🇷🇴 Romania 🇷🇴

Romania offers tourists unique travel opportunities, from exploring ancient castles and picturesque mountain landscapes to immersing in the rich culture and traditions of the country.

Here are some of the coolest places in Romania for every type of traveler:

🟡 Transfăgărășan Highway – A mountain road stretching over 100 kilometers through the Romanian Carpathians. This narrow strip of asphalt crosses the mountain range, connecting Wallachia and Transylvania, significant historical regions of the country.

🟡 Turda Salt Mine – One of the oldest salt extraction sites in Romania. This former salt mine in Turda was operational even before the Romans arrived. Today, it houses a cultural and recreational complex as well as a wellness center. Breathing in the salty air is very beneficial, and you can also enjoy boat rides on the underground lake.

🟡 Peleș Castle – Located in the picturesque Carpathians, it is considered one of the most luxurious palaces in Europe. Construction of this unique Neo-Romanesque building began in the early 1880s under Romanian King Carol I.

🟡 Therme București – A major attraction near Bucharest, this is the largest European spa and wellness center. It features over 500 palm trees and 800,000 (!) different plants brought from around the world. You’ll truly feel like you’re in a jungle, surrounded by fragrant and lush vegetation while enjoying water activities or sipping a cocktail.

🟡 The Clay Castle of the Fairies – This charmingly named place is enough to spark an irresistible desire to visit. It’s not an actual castle but an eco-friendly guesthouse built entirely from natural materials: clay, wood, sand, and straw. Located in the Valley of the Fairies, in the village of Porumbacu de Sus, it is far from the noise and civilization, surrounded by mountains, forests, and fresh air.
