At the mention of Romania, Transylvania and the eerie image of Count Dracula will pop up in the imagination of the majority. The legendary progenitor of vampires has really become a kind of "visiting card" of the country - almost a quarter of the historical places in Romania are somehow connected with the life of Vlad Tepes.
But Romania is not only about excursions in the footsteps of Dracula. This is also a visit to the most beautiful medieval castles, walks along the picturesque streets of Bucharest, Brasov and Sighisoara, skiing in ski resorts, and relaxing on the beaches of the Black Sea coast.
The main attractions are concentrated around the architectural creations of different eras. The most popular tourist locations in the country are:
- Bran Castle, where according to legend Dracula himself lived;
- Deva, Peles and Pelisor castles;
- Cantacuzino Palace and Cotroceni Palace in Bucharest;
- Alba Iulia fortress;
- Romanian Athenaeum;
- Sighisoara Fortress;
- Corvin Castle;
- Sucevitsa Monastery and Horezu Monastery;
- National Museum of Art and History Museum, etc.
Natural attractions of Romania are also famous. More than 5% of the country's territory falls on reserves and national parks, and the majestic Carpathians are not only breathtaking landscapes, but also a developed infrastructure of ski resorts.
In recent years, the hotel base in Romania has significantly changed. Today, you can find different accommodation options here - from good-quality 4 and 5-star hotels in large cities and near ski resorts, to more budget accommodation - 2, 3-star hotels, pensions and hostels. The latter, however, can be found only in large excursion cities - Bucharest, Sighisoara and Sibiu.
