Romania Hiking & Walking Tours

Journey to Transylvania, the "land beyond the forest", for the kind of adventure that made us fall in love with travel in the first place. In rural Romania, time ticks back decades in little villages where folklore tropes are still ways of life. At the same time, boutique country retreats have popped up, honoring the country's deep past and hospitality culture with sleek updates... and they're ready for prime time. On the table, intriguing food mixes Turkish, Hungarian and local traditions. In the great outdoors, national parks invite you to ascend towering mountains where waterfalls tumble and bears still roam. And on the urban side of things, buzzy towns like Brasov and, of course, the grand capital of Budapest offer world-class delights. You'd have to be as cold-blooded as Dracula to fail to get a rush from this exhilarating destination.
