Romania

After spending a week there with a group on Intrepid’s Budapest to Bucharest trip, I realized the most shocking thing about Romania has nothing to do with monsters.

In the morning we travelled to our homestay in Viscri, a village of about 400 inhabitants. If off the beaten path had an off the beaten path, this place is it.

Captivating history, character-filled architecture and majestic mountains are just a handful of the things that make Romania unfairly underrated. Cast your eyes over these stunning spots and see if you can resist booking your flights right away!

Whether you’re roaming around Budapest’s beautiful castle district or visiting Copenhagen’s famous Little Mermaid, there are fairy-tale towns and cities waiting to be discovered all over Europe.

If the term “national park” conjures up images of snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, secluded hikes and unlimited adventures, we’re happy to report that you’re spot on.

The art to exploring Europe on a budget comes down to choosing the right destinations.

With Halloween fast approaching, things are getting eerie at Intrepid. Here are some of our spookiest trips from around the world.

Contrary to popular belief, Transylvania actually does exist, but it’s nothing like what it’s been made out to be.

For the first time, we’re stepping back into the soviet era on a special trip through Romania, Ukraine and Moldova, Europe’s least-visited country.
