Absolutely loved Romania. I spent time in Bucharest, Sibiu, Hunedoara, Sighişoara, Poiana Brasov, and Ceptura de Jos. Did the Transfagarasan road and a few of the Castles. The trip is one of my favorites. I drove it and found it easy to get around, the people warm and friendly, and very inexpensive.
Posted: March 25, 2023I loved my time at the Black Sea beaches near Constanta. I only did a day trip to Transylvania and wish I had longer because it’s beautiful. I recommend the food tour "markets and mahallas" in Bucharest. Also loved the Romanian village museum in Bucharest.
Posted: March 25, 2023I was with a group of friends but often pulled away from them to do my own thing. During my trip, I spent most of my time in Bucharest, staying in the Old Town area, and also in a rural villa near Brasov. Despite traveling alone, I felt safe and had no issues when using trains, trams, and buses to explore the local area. Even when I accidentally took a train in the wrong direction, I found that people were very willing to offer assistance when asked. One of my most vivid memories of the trip was how helpful and friendly the locals were. I even ventured to an area that was supposedly rough, Ferentari, but had no trouble navigating there and back to Old Town. I highly recommend staying in the Old Town area, which, while touristy, has a vibrant atmosphere and is always bustling with people. The Old Town bric-a-brac market was a particular highlight of my trip, as it had an eclectic mix of vintage designer and everyday jewelry, old money, maps, art, cameras, and other curiosities.
Posted: March 3, 2023I did Romania solo and loved it. Felt very safe, the locals were friendly and helpful. I spent time in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj (to see the salt mine), and went to see the painted churches in the NW region. I travelled around with the train and blabla car.
Posted: November 25, 2022We did Cluj, Apuseni Mountains and Salina Turda (salt mines) with 2 more girls. It was absolutely the best. We stayed in Cluj via couchsurfing. Then we hiked the mountains - got lost there every single time but always got saved by locals. I recommend trying “sarmale” “mamaliga” and their pancakes (can’t remember the name). Romanians do have really delicious cuisine.

Posted: September 25, 2022I was amazed by the beauty of Romania. I went trough Transylvania and visited Bran, Fagras Mountains (recommend if you are into trekking) there are incredibly beautiful landscapes, Retezat National Park another trekking area with amazing views! For cities to be honest I was not much amazed but I rented a car and went trough the rural villages that Romania is surrounded with it, it was an amazing journey. Sighisoara and Maramures were the best places I have visited.
