Book your flights to Romania online. Lord Dracula's Castle, the spectacular natural beauty of the Danube Delta and the Black Sea coastline, with interesting folklore and modern cities - this is now the recognisable face of Romania for visitors. The gorgeous countryside, interesting history and historical sites provide a great place to explore. The giant forests, deep valleys and flowing rivers are already becoming well known, but other features may not be. We can also mention the limestone caves, secluded beaches, and  villages based around wildlife-rich lakes. Wooden churches nestle in small valley villages amongst the rolling hillsides and mountains, whilst the hills themselves are punctuated with monastries and castles reflecting the peoples of the region. Romania could be a great place to start to see how Europe could have looked in the late Middle Ages - and, in particular, the Transylvanian landscape still harbours so many stories and legends of bygone ages.

Transylvania's capital cities with Malev

Cluj-Napolca (in Hungarian, Kolozsvar) is the Transylvania's oldest city, the regional capital of Cluj county. The oldest cemetery in Europe is to be found here, along with many historical monuments dating from the city's Hungarian heritage, such as the statue of the Hungary's Renaissance King Matthias. In addition, it has the oldest church in Transylvania, St Michael's Church, in Urii Square.

Targu Mures is in the middle, scenic region of Transylvania. Divided by the river Maros and flanked by forests, the town contains some notable architecture, such as the Reform Church, built in a gothic style in the 15th century. The castle's ramparts and city walls date from the Middle Ages.

Timisoara is the capital of the Banat region, and has long been a focal point for the Germans, Serbs, Romanians and Hungarians who have made the region their home. The town can proudly claim an early role as an initiator of the 1989 revolution. In the centre the town's multicultural traditions are reflected by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Cathedrals, and the nearby Hunyadi Castle.

Bucharest - an eclectic city

Bucharest was once referred to as „The Paris of the East" and there are certainly surviving aspects of this to still be found in the capital city's many churches, exhaustive museums and fascinating architecture. The city's unique atmosphere can be best represented by the town houses of the late 19th and early 20th century, whilst the sheer scale of the government quarter reflects the outsized ambitions of the post-war administration. With recent years, there has also been a development of the office spaces and modern facilities expected of large cities. Bucharest is therefore a contrasting city, often mixing splendour and the antique with more recent examples of brutalist architecture at its worst and now, a revitalised approach to commerce.
