Romania Hotels

Romania in Eastern Europe is one of the Balkan states, located on the Black Sea coast and neighbouring countries include Bulgaria and Moldova. It is perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of Count Dracula but it is its diverse natural landscape which is its greatest attraction. The Danube Delta is recognised by UNESCO as having one of the world’s most biologically diverse areas and its Carpathian Mountains offer stunning opportunities for skiing, hiking and mountain biking. The Black Sea resorts offer unique natural spa rejuvenation breaks, whilst its castles, fortresses and painted monasteries help bring Romania’s rich medieval legacy to life. Central Romania is home to the region of Transylvania, and Dracula tourist attractions aside, is also home to a number of beautiful medieval towns including Sighisoara, Brasov and Sibiu – which was the European Capital of Culture in 2007 due to it having some of the best-preserved historical sites in Romania, a wide variety of museums and exhibitions, and the nearby breathtakingly beautiful Fagaras mountains.

Transylvania’s largest town is Cluj-Napoca which houses one of the largest universities in Europe and is a buzzing, lively and youthful place. The vibrant, bustling capital city of Bucharest is a fascinating mix of Communist-era monuments and wide, tree-lined boulevards with beautiful Belle Epoque buildings and cobbled medieval streets. Romania’s second city, Iasi, is a major cultural and economic hub, whilst Timisoara in the west of the country, is widely deemed to be Romania’s most cosmopolitan city with a hugely attractive mix of architecture, culture and nightlife.

Places to visit in Romania
Here are three suggestions for places to base your visit to Romania

Transylvania

Stories of Dracula have made this region famous, and its well-preserved medieval towns look the part. Brasov has Old Saxon architecture and ruins of a citadel, Sibiu has wonderful cobbled streets and pastel-painted houses, and the fascinating Sighisoara with a hilltop citadel, has secret passageways and a 14th century clock tower. The little shops have antiques and local artisan crafts. Near Brasov and Bran are the 13th century Saxon Towers of the fortified church at Harman. Colourful traditions and heritage are alive and flourishing in the small villages of Transylvania.

Bucharest and Walachia

Walachia has a wealth of historical and natural attractions for the visitor. Start in Bucharest, the capital and largest city, has an old centre "Little Paris" with its heritage French architecture, 37 museums and 22 theatres, 18 art galleries. Explore Calea Victoriei and look at the Romanian Athenaeum and the former Royal Palace now the National Museum of Art. . Beyond Bucharest there are the Carpathian Mountains - and just to the north is the beautiful Prahove Valley with its popular ski resorts of Predeal, Busteni and Sinaia are found. In the summer time these resorts feature hiking trails in the Bucegi Nature Park.

The Dobrogea region and Constanta

The Dobrogea region has the Danube Delta, a UNESCO "Reservation of the Biosphere" wildlife reserve, the ancient port city of Constanta and seaside resorts along the Black Sea Coast. Try a cruise from the port city of Tulcea through the Danube Delta - its floating reed islands, sand dunes and waterways housing 300 species of birds and 1150 species of plants. Constanta has historical monuments and a casino - and is the focal point on Black Sea tourism. A string of fine sandy beaches named after women and mythical gods stretch from Canstanta to the Bulgarian border.
