Highlights and events in Romania

Interesting to define highlights, it is really provocativ. Much more interesting is to define the highlights of a possible Romanian trip of yours. I could try to simplify it, and declare that all Romania is a highlight, but I won't do that (nevertheless Romania is a must see for everyone).

The Church of Moldovita is a highlight if you go to upper Moldavia(or Bucovina)

Maybe in this season one of the highlights are the the Carpathian Mountains with their ski slopes located all over the country. Besides, taking part to a hunting in Romania could be really an event. Another event is taking part to a pig slaughting to the contryside according to the old tradition. It is really a highlight, and everything tastes so genuine, so special. But you must be very careful, you will put some pounds on!

Please observe in Romania that the nature and the rural society seem to be still o.k., respecting each other

As we are facing a mild winter, for some travelers the Black Sea coast and the city of Constanta have no doubts a strong charm and spell. You will be barely able to recognize the city, or the resort of Mamaia. Everything is so empty and peaceful, comparing with the high season from July and August.

In Winter as in Summer the capital city of Bucharest is really atractive, despite the traffic jams. Every big city is familiar to jams and the lack of parking places, and Bucharest is not an exception (but as mention during the scholar vacations is really a pleasure to drive in Bucharest). With its wonderful museums, its broad avenues, its churches and fountains Bucharest is a pleasant surprise for everyone interested in urban life, or in night life.

The painted churches of Romania are under UNESCO protection (Moldovita again)

For those interested in rural life, please note that even these days almost a half of the Romanians live to the countryside. Amazing, isn't it? Some of those villages are really traditional, and it is really an event visiting them. Here the people and the society seems the be still in order, far away from the modern stressing life. And no matter how poor are these Romanians living to the countryside, everyone of them would invite you inside and treat you like a King or a Queen!

The Romanian gastronomy is another major reason to visit Romania

The Romanians love to speak and adore to communicate. They also double and strenghten their words with generous majestic gesture. There is no way to fear any communication difficulties therefore, for sure!

How to explore Romania like a pro

I can give you now another major reason for visiting Romania: we have a freshly elected President, whose name is Klaus Iohannis. he is a Romanian German, e.g a member of a minority counting 1 % of the population. We can prove hereby that in Romania the democracy works efficiently, and hope also that the emigrated Romanian Germans could come back.

The wonderful city of Brasov is waiting for you very friendly

If you want to know Romania like a pro, start please from the Capital Bucharest, you can surely fly there. Bucharest will charm and spell you with its strong temper and tough personality. Counting 2,3 Millions people, Bucharest is one of the major cities of the European community, and also a spectacular one. Once known as the Little Paris, due to our strong affinities with the French culture, Bucharest is the sixth biggest city of the E.U., a little bit bigger than Budapest and Vienna. Don't miss it, it is a must, a good start for any visit in Romania.

Danube Delta is a natural endless paradise

Further you can continue your trip to Romania with one of the major big cities like Constanta, Iasi, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara or Craiova in order to get a fine picture of the urban life in Romania. Another recommendation would be the cities of Sibiu/Hermannstadt or Brasov/Kronstadt. In the first of it Klaus Iohannis started his political career, leading it for 12 years as a Mayor. We all hope that within 12 years Romania will look the way that Sibiu looks today. It is really a major task and responsability for Mr. Klaus Iohannis.

Downtown Bucharest with a statue of Dracula and the ruins of Middle age court

But further you must discover the deep eternal Romania. You must go therefore to the countryside, where today still lives a half of the Romanian population. Don't expect that all the village in Romania will spoil you with modern ammenities, but the friendliness of the locals will compensate it, making the difference. You will notice here the natural way of life and the well kept traditions, some of them are simply turning to unique events.

Discover the eternal fascinating Romania and its wonderful people to the countryside

These are the highlights of people and land from Romania. Further you can explore like a pro some very interesting cultural sites, Romania is one of the best culture destination you can find on Earth. Visit for example the painted monasteries of Moldavia, or the peasant' fortified churches  of Transivania. Visit also The Danube Delta and the Black Sea coast, or take a walk in the Carpathian mountains. Visit a vineyard and taste some wine (it is a wine country for sure) or an orchard.After a few days you will probably experience a strange feeling, between love, gratitude and belonging.

The Bucharest Triumph Arch has a Paris model and is one of the major reason for calling Bucharest "The Little Paris"
