My trip to Romania was my first solo trip abroad and it was amazing 😍 The locals were so friendly! Especially when I was hiking on my own and they invited me to join them. I started with visiting Constanta during off season and it was very empty and peaceful. Bucharest has plenty of beautiful green places around the city which I loved. I finished in Brasov area with a lot of hiking and visiting castles and I highly recommend you go there too!

Bucharest gets a bad rap online but whilst it's not an amazing destination in itself, it can actually be a really pleasant base for the rest of Romania. There's not a lot of obvious attractions but if you look a little off the beaten path, take day trips out or even explore the more "free range" musuems there's actually plenty to do. The Old Town is cheesy but has some genuinely great nightlife nestled near with some pretty architecture too. My top tips would be to check out the fascinating contrast of Vacaresti national park and take the "ghosts and folklore" walking tour through the city.

Brasov was absolutely amazing, the perfect encapsulation of both the natural beauty and fascinating cultural history of Romania. It was safe, welcoming and relatively inexpensive with excellent food. Tip tip - don't miss the Piatra Craiului national park.

The food is not bad but there are not many options for vegetarians. We stayed in a very comfortable b&b and the price was reasonable. We spent around 200 euros for a total of 4 days between food and activities. We went to the famous Bucharest thermal baths and visited the city where the presumed Dracula lived.

I felt quite safe in Romania – the streets were clean, green, and well-maintained. People were generally friendly and smiled a lot, which made the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. Even though not many people spoke Turkish, especially outside restaurants or tourist spots, communication was still manageable. One thing I really appreciated was how shop staff respected our space. Unlike in Turkey, where employees often follow you closely, in Romania they gave us distance and only approached when we needed help. A small note for future visitors: if you order food at a restaurant, it might take quite a while for your meal to arrive, so be patient. Also, in Bucharest, I noticed a significant number of homeless people on the streets, which was a bit surprising. However, they were not aggressive, just part of the city’s reality. Still, walking around and experiencing the tidy and green environment was enjoyable. Romania is truly a beautiful and organized country with its own unique character.

Oradea is a peaceful city oriented towards family life, however, the general values and opinions of people are conservative, misogynistic, and most women have internalized misogyny.
