Siebenbürgen, Danube Delta & Co.: These highlights should not be missed
An adventurous journey through Romania takes you to a multitude of impressive places and sights. Most notably, Transylvania, with its medieval towns and mystical atmosphere, is a must-see. Visit Sighișoara, the birthplace of Dracula, and explore the winding streets and historic buildings. In Brașov, the imposing Black Church awaits you, while Sibiu, the European Capital of Culture, captivates with its unique charm. An optional visit to Bran Castle, the famed Dracula's Castle, completes the experience.
Another highlight is the Moldavian monasteries, particularly Voroneț, often called the “Sistine Chapel of the East” due to its impressive frescoes. The Sucevița Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also worth a visit. Nature lovers should not miss a boat trip through the Danube Delta, a unique biosphere reserve.
In addition to these main attractions, there are many other noteworthy places in Romania. Visit Bucharest, the capital with its diverse architecture, or explore Maramureș with its traditional wooden churches and authentic village life.

Culinary experiences are, of course, a must on your journey. Enjoy a traditional Romanian dinner with folk music or take part in a sparkling wine tasting in Azuga. For nature lovers, hiking in the Carpathians, such as in the Trascău Mountains or Piatra Craiului National Park, is recommended. Visit the Bicaz Gorge National Park and the Red Lake or take a ride on the Mocănița, a historic narrow-gauge railway. A Danube Delta cruise is an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts.
History buffs can visit medieval towns like Sighișoara, Sibiu, and Brașov, explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, and visit castles like Bran Castle or Peleș Castle.
