Romania

Romania lies in the heart of Europe, sharing land borders with five other European countries: Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary. It’s packed with things to do in its own right, but it’s ideally placed, for a wider European trip, covering more than one country. I highly recommend it.
