Romania is a country located in southeastern Europe, known for its beautiful landscapes, rich history and culture. With its medieval castles, charming towns and majestic mountains, Romania is a must-visit destination.

One of the most visited cities in Romania is Bucharest, the country's capital, which is famous for its unique blend of old-world charm and modern style. You can learn about the city's rich history by visiting attractions such as the Palace of Parliament, the largest administrative building in the world, and the Village Museum, which showcases traditional Romanian architecture and crafts.

Another must-see in Romania is Transylvania, a region located in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains. Transylvania is home to many charming towns and villages, including Brasov, Sighisoara and Sibiu, which are known for their medieval architecture, cobblestone streets and rich cultural offerings. In addition, visit Bran Castle, known as Dracula's Castle, which sits on a hill overlooking the town of Bran.

For those in search of natural beauty, Romania offers many stunning landscapes and outdoor activities. One of the most popular destinations is the Danube Delta, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the second largest river delta in Europe, which is home to more than 300 species of birds and abundant wildlife. The Carpathian Mountains, on the other hand, offer many opportunities for hiking, skiing and other outdoor activities. On the other hand, the beaches on the Black Sea coast provide the perfect escape during the summer months.

Romania is also known for its delicious cuisine, which is a combination of Balkan, Hungarian and Turkish influences. Here you can try traditional dishes such as sarmale, a type of cabbage roll, mici, a type of grilled meatloaf, and cozonac, a sweet bread with walnuts and raisins.
