Transylvania may have captured the imagination when it comes to Romania, but the country has much more to offer than the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Romania's Black Sea Coast is home to Europe's only pure white sand beaches, a far cry from the gothic vibes of Bran Castle. Bucharest, once called "Little Paris" due to its Belle Époque architecture, is a bustling metropolis with interesting museums, beautiful tree-lined boulevards, and trendy nightlife.
In the countryside, small medieval towns whisk you back in time as you traverse rugged landscapes leading to towering castles. In the fall, a wave of red and gold washes over the breathtaking valleys in the Carpathian Mountains. Nestled nearby is the medieval city of Brasov, known for its walled fortifications and intricate architecture that is used as a backdrop in a number of period movies.
No matter what draws you to Romania, expect a rush of inspiration on every corner as you set off on trails that you've likely never seen before.
Set apart from Europe's main tourist track, uncharted adventure awaits you in Romania. Explore art and culture in Bucharest, the urban gem of Eastern Europe. Learn stories of ancient battles on Transfăgărășan Road, one of the world's most stunning routes. Stretch your legs in the lush valleys and crisp peaks of the Carpathian Mountains. Untouched forest, hilltop castles, and medieval villages aren't all that make Romania special — experience it firsthand and you'll understand!
If you're travelling Romania, you'll find that people are friendly. When greeting people, shaking hands is the most common greeting, but close friends will hug or kiss each other on the cheek. Romanian is the official language and used throughout the country. However, Hungarian and German are spoken in some parts of the country.
