Although Romania is not one of the most touristic countries in Europe, it has a lot to offer: from the most cosmopolitan cities to the rural hinterland, to national parks and natural beauty spots.
Perhaps the place that most rings a bell is Transylvania, the region made famous by Dracula. Here are located some of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, such as Brasov, with its ancient Saxon architecture, Sighisoara, with its citadel and clock tower of the fourteenth century, Cluj-Napoca, with its beautiful historic center, or Sibiu, with its colorful houses and cobbled streets. And let's not forget to mention the Castle of Vlad Tepes, better known for the nineteenth-century myth of Dracula, in Bran.
Its capital, Bucharest, offers a combination of beautiful old neighborhoods, gardens, and majestic buildings, so it's nice to stay there while enjoying the nightlife and sightseeing. No matter what time of day it is. The center of Bucharest is always full of people ready to fill terraces, penthouses, bars, restaurants, and stores. And we cannot talk about Bucharest without mentioning the gigantic building of the Palace of Parliament, another 'gift' of the communist years that today looks like one of the symbols of the city.
Romania can be visited all year round but the best time would be during the summer, when all the Black Sea resorts are widely open to tourists from all over the world, offering the best amenities you can imagine. Visiting Romania in the winter is also welcome, as due to its location, it has a temperate and continental climate.
