Part 4/12:
Romania stands out as an incredible value in Europe. The Transylvania region boasts captivating castles and beautiful architecture. We loved the cozy town of Brasov, where you can find accommodation for $30 to $40 a night.
The local cuisine offers delicious low-priced options like mici and papanasi—fried sweets that are worth every cent. Bucharest also enchants with its old town and impressive government buildings, all easily accessible via a cheap metro.
Egypt: Ancient Wonders Await
Egypt's allure is undeniable, from the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza to the historic temples in Luxor. While we splurged on a $200 four-day Nile river cruise, it included meals and accommodation.
