Travel Romania map, guides, and history of Dracula's castle

Guides
Here the information about destination Romania that some Western travelers experienced and like to share with you. They describe facts, opinions, and Romanians’ hospitality, giving you pertinent advice.

Unlike so called “journalists” who’ve never been in Romania but afford to tell you fiction stories. There’s even worse, one TV channel calls Travel (!) that keeps showing its customers (who pay to see informative not deformative films) a film that was certainly made in Romania about 8 years ago. The point is, the film is presented as it describes Romania today!

By the way, do you know that EU Chief Commissioner for Enlargement, Mr. Olli Rehn, believes that Romania will officially join EU in 2007 thanks to achieving the EU severe economic criteria? 2004 Romania ended 8% growth rate in Europe, while 2005 is expected to rise by 5% (International Monetary Fund report)
