Discover a land of legends and traditions on private journeys to Bucharest and beyond

Jacada Travel, the luxury travel specialists on a mission to create positive impact through uplifting journeys around the world, announces Romania as their newest destination for bespoke, private travel in Europe. Home to fairy tale castles, primeval forests, brooding mountains, and rich multiculturalism, Romania has all the elements for soul-stirring adventures and cultural experiences.

“Romania is justly famous for Dracula, and while his famous castle is beautiful, so is the rest of the country’s scenery. We’re so excited for travelers to explore beyond Romania’s most famous vampire and experience Romanian history and culture. Mountains, bears, beautiful architecture and truly authentic local experiences await.” Rachel Newton, Head of Europe Travel Design.

Romania is Jacada’s fourth new destination this year, following Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in April.

One of the largest countries in Eastern Europe, Romania is known for its folklore and ancient traditions, as well as for remarkable natural wonders, including the wildlife-rich Danube Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve.

As on every trip designed by Jacada, Romania-bound clients can anticipate luxury and boutique accommodations and exceptional local guides. Among many highlights of Jacada Travel’s new experiences in Romania:

• In the legendary region of Transylvania, known for its connection to the mythological Dracula, unveil the secrets of medieval castles and Saxon villages with expert guides.

• Marvel at impressive Belle Époque buildings and embrace the slow food movement on a private tour in Bucharest, known as the ‘Little Paris’ of the East.

• Explore Bucovina’s rich cultural landscape, which is marked by traditional crafts and folklore, and admire the beautifully painted monasteries.

• Pay a visit to the Royal Beekeeper in the heart of Transylvania to sample different types of honey and learn about the art of beekeeping.

The best time to visit Romania is from May to September, with the shoulder months of May, June, and September being the most comfortable temperature-wise. September is often considered one of the best months to visit, with mild weather and the summer crowds starting to disperse.
