Member's trip to Romania, 8th-14th May

Earlier this month IGS members enjoyed a memorable trip to Romania.

This was the second IGS trip to Romania, following a very successful and popular trip last April.

On May 8th twenty of our members arrived in Bucharest for a 6-day trip to tour some of the architectural and heritage highlights of the country. This year's trip was enhanced and featured a more in depth visit of the fascinating towns of Cluj and Targu Mures.

Members saw a great variety of architectural styles during the trip - from Neo-Wallachian & Bavarian palaces to Saxon & Hungarian manor houses - reflecting the many minorities in a country influenced by the former Ottoman, Russian and Habsburg empires.
