Located on the Balkan Peninsula, Romania is a country of contrasts.

2. BRAȘOV
• Located in central Romania, Brasov boasts everything from dynamic modern city
life to old world charm and fascinating scenery. Surrounded by the Carpathian
Mountains, the city is considered a mountain resort, with skiing and ice skating
facilities.
A top sight is the
Black Church,
a Gothic cathedral
so named because
smoke from a huge
17th century fire
blackened the
stones.

3. SIBIU
• Sibiu, once part of Hungary, dates back to the early 12th century. The city is located in
Transylvania, an area that is associated with vampires, including Dracula, but it’s highly
unlikely that visitors will run across any in this day and age.

4. DANUBE DELTA
• The majority of the Danube Delta, Europe’s
second largest river delta, lies in Romania.
Originally part of the Black Sea, the Danube Delta
is a good place to observe nature. It is home to
many unique species of plants and animals in
Europe

5. CLUJ-NAPOCA
• Home to the country’s largest university, Cluj-
Napoca is considered the unofficial capital of the
historical region of Transylvania. The city, which
pre-dates the Roman colonization, is one of
Romania’s arts and cultural centers. Home to a
large Hungarian population, Cluj-Napoca features
a statue honoring one Hungarian king.

6. MAMAIA-CONSTANȚA
Located on the Black Sea, Mamaia is Romania’s most popular seaside resort.
Mamaia is small, however, situated on a strip of land that is about 8 km (5 miles)
long. It has great white sand beaches, just made for sunning or people-watching.
Mamaia has a water park, but activities are limited for small children. Adults,
however, might enjoy a few lessons at the wind-surfing academy.

7. SINAIA
• Sinaia is a mountain resort town that grew
up around a monastery that was named for
Mount Sinai.
• The monastery, which contains a copy of the
first Bible printed in Romania, is a popular
site today with tourists, who enjoy hiking in
the summer and some pretty tremendous
downhill skiing in the winter. King Charles I
built his summer home, known as Peles
Castle, near here; it also is a popular tourist
attraction.

8. PAINTED MONASTERIES
Among the most picturesque
attractions of Romania are the Painted
Monasteries of Bucovina in the
northeastern part of the country. Their
painted exterior walls are decorated
with elaborate 15th and 16th century
frescoes featuring portraits of saints
and prophets, scenes from the life of
Jesus, images of angels and demons,
and heaven and hell. The best-
preserved are the monasteries in
Humor, Moldovita, Patrauti, Probota,
Suceava, Sucevita, and Voronet.

9. TIMIȘOARA
• Located in western Romania,
Timisoara is one of the country’s
largest cities, dating back to the
early 13th century. Once part of the
Ottoman Empire, it was the first
European city to have electric street
lamps. The city has bounced back
after sustaining heavy bombing
damage from both sides during
World War II

10. BUCUREȘTI
Bucharest is a city that combines
the old with the new. Visitors might come
across a centuries-old building, a modern
high rise, and a Communist-style building
all in the same block. This modernizing
European capital boasts the largest
Parliament building in the world with
3,100 rooms and 12 stories high. Tours of
this impressive building, constructed in
1984, are given frequently throughout the
day. Also not to be missed in Bucharest is
the old town center with its narrow
cobblestone streets and old buildings,
including medieval churches.

11. TRANSFAGARASAN ROAD
• This is one of the most gorgeous
highways in the world making the
drive itself worth the trip. The
Transfagarasan Road traverses the
Fagaras Mountains; the tallest
mountains in Romania which are
also known as the Transylvanian
Alps. It takes nerves of steel to
drive this windy, narrow road that
clings to the Fagaras mountainside.
The road passes Fagaras Fortress,
Vidraru Dam and Balea Lake.
