Romania
Romania boasts some of Europe's best castles and woodland, but that's not all. See how many things you can tick off our Romania bucket list during your stay!
Discover Dracula's Castle
You do know Dracula doesn't exist, right? But when you visit Bran Castle, rising high above the valley, you might have second thoughts.
Located in the region of Transylvania, this castle attracts visitors from all over the globe, hoping to see some connection with the blood-sucking vampire. Either way, it's a great place to visit when you're in Romania!
Climb the cathedral, Sibiu
Sibiu is a charming city with plenty of history, so you can easily spend a day wandering around. During your visit, make sure to climb the Lutheran Cathedral for stunning panoramas across the rooftops. Then, cross the Bridge of Lies and tell us what you honestly think!
Marvel at the Merry Cemetery, Sapanta
As its name suggests, the Merry Cemetery will make you smile. Located in a small village in north Romania, the Merry Cemetery celebrates the lives of its inhabitants through brightly-painted crosses and portraits of the deceased. Take the time to read the inscriptions to see how these people have been immortalised - and not all of them in a flattering way...
Tour the Romanian Athenaeum, Bucharest
This concert hall stands proudly in Romania's capital, with a beautiful Greek temple design and a stunning interior. As the heart of Romania's classical music tradition, it's the perfect place to watch a concert or attend an exhibition.
Meet the horses, Letea Forest

Photograph Peles Castle, Sinaia
There isn't another castle quite like Peles. With its grey turrets, white walls and red and gold decoration, this castle truly belongs to a fairytale.

Dance all night, Vama Veche Beach
