Romania is situated amidst a beautiful landscape, painted monasteries, castles, and fortified churches.
Former Saxon communities like Brașov and Sibiu exude beauty amid the picturesque cities of the Carpathians.
On the other hand, Bucharest is the capital city, which is busy but full of energy and history.
Being a Romanian citizen myself, I can make up a thousand reasons why you should visit this country.
If that seems too far-fetched, you can download movies like The Dying of the Light, A Farewell to Fools, and The Whistleblower from the Pirate Bay, and see the beautiful landscape of the country.
Now, let’s check the reasons why this country is worth a visit.
1: Rich Heritage
The painted churches of Moldavia, the Danube Delta, the historic center of Sighișoara, and the Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians are some of its most famous sites.
Moreover, the Dacian fortresses of the Orăştie Mountains, the Monastery of Horezu, and the Villages with fortified churches in Transylvania are also pretty stunning.
You can also explore other regions of Europe alongside the Wooden Churches of Maramureş, which are just a few of Romania’s World Heritage Sites.
2: Customs And Legends
Legends and customs are still alive and well in Romania, and they play an important role in Romanians’ life, particularly at religious feasts.
To ward off bad spirits, nearly everyone will get carolers at Christmas, paint eggs red and knock them on Easter, and cover their door and window sills with garlic on St. Andrew’s Day.
3: Folk Music
Romanian folk culture has witnessed a renaissance in recent years, and local designers and artisans are continuously rediscovering and reinterpreting it.
The traditional Romanian blouse, in particular, is worn by women of all ages and is commemorated by a local NGO through an annual event.
4: History
Romania has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with 34,950-year-old human bones discovered near Caraș-Severin in 2002 being among Europe’s oldest.
Major ideologies and battles that swept over Europe molded the country’s history in modern times, leaving behind a distinctive combination of collective experiences and beliefs.
5: Architecture
Beautiful historical architecture may be seen all around the nation, but notably in Bucharest, where many fine structures were created during the First and Second World Wars.
Unfortunately, new contemporary blocks of flats may be seen among the city’s beautiful art deco and 19th-century structures.
Nonetheless, exploring and discovering the capital city is a lot of fun.
6: Scenic Beauty
In Romania, there are a plethora of fascinating spots to visit. The nation has a wide range of landscapes.
From over 3,000-meter-high mountain summits to hills and plains, the Danube Delta, and the Black Sea coast, there is something for everyone.
In this nation, there are several rivers, streams, and lakes.
7: Affordable
Romania is still an affordable vacation with a lot of bang for your buck.
In comparison to other European nations, hotel and meal rates are quite affordable. Food is also fairly affordable.
The cost of a loaf of bread is $0.30. Beef tenderloin costs $3.50 per pound. A domestic beer bottle costs $1.50.
It’s for this reason that Romania is one of Europe’s most affordable nations to visit.
8: Good Food
Romanians are passionate about cuisine. You’ll find warm faces eager to give you homemade meals wherever you go in Romania.
If you’re going to a restaurant, keep in mind that Romanian food still has some Germanic, Turkish, and Hungarian influences, but it still has its own distinct flavor.
This Eastern European country is home to many historic restaurants with magnificent interiors, exquisite woodwork, and painted ceilings, in addition to delicious meals.
9: Friendly People
In Romania, people have a proverb called ‘nothing counts more than the people.’
Romanians are known for their kindness and hospitality. The fact that people speak English in every area of the nation is a plus.
The younger generation will happily share their perspectives or offer advice, or at the very least, send you in the right way.
10: Plenty Of Castles
There are no shortages of beautiful scenery and jaw-dropping castles nestled on rocky hilltops in the area where Dracula lived.
Although Bran Castle has a very tenuous link to Bram Stoker’s story, other locations such as Peleș Castle and the 14th-century Corvin Castle are similarly distinctive.
Romania is awash in gorgeous castles in varying states of restoration, owing to its tremendously rich medieval heritage.
