Chris & Elaine’s Romanian Roadtrip 2025

We first considered a trip to Romania in 2015, inspired by images of painted churches and medieval towns but weren’t confident we could do it independently.  Then, during a recent trip to the dentist, the nurse insisted to Chris it was perfectly possible to drive round Romania without speaking Romanian, and this trip was set in motion.  Of course it will all be fine …

Travelling slowly, we are staying in a mixture of apartments and homestays as we explore Transylvania, Moldavia and Maramures.  The Transfagarasan highway will also be one of the highlights, and if we are lucky, we might even spot bears!
