Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | We'll tour Romania's vibrant capital, Bucharest, with its "Little Paris of the East" architecture and lingering reminders of a brutal communist dictator. Then we'll head into Transylvania, where we'll visit fortified churches, cobbled merchant towns like Sighișoara, and castles made famous by an imported German king and the reallife Dracula. Finally we'll explore Maramureș, where everyday life still feels like an openair folk museum. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #romania
