Romania is a diverse European destination where medieval towns, Carpathian landscapes, historic castles, lively cities and the Danube Delta come together. From Bucharest and Brașov to Sighișoara, Sibiu and the Black Sea coast, the country offers different travel experiences in one trip.
Why Visit Romania?
Romania combines historic architecture with mountain scenery, traditional villages, regional food and a growing city-break scene. Travelers can explore Transylvania, walk through historic centres, visit castles and monasteries, hike in the Carpathians or discover wetlands and wildlife in the Danube Delta.
Top Places to Include
- Bucharest for museums, parks, historic buildings and urban life.
- Brașov and the surrounding Carpathians for mountain scenery.

Romanian Food
Try dishes such as sarmale, mămăligă, ciorbă, mici, cozonac and regional cheeses. Recipes vary considerably between regions, so local restaurants and markets are useful places to discover Romanian cuisine.
Getting Around
Romania has rail and road connections between major cities, while buses and local transport are useful for shorter journeys. For rural areas and mountain destinations, check journey times carefully because routes can take longer than they appear on a map.
Entry and Travel Planning
Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport and travel purpose. Check Romania’s official e-Visa portal before booking and use current government information for entry conditions.
