Romania, Europe Romania has emerged from a decade of post-revolution economic turmoil as a member of the European Union (it joined in 2007), and a contemporary nation with a rich and varied past that makes it a multifaceted tourist destination. The castles and fortresses that dot the countryside are the legacy of an oft-invaded country; Romania has been under Hapsburg, Ottoman or Wallachian rule. Here you’ll find medieval towns in Transylvania, painted monasteries, the beauty of Budapest, the healing spas of Black Sea resorts and the romance of the Danube. Romania’s medieval heritage is dramatically represented by its castles and fortresses. There are fairytale castles such as Bran, often associated with 15th-century Walachian Prince Vlad Tepes, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Others are military strongholds, such as the 14th-century Corvinesti Castle, built on the site of a former Roman camp. Later castles were built for beauty rather than defense--Peles Castle with its 160 rooms filled with priceless European art, is an example. Romania is a land of beautifully preserved medieval towns, particularly in Transylvania, home to Bran castle. Moldova rivals Transylvania when it comes to rich folklore, natural beauty and historic sites. Its cultural capital is Iasi, which has almost 100 Orthodox churches. But Romania is about more than architectural wonders. It has a warm climate, miles of sandy beaches and modern resorts on its Black Sea Coast. The coast has long been known for cures of arthritic, rheumatic, internal and nervous disorders. Major resort towns are Mamaia, Eforie, Neptun, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mangalia.
