    Rural Tourism

    Romania's capital Bucharest — known for its wide, tree lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and reputation for the high life — was once known as "Little Paris". Transylvania is perhaps Romania's best-known province, immortalized in legend, literature and film as the homeland of Dracula. There are countless reasons to visit Transylvania including its dramatic landscape of rugged mountains, dense forests, dark caves and lowland valleys. Spring, summer and fall abound with events and festivals. In early May, Bucharest is the host of a one-week carnival. In late July Sighisoara's streets are the stage for the annual Medieval Arts Festival. The Halloween is celebrated as nowhere else in the world, with special tours retracing the route of the Dracula novel. Music lovers will especially appreciate the George Enescu Classical Music Festival as well as numerous folk-music and dance festivals that take place all year round throughout all over the country.
