How to Make the Most of Your Hotel in Romania

Romania’s many storybook medieval castles are a big attraction, including Peles and Bran. Visit the former home of Vlad the Impaler, believed to be the inspiration behind the Dracula myth. See the colossal Palace of Parliament in the capital, Bucharest, and wander the streets of the remaining parts of the old town. Other notable city destinations include Brasov, Sibiu and Timisoara. In the small region of Bucovina in the north you’ll stumble across painted monasteries or take a trip to the salt mine in Turda. With thousands of square miles of pristine forest, complete with historic villages, there’s a hidden and enigmatic quality to Romania that you’ll love to uncover.

Romania is one of the most religious countries in Europe, with ancient churches and monasteries all over, many of which are painted dazzling colours. Explore national parks including Craiului and the Ciucas mountains or take a day trip to Peles or Bran castles from the capital Bucharest. Tour the central region of Transylvania or learn more about the country’s Communist past on a walking tour of the capital, passing the huge Palace of Parliament. It’s one of the biggest administrative buildings in the world, second only to the Pentagon. Head to the Black Sea coast and city of Constanta, and you’ll find some of Europe’s fastest growing resorts. Romania is a country where old and new coexist in the most unusual ways, and it’s great fun walking the lines between them.
