Romania Tourist Attractions

Discover the trails and tales of the best places to visit in Romania

Nestled on the Balkan Peninsula, Romania is a European country flaunting a strong yet mysteriously unique character. Full of contrasts, the country has abundance of pulsating western cities on one side while the other end features rustic old towns along with Gothic-era buildings and churches running along the cobblestone streets that seem to have stood still in time.

History is something that Romania is definitely never short of. Medieval castles and old towns dot the country – notably in Sighişoara and Bucharest that feel like a place straight from the pages of a fairytale; in the Bran Castle of region Brașov, you’ll find more about history of the legendary Dracula and not to forget, the Peles Castle, one of the most stunning Romania Tourist Attractions, is a new-Renaissance architectural masterpiece that you should definitely not miss. Not only is history an integral part of the country’s magnetic appeal, its diverse landscape, crammed with thick forests, remote mountain passes, rugged hills and gorgeous plains cast a magical spell with their scenic beauty. Along with these, the chic mountain resorts, cafes, glitzy restaurants and a burgeoning art scene, add to the modern beauty of Romania. Just a few days in the journey to Romania Attractions and you will be bowled over by its beauty. From the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Danube Delta to the beautiful, undamaged, medieval towns, from Romania's lively capital city Bucharest to the Black Sea, from wild Carpathian Mountains to the unmissable Turda Salt Mine, from Transylvania to painted monasteries in Bucovina or wooden churches and old villages at Maramures, every place and corner of this country deserves appreciation and attention.

The first point of arrival for many visitors is the capital city, Bucharest and no Romania itinerary is ever complete without mentioning the Top Bucharest Tourist Attractions. A wonderful mix of the old and new, medieval buildings and churches thriving along the city centre’s growing gastronomic scene, a wave of artisan coffee joints and art aplenty- Bucharest has a unique appeal attached to it. Once known as the “Little Paris of the East”, the capital city even today, is delightfully off the tourist’s radar which is considered quite a blessing for those still wanting to discover the interesting Bucharest Attractions.

Tie up your shoelaces and get going to explore the mysteriously beautiful Romania tourist places mentioned below along with some unmissable places to visit in Bucharest - You won’t regret it!
