Romania is more of an underrated destination for visitors of all kinds, but it’s got plenty to shout about, with lush forests and hills along with history and culture (including Dracula’s Castle). Travel the breadth of the country with a huge mass transit network, but transport is especially efficient and cheap in the capital, Bucharest. Food and drink are cheap too – a loaf of fresh white bread is Lei4.57 (81p).
The people of Romania are very friendly towards expats and visitors, feeding them local delicacies and moonshine.
