Romania holidays

This central European country is full of mystery and splendour thanks to its collection of historic castles, magnificent natural landscapes, and medieval architecture. Grand buildings stand alongside old architecture in the energetic capital city Bucharest, and you’ll find plenty of live music, art galleries, theatres, and museums.

With Qatar Airways Holidays, you can book a culture-filled weekend city break, or a Romania tour package to the beautiful Transylvania region to explore the old Gothic castles, picturesque hilltop villages, emerald landscapes and snow-capped peaks. Relatively unspoilt and still retaining much of its traditional character, Romania is an up-and-coming destination for experienced travellers who want something a little extra from their European holiday.
