The home of Dracula and so much more, this Balkan nation is filled with natural beauty, medieval charm, and folklore. Romania is perhaps best known for its evocative castles and Transylvanian legends. Bran Castle, the inspiration for the legend of Count Dracula, is the most famous but equally impressive are beautiful Peleș Castle in the Carpathian Mountains, Râşnov Citadel, or the impressive Corvin Castle, one of the largest castles in Europe. Bucharest, the capital, is home to the Palace of the Parliament, the largest administrative building in the world, and numerous public parks including Cişigiu Gardens and Herăstrău Park. No Romanian tour would be complete without a visit to the Danube River.
