Summary

Hear about travel to Romania and Northern Hungary as the Amateur Traveler talks to Lisa VanderVeen about her recent Intrepid trip to the area. Why should you go to Romania? Lisa says, "Romania is much more than Dracula and Vlad Tepes, though I will confess that was my initial draw to the country. It's got a great diversity of landscape and a multi layered history going way, way back. And then also as recently as the, communist times. Lots of really interesting museums to visit." "In terms of the topography and the geography, it's just amazing. It's got beautiful towns the Maramures region has a history of weavings and just the colors, red, orange, pink, and blue with the haystacks dotting the rolling hills and the mountains in the backdrop are really stunning." "The Carpathian Mountains are moody and they're filled with lore and at the same time they feel a little bit like Switzerland. There's great beauty, great history, and wonderful food and wine in Romania." Here's the itinerary of the trip to Romania and Northern Hungary as described by Lisa: Budapest, Hungary: Start the trip in Budapest, Lisa's favorite European city, known for its architecture, the Danube River, the Fisherman's Bastion, and thermal baths. Eger, Hungary: Travel by train to Eger, a small town with Baroque architecture, a notable history of resisting the Ottomans, and a rich wine tradition. Explore the Castle of Eger and the Valley of Beautiful Women, known for its wine cellars. Visit the Basilica of St. John the Apostle and the Camera Obscura. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-romania/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
