3 Romania is situated in the South Eastern part of Central Europe, between Eastern Europe and the Balkan Peninsula. Located at the crossroads of major communication routes between the Eastern and Western worlds, Romania has always played an important role in the geopolitical stability of the entire continent. The territory features mountains, hills and fields in almost equal parts. The natural landscapes in Romania offer many opportunities for outdoor experience. The most important tourist attractions are: the Danube Delta, the monasteries in Northern Moldavia, the medieval towns and castles, and the national natural parks. Romania has a temperate continental climate, with warm summers and cold winters.

5 The town was founded five hundreds years ago, and, at the beginning of the XX th century, it used to be called «Little Paris» as a tribute to its architecture, its long boulevards lined with trees, and its gardens. In Bucharest you can visit The Romanian Parliament Building (Ceausescu s former House of the People) one of the largest buildings in the world. Despite the extensive reconstruction plan of the 1980s, the capital remains a city of pleasant green parks, with cafes and bistros along the streets and with small pleasure boats navigating on its lakes.
