Synopsis

From the colourful traditions of Transylvania to the sophistication of Bucharest, the Paris of the East, Romania comes to life in this book. The gorgeous painted churches of the unspoilt Carpathian mountain country, the unique wooden architecture of Maramures, the fascinating riches of a country on the edge of both the Ancient Roman and the Byzantine empires are presented in detail, together with practical information for travellers.

PALLAS ATHENE is well known for its distinguished guidebooks, including the first comprehensive guides in English to the Czech and Slovak Republics and to Poland. The Pallas Guide to Romania will be both a useful guide and a vital reference book. Published in the UK and distributed worldwide, the book will also be an ambassador for Romania, bringing the country’s rich heritage and natural beauties to a new audience.
