Discover Romania

Romania is one of Europe’s most varied countries: the Carpathian mountains arc through the middle, Transylvania’s Saxon towns and castles sit in the hills, and the Black Sea coast at Mamaia and Constanța brings summer beaches. Cities like Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca add big-festival energy and a fast-growing food and nightlife scene.

It’s a four-season destination — hiking and castles in summer, festivals from spring to autumn, and ski resorts (Poiana Brașov, Sinaia) in winter. Distances are real, so most trips centre on one region: Transylvania (Brașov, Sibiu, Bran), the capital, or the coast.
