Romania by Exotik

What Exotik can offer

Travelers limiting themselves to chasing vampires will miss so much. The capital, Bucharest, has its critics, but the blend of grotesque communist monuments and purposefully hidden-away cathedrals makes for fascinating exploring. Excellent hiking, biking and skiing are found all over the Transylvanian Alps (also known as the Carpathian Mountains), which curl across central Romania. Farmhouse B&Bs allow guests to soak up some village life, particularly in the bucolic paradises of Maramureş and Southern Bucovina, where cemeteries and monasteries are painted as boldly as pop-art paintings.

Cities

Bucharest

One of the biggest cities in Eastern Europe, Bucharest is a vibrant and modern city with an interesting mix of old and new architecture, affordable shopping, vibrant night scene and cultural life as well as many museums and monuments to see. It is also the capital, a major transportation hub and port of entry in Romania. If you are traveling for the first time in Bucharest, you will quickly be enchanted by the many centers of interest that a city like Bucharest can be. If you want a glimpse of the destination or simply a place where you amused, Bucharest mixes traditions.

Brasov

This is a remarkably relax city. Wander its maze of streets, stopping for caffeine injections at bohemian cafes between losing yourself in a beguiling coalescence of Austro-Hungarian gingerbread roofs, baroque gods, medieval spires and Soviet flat-tops. The city’s centerpiece square is Piaţa Sfatului, a people-watcher’s Mecca. There are myriad things to see here, great restaurants and oodles of accommodation. Many use Brasov as a base for skiing in nearby Poiana Brasov, trekking in the Piatra Craiului National Park, castle-watching at Bran and hairy drives on the Transfagarasan Road.

Bran Castle

Bran Castle, which tourists from around the world nicknamed it “Castle of Dracula”, is reputed to be one of the most famous monuments of medieval architecture. Although Romania is rich in history and ancient architecture, Bran Castle is probably the largest and most famous example. His glory is associated with the Count Dracula, the main character of the novel of the 19th century Bram Stoker, Dracula. Tourists inevitably familiarize with the Romanian folk legends during their stay. Facing the flatlands and backed by mountains, the 60m-tall Bran Castle is spectacular. If you can manage to avoid bottlenecks from tour groups that appear in waves, you may enjoy the largely renovated interiors and claustrophobic nooks and crannies
