A journey to the incredible north of Romania
The north of the country is an area with totally wild and dazzling nature. Therefore, your first destination could be the beautiful Snagov monastery. This place is totally dreamy.
The monastery itself can only be accessed by boat, as it is located on a small island surrounded by a beautiful garden. It is certainly worth discovering. It is also a very important place in Romania, since the tomb of Vlad Tepes, the supposed Dracula, is located there.
The next area you can visit is Câmpina. Here you will find castles and towns full of charm and legends. Like, for example, a huge palace built by a writer and philosopher in line with what his dead daughter dictated to him in his dreams.
This is a very well known and popular route. So, don't worry, you will be able to find stalls or places to get food or whatever you need. Be sure to taste the delicious Romanian gastronomy, it will surprise you.
Finally, the last point along this route could be Targoviste. This city has a beautiful history, and we suggest discovering all it has to offer, which is no small feat.
Travel to Transylvania
This is probably the most famous, touristic and well-known region in Romania. That's why you can't miss it. It is not only the site of the famous castle of Vlad Tepes, The Impaler, a national hero in Romania. There are also a number of natural parks and beautiful areas to fall in love with.
The crown jewel in this area is undoubtedly the Bucegi Natural Park. An incredible display of all the power and magic found in Romanian nature.
Our advice is to visit at any time of the year as you simply have to see it. Lakes, villages and culture will be waiting for you here.
This is a perfect road trip to discover Romania. In fact, if this is your first time traveling to a post-Soviet country, it is an excellent option. This area, so cultural and monumental, is very similar to other places in Europe.
Continue to Brasov
Following the route through Transylvania (since it is quite a large region) there are many enclaves that you cannot miss. One of them is the city of Brasov. It is considered the most beautiful city in Romania, and no wonder.
It is a city of spectacular beauty. It will remind you, if you get to know the area, of some of the most beautiful cities in the Czech Republic, or even Budapest. With monumental architecture that is not to be missed.
This is not the only charming enclave in the region. Don't forget to visit Mount Tampa or Lake Vidraru. If you have never been to the hinterland of Eastern Europe, you will see that much of the life of this region is concentrated around the lakes.
Therefore, if you go in summer you can enjoy this experience even more. But in winter too there is a lot of life here.
The beautiful Sovata region
As we have seen, the beautiful and interesting parts of Romania are often found in its nature, and not so much in the cities. Well, Sovata is the perfect example of this reality.
A place of serenity, surrounded by forests, mountains and tranquility. Arriving by car and then continuing on foot is a great option. If you are a hiking enthusiast, you cannot miss this region. It is, without a doubt, totally spectacular.
