Turks. In addition to its rolling green hills and valleys, with the arc of the Carpathian mountain chain in its centre, the country's southeastern region on the Black Sea provides a massive wildlife refuge, as well as miles of sandy beach resorts. Its cities are filled with outstanding architectural gems and modern activities. All this, plus a fascinating, turbulent history and the lovely Romanian tongue-considered by many to be the original romance language-belong to a culture one will never want to leave.
