Romania is a part of old Europe that is quickly vanishing – horses and carriages clip-clopping by, farmers in the fields, a slow, folkloric and traditional pace of life. Step back several centuries and discover a magical country, lost in time – and at a great value, too. Not simply beautiful, Romania presents a soulful tapestry of gypsy music, medieval Europe, and deep-rooted Jewish culture. The Ba'al Shem Tov, founder of the mystical Chassidic movement, spent much of his life here.
