Description of Romania
Romania is located in southeastern Europe and borders with Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Moldova. Romania occupies an area of 237,500 square kilometers, which is greater than combined areas of Bulgaria and Hungary. All of Romania, with the exception of the Black Sea coast, is part of the Danube basin. 2850 km long Danube passes through nine countries and finishes the way by its Delta in Romania. To the south of the Delta is the Black Sea coast, to the south-west - the Danube lowland. The bow-shaped Carpathian Mountains with mountain pastures on the top and dense forests at the bottom occupy the third of the country. Another third is covered by hills and plateaus, abundant orchards and vineyards. A fertile plain, where cereals, vegetables, herbs and other crops are cultivated, occupies the rest of the country.
Romania is a republic country. The head of the country is the president, the head of the government - the prime minister. Administratively, the country is divided into districts (counties), cities and communes. Hotels, motels, visiting homes and campgrounds are located throughout Romania. In the mountains, at high altitudes (for lovers of mountaineering) one can find camp sites. Hotels in Romania are classified from 1 to 5 stars, motels from 1 to 3 stars, and rural apartments from 1 to 4 flowers (daisies). Prices are available according to Western standards. In Bucharest there are 5-star hotels at your disposal. 4-3-2 - star hotels are in the big cities and tourist resorts. You can also rent private apartments and villas located in beauty spots. Residences for recreation and hunting of the former Ceausescu couple can also be rented. Rural houses offer a very attractive alternative, keeping ancient traditions, and there are resorts that offer a variety of services to tourists. Here you can enjoy the advantage of modern comfort, the taste of traditional dishes; and just relax.
