Romania Castles, Legends and Landscapes

Romania is located in southeastern Europe and is known for the forested region of Transylvania, the spectacular Carpathian Mountains and for being the home of Vlad the Impaler. Or Dracula, as many call him.

The country is also home to many churches, castles and monasteries, and you could truly spend weeks here exploring all of the incredible sights to see.

A Stroll Through Bucharest's Past

The capital city of Bucharest has been nicknamed ‘Little Paris’ due to its elegant architecture and beautiful tree-lined avenues resembling the French capital.

Be sure to check out the Old Town of Lipscani whilst visiting the city. The traditional cobbled streets are now a treasure trove of delightful cafes, bars and boutique shops for travellers to wander.

You can’t visit Bucharest without taking in the Parliamentary Palace spectacle. This vast building is the world’s largest administrative building and holds museums, offices and reception halls. Visit one of the museums in the building to get a full idea of the size.

Discover Dracula's Castle

No visit to Romania can be complete without a trip to Dracula’s castle. Bran Castle is one of the most popular tourist spots due to it being the possible inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s Dracula – although no one knows how much it inspired Stoker, the legend has stuck.

Take a trip to Transylvania and visit the beautiful city of Brasov with its famous gothic Black Church. Outdoor lovers will rejoice in hiking in the stunning Carpathian Mountains. You can spot glacial lakes and walk through mystical forests on the many hiking trails in Retezat National Park.

A UNESCO World Heritage sight not to be missed is the Painted Monasteries of Bukovina. Here, you can see the country’s history told through beautifully painted murals and art
