Romania is a country of great natural beauty, with a fascinating history and a warm, welcoming population. This Eastern European nation is well-known for its striking Carpathian Mountains, the Danube River and the Danube Delta — both of which offer excellent opportunities for active adventures or relaxing river cruises. Accommodation options range from simple guesthouses and B&Bs to chic city hotels with top-notch restaurants and bars. Many of the best places to stay in Romania are in the capital city of Bucharest, but there are also some wonderful rural hideaways.
