Romania In Your Pocket
In Your Pocket is the complete insider's guide to Romania.
Well, bits of it at least.
Romania is where the Western world ends, and where the Slavic East begins. The last territory to be incorporated in to the Roman Empire, when Rome comprehended the fairest part of the Earth, and the most civilised portion of mankind, and the first to be abandoned to its Barbarian fate. Two thousand years on Romania has finally rejoined the civilised world, or the European Union at least: another Empire born of (a Treaty of) Rome.
For the traveller Romania offers many things. The opportunity to see genuinely wonderful places, to meet wonderful people, to experience the last frontier-land in Europe.
In Your Pocket has online and print guides to a multitude of cities in this endlessly fascinating country, not least of all the capital Bucharest.
But Romania is a whole lot more than the capital: Brasov and Poiana Brasov both have much to offer, as does Sibiu, where we have just launched our latest guide. Enjoy.

One of Eastern Europe’s best preserved fortified churches lies 16km northeast of Brasov. Surrounding a cross-shaped church (originally built by the Teutonic knights) are walls 12m high and 4m thick that protected the church and Prejmer’s inhabitants during times of war, when each family would retreat into its own room.

Grand Cafe Van Gogh
Amazing how quickly this place became the default Bucharest 'meet you there' venue. Its genius is that it's ideal at every time of day: morning coffee or breakfast sat in front of one of the long windows or out on the terrace, a business lunch at one of the wooden tables, a meal and a late night at the bar.
