Festivals en evenementen

The country's most famous region is a treasure trove of medieval cities founded by the Saxons, such as Sighișoara, Brașov and Sibiu. It is dotted with fortified churches and legendary castles such as Bran or Corvin.

The Romanian capital is a fascinating mix of Belle Époque elegance (for which it was nicknamed 'Little Paris'), communist brutalist architecture and vibrant modernity. The Parliament Palace and the charming old town are must-sees.

These northern regions are the traditional soul of the country. Maramureș captivates with its elaborate wooden churches and the Merry Cemetery. Bucovina is home to the Painted Monasteries, a World Heritage Site.

Driving on the Transfăgărășan Highway

Rated one of the most spectacular roads in the world, the Transfăgărășan winds through the Carpathian Mountains, offering dizzying views, hairpin bends and stunning alpine landscapes. Built for military reasons, today it is an unforgettable adventure for any driver (open only in summer).

Explore Dracula's Castle

Visit Bran Castle, perched on a rock on the border of Transylvania and Wallachia. Although its connection to Vlad the Impaler is tenuous, its imposing silhouette, its towers and its secret passages perfectly embody the legend of Dracula created by Bram Stoker.

Smile at Death in the Joyful Cemetery

In the village of Săpânța, in Maramureș, there is a cemetery unique in the world. Each grave is marked by a brightly colored wooden cross, with a poetic and often humorous epitaph recounting the life and circumstances of death of the buried person. It is a moving celebration of life.

Deciphering the Frescoes of the Painted Monasteries

Visiting the monasteries of Bucovina (such as Voroneț, Moldovița or Sucevița) is like reading an illustrated Bible on the outside walls. Its impressive frescoes, painted in the 15th and 16th centuries to teach illiterate peasants, have survived the elements and are a World Heritage Site.

Born in a Medieval City

Stroll through the cobblestone streets of Sighișoara, the best preserved inhabited medieval citadel in Europe. Climbing its Clock Tower, exploring its colorful houses and visiting the house where Vlad the Impaler is said to have been born is a true journey through time.

Spot Bears in their Natural Habitat

The Romanian Carpathians are home to the largest population of brown bears in Europe. Taking a guided excursion to an observatory in the Transylvanian forests at sunset offers a high chance of seeing these majestic animals in their natural environment. It is an exciting and respectful experience.

Currency

The official currency is the Romanian Leu (RON). Although Romania is a member of the EU, it does not use the euro. Card payment is widespread in cities, but it is essential to carry cash for rural areas.

Internal Transportation

Trains are a good option for covering long distances between major cities, although they can be slow. Buses and minibuses ('maxitaxi') are more efficient for shorter routes. Renting a car is the best option for flexibility and exploring remote areas, but road quality can be variable.

Language

The official language is Romanian, a Romance language. English is increasingly common among young people and in the tourism sector. Hungarian and German are also spoken in some areas of Transylvania.
