Welcome to Romania

Romania has culture in abundance and there is a lot of nature to experience as wel. In this incredible country you can discover authentic old towns, imposing castles, and old painted churches and monasteries with beautiful frescoes. Not to mention the many museums in historic buildings. A big part of Romania’s culture is also steeped in folklore, which is very much alive here. Then again, Romania is also the home of the legendary Vlad III, who was made more popular by author Bram Stoker, who based his novel Dracula on this historic figure from the 15th century. The beautiful Bran Castle, situated in mythical Transylvania, and a landmark in Romania and commonly known as Dracula’s Castle is also open to visit.

Folklore, legends and nature

Romania is also a great destination for lovely walks through mountain ranges and along the coast of the Black Sea. In terms of landscapes, Romania is diverse as well. The Carpathian mountain range divides the land, and you can find various landscape types: sandy beaches, the river delta of the Danube and, of course, plenty of natural forest. Romania is also home to some of the last primeval forests in Europe. These woods contain old plants and trees and are home to rare animals such as lynxes and bears. These valuable natural properties have been declared protected areas. This is one of those countries in Southeast Europe where, as a traveler, you can still discover so much and nature is relatively untouched.

Romania Highlights

Bucharest

The picturesque capital of Romania is rich in culture and history. It has splendidly decorated palaces, impressive sights and attractive neighborhoods. The Romanian Athenaeum concert hall in particular is worth a visit thanks to its architecture and Baroque appearance. Also visit Bucharest’s grand Old Town, the authentic Lipscani district where cobbled streets, galleries, pastel-colored houses with cast-iron balconies and cozy cafés and restaurants form the picturesque background here. You can also find a number of special churches here. The Stavropoleos Monastery Church, for example, looks a bit like a Moorish palace thanks to its pillars and richly decorated facades. And the white New St. George Church, decorated with colorful frescoes and murals on the inside, is definitely worth a visit.

Bran Castle

The gothic Bran Castle is one of the most famous castles in the world. According to myth and legends, the vampire lord Count Dracula is supposed to have lived in this castle. And so this place is more commonly known as Dracula’s Castle. Reality and history are perhaps a little less magical as the person on which the character Dracula was based, Vlad III, never lived as a count in this castle. However, that doesn’t take anything away from the magic of this beautiful place. It is a fascinating destination, located in the heart of Transylvania, a region that just by name already fires up the imagination of many. The castle has since been turned into a museum and you can find relics and items collected by Queen Marie inside. And even though Dracula never really lived here, it is definitely worth a visit. The castle looks straight out of fairytale with its striking red spires. And seeing the underground corridors, winding stairs, and old weapons and armor on display, you can at least imagine how Dracula chased his victims here.

The Carpathian Mountains

Looking for wildlife and hiking in the natural Carpathians is an experience not to forget. This mountain range stretches over several countries and his natural park is trying to become the Yellowstone of Europe. It is a relatively young mountainous area, about the same age as the Alps. The Carpathians, however, are much less visited and also less crowded. Hiking and trekking through this area will bring you to spectacular canyons, rivers, green forests, and Saxon villages with friendly welcoming people and spectacular scenic views. These mountain ranges are also home to the largest concentration of bears, beavers, wolves, and lynxes. So, you have a good chance to spot wildlife here.

Top things to do in Romania

The Danube Delta

The Danube is the second longest river in Europe, which originates in Germany and flows through many countries. The Danube leads into the Black Sea and the surrounding area around the river mouth is called the Danube Delta and is a large swampy region. It is also Europe’s largest river delta. One of the best ways to discover the river is by cruise but you can also visit the delta just as a day trip. The main attraction to visit the Danube is to see all the magnificent nature and scenic views in this area. You are free to explore the many rivers, canals, marshes, lakes and islands. This natural area is also rich in wildlife and home to the highest concentration of bird colonies in Europe, over 300 species of birds make this place their home. Egyptian pelicans come here to breed and raise their young, while Arctic geese can be found here as they escape the cold northern winters.

Bukovina

In the north of Romania, somewhat hidden between forested mountains and green hills, you can find the Bukovina region, arguably one of Romania’s most stunning places. Bukovina borders Ukraine to the north and Moldovia to the east. This area is unique and the perfect destination for the culture and history lovers among us because of its many medieval orthodox churches. These UNESCO fortified and painted monasteries are historically fascinating. They are decorated with beautiful colorful frescoes on both the inside and exterior of the buildings. Besides the beautifully painted churches, the region is famous for its folklore, picturesque villages and colorful population.

Maramures

The beautiful Maramures with its high green hills and hospitable inhabitants is a region in northern Romania. It is situated on the northeastern part of the Carpathian mountain range. The Maramures are a unique area in Romania because it is located far enough from the sphere of influence of Bucharest and has remained relatively unchanged over the centuries. This is a stunning area is suitable for walking tours. You can hike over hills and through valleys while encountering farmers working the land and shepherds walking with their herds. You’ll also visit traditional old villages with their unique architecture and see craftsmen at work. The region is famous for its ancient wooden churches, wood sculptures on the houses, cherished traditions, good food and beautiful landscapes. It’s a cultural and outdoor destination with both scenic views and learning opportunities.

Sibiu

Sibiu is a city in Transylvania, in central Romania, and is one of the most important cultural centers of Romania. In the immediate vicinity of the city you will find several mountain ranges such as Cindrel Mountains and Făgăraș Mountains. Sibiu is one of those types of towns, where you can stroll around for hours. The city is charming and historical merchant houses fill the city center. Large town squares are beautiful and feature old palaces and Saxon churches and towers. The most beautiful buildings in Sibiu are located around the Piața Mare square. Another iconic sight of Sibiu are The Eyes of Sibiu, which you can find everywhere on the roofs of Sibiu's houses. All in all, Sibiu is a great destination to spend a few days and explore the city and its surroundings. There is plenty to see and do.

The Berca Mud Volcanoes

Nearby Berca, there are several places with a rare natural phenomenon: mud volcanoes, which are created by escaping gasses from deep underground that push up water and mud. The road to the mud volcanoes is very beautiful, especially when the sunlight shines on the mountains, which gives amazing views. The mud volcanoes are something special. It is very fascinating to see how the mud is constantly moving. These mud volcanoes are one of the most interesting natural locations in Romania. This park has been a protected area since 1924. And due to landslides, deforestation, torrential rain and mudslides, an eerie and moon-like landscape has emerged here as there is no vegetation immediately around the volcanoes.
