The countryside of Romania, like the soul of the people, is rich and varied, gentle and gracious.

Driving through the hills surrounding Cluj-Napoca, seven hills that is, a display of peaceful tranquility unfolds.

Magnificent forests that shelter villages nestled in the rich emerald green, dotted with brush strokes of soft white all embraced by clear blue sky.

We find our way to the center of Cluj for an afternoon of art, history and culinary delight.
