The Passion for Travel series has been created in its entirety by the team at Ad Libri, which has a long tradition in the Romanian tourist Publishing sector. Romania is getting increasingly known in Europe. While before its EU accession (2007), it came as a surprise for some to look at a map of Europe and discover a place called Romania, others admitted to having been won over by this country full of life and colour which had not become just another standard product for tourists. A trip to Romania will trigger wild sensations, strong impressions and feelings that can suddenly shift from enthusiasm to astonishment, from trust to suspicion and from empathy to outrage. But leave your preconceived ideas aside and you will be able to enjoy one of the least conventional journeys through the European continent. Time has its own pace, depending on the location you are in – spinning out of control in the frantic capital city or slow and soft in the sleepy country villages where we are under the impression that life comes to a halt or barely moves along. Up to date and easy to use. •Historical landmarks •The Ten Best Places to Go in Romania •The Ten Most Interesting Romanian Experiences •Essential fact file •Attractions for Children •Calendar of Festivals and Cultural Events •Useful information to help you make the most of your of your trip Illustrations by Florin Andreescu
