2. Rural Romania – Authentic Romania
One of the well established sayings in the Romanian national conscience is that ‘Eternity was born in the village’. Romanians are people defined by traditions and ancient customs, by traditional family values. They celebrate holidays sacredly. For many of them, that means celebrating with the entire family, gathered at the big kitchen table, that is loaded with homemade food and drinks.
The village is where many of the prominent people of the country were born and have lived their lives. Even nowadays, having a healthy rural origin is a reason for great pride. The village simply is authentic Romania.
A place where time is redefined, and everything is fully connected with nature.

For those of us who are less active, it is a great choice for a day out to go to the chic mountain resorts in Sinaia, or visit castles and palaces. The most beautiful are Peles Castle in Sinaia, Bran Castle in Bran or Cantacuzino Castle in Busteni. Some of these historic places are extremely friendly for disabled persons and have excellent wheelchair access.
