Romania: The Land That Time Forgot 🇷🇴

Medieval towns, painted monasteries, forested mountains and villages where traditional ways of life are still part of everyday life. Romania offers a fascinating glimpse of a Europe that feels a world away from its better-known destinations.

Over 14 days, explore Transylvania’s castles and fortified Saxon villages, look for brown bears in the Carpathian Mountains and navigate the waterways of the Danube Delta, rich in birdlife. You’ll also visit Bucovina’s remarkable painted monasteries and experience the warmth of local hospitality along the way.

With a maximum of 12 travellers, this journey goes beyond the usual sights to explore the traditions, landscapes and communities that make Romania so distinctive.

São Tomé and Príncipe: one of Africa’s least-visited nations.

Fewer than 30,000 foreign visitors arrive each year in this remote archipelago off the coast of Central Africa. Here, volcanic landscapes meet lush rainforest, cocoa plantations tell stories of the islands’ past, and the Portuguese-Creole culture gives the destination a character all its own.

In July 2026, the islands gained their first UNESCO World Heritage listing for The Roças of São Tomé and Príncipe: Colonial Agricultural System and Forced Migration. The designation recognises six historic plantation estates, known as roças, and their significance in the history of cocoa production, colonialism and forced migration.

For travellers looking beyond the usual destinations, these remarkable islands offer a fascinating mix of history, culture and natural beauty.

Explore São Tomé and Príncipe with Undiscovered Destinations.
