Whether trekking through the scenic wonders in the Carpathians or taking a tour through the medieval fortresses of Transylvania, there is so much to see and do in Romania.
Romania is the perfect blend of elegance, culture, ancient history, vibrant cities, natural wonders and modern luxury.
The natural beauty of Romania can be seen at every turn, but the Carpathian Mountains are truly magnificent. The mountains stretch out and around the country allotting for a lush, rolling meadow below.
Hiking trails remain the best way to get around the mountains and take in the countryside. The Danube is the second largest river in Europe and can be great for fishing, boating or just admiring as it flows into the Black Sea.
Bucharest, Brasov and Sibiu are among some of the more popular, main city destinations in Romania and all offer amazing cuisine, shopping and accommodations.
It is no coincidence stories of vampires living in medieval castles often take place in Transylvania; Romania is riddled with fortresses. The palaces scattered throughout Romania require their own tour as visitors have come from all over the world to see the beautiful, elaborate building. Historic towns such as Maramures are more like a walk through time displaying ornately carved gates, Gothic-style churches and primitive villages.
If the folk culture, fortresses, wilderness and medieval towns and villages aren’t enough, there are beach parts to be had in Mamaia. This popular resort draws beach-loving tourists each summer for relaxing and sunbathing by day and non-stop clubbing at night. Vama Veche is a local favorite; people often come here for a slower paced and rustic resort experience.
