Garden Apartment close to Airport. Show More. There are also stories about some very large red frogs that have been seen in this forest. Some strange cases have also been reported, in which it rained, but only on the meter surface. Maramures is a region known mostly for two things: the Merry Cemetery from Sapanta and the abundance of wooden churches in this area.
The wooden churches have very interesting carvings, a sign of the ability of local craftsmen that still practice this craft to this day. However, one of the most interesting churches is the Peri Monastery, which can also be found in Sapanta.
It has a 7 meter high cross that weighs kilos, placed at the top of the church that is 78 meters high. The Romanian Carpathian Mountains are home to the largest virgin forests in Europe, where more than unique mammalian species live, including the Black Cape. So, a hiking tour in the Carpathians is always an adventure and you might have the opportunity to photograph bears in their natural habitat.
Granted, organ pipe concerts are not as common, nor as appreciated as they used to be, but if you want to hear the sound of an authentic organ pipe in all its glory, the Black Church from Brasov is the place to go. Not only is this church the largest gothic style church in this part of Europe, but it also has two valuable assets — the largest organ pipe in Eastern Europe, consisting of 4, tubes and the largest church bell in Romania, having a weight of 6.
Sculpted in the rocky shores of the Danube, the statue is the highest stone carving in Europe. Here, in the place where the wonderful artwork depicts Decebal, the Danube reaches its highest depth — meters. Not a single person who visits Bucharest can miss the opportunity to take a tour of the Palace of Parliament , the second largest administrative building in the world, next to the Pentagon.
Some sources say that about 20, workers worked in this construction, in three shifts and no less than architecture and design specialists were involved. It features over traditional homes and buildings, including water mills and windmills, huge wine, fruit and oil presses, hydraulic forks, and much more.
Anyone who visits ASTRA Museum can see more than folk architecture and folk monuments, with a thematic route dedicated to ethnic minorities, with a sensory trail that allows knowing traditional civilization through diverse experiences and many cultural and entertainment events organized throughout the year. In Romania there is the only museum dedicated to gold in Europe.
The gold museum is in Brad, Hunedora County and houses nearly 2, gold exhibits from all over the world. Romania is also recognized at European level as the country with the most gold resources. Bucharest is the most prosperous Romanian city and the 4th most populated European capital. Bucharest is also regarded as the European city with the highest tourism potential for development. Check out my recommendations as a local on some amazing things to see and do in Bucharest, Romania.
I also recommend checking our some rooftop bars in Bucharest , try the vegan restaurants and check out the only urban delta in Europe, Vacaresti Delta in Bucharest. Another thing about Romania that attracts a lot of tourists each year is the breathtaking landscape. Romania has a diverse geography and it is famous for its Carpathian Mountains. The highest peak is Moldoveanu Peak m but there are many natural parks that offer plenty of trails and hiking inspiration.
And it is the heaviest building in the world. It is literally sinking. This is one of those curious and fun things about Romania to tell your friends. It was commanded by the former communist leader, Nicolae Ceausescu, who was inspired to build it after a visit to North Korea.
He wanted Romania to have the greatest building in the world, made exclusively with Romanian materials. It has over rooms and so many halls that you can get lost in it. Dacia is the most famous car brand from Romania, which takes its name from the ancient historical region of what we call today Romania. Dacia was founded during the communist times, in , but the French group Renault owns it since I have debated with a friend, whether or not to mention the beautiful women as a point for which Romania is known, and I have decided to be fully transparent.
Romania is known all around the world for its beautiful women. It sounds weird, but it is true. Men especially find this a cool conversation starter when engaging with a Romanian woman.
When I was in Jordan, a few locals asked my boyfriend where we are from and then they pointed out that Romania has beautiful women and asked my boyfriend how much he paid for me. Maybe it was a joke because they told us they were looking for Romanian wives. While Transfagarasan literally unites two regions of Romania over the highest mountains in the country , it is not the only road you can take between the two regions.
Read everything you need to know about it on my ultimate guide for Transfagarasan. Check out this vlog from Transalpina on my YouTube channel.
Both roads are opened only during the summer June — September, but it can vary each year , and they have some restrictions. Driving on either of these roads is forbidden at night. The Romanian Danube Delta is second largest in Europe, but it is the best-preserved delta on the old continent.
Romania is also famous as a poor country and for its gipsy minority. Unfortunately, Romania has some bad tags attached to its name, and I will not hide this from you. They are, in the end, not only bad tags, and the entire thing is more complicated than that.
Yes, there are some poor regions in Romania, but I highly doubt you will get to see them or even hear of them if you come to Romania just for a short while. Also, Romania is very much developed, and it is probably one of the best destinations to live in Europe, at the moment, if you have a well-paid job. And they are the most affordable. By the way, did you know that people from all around Europe come to Romania for dental work?
Yes, it is true. Also, to brag a little, Romania ranks high as a leading country of professionals in many industries but shines when it comes to IT. Oh, and Romania has one of the best internet speed and data connection services on the planet.
Is that what you associate a poor country with? In fact, most of the Eastern European and Balkan countries have a gipsy minority living within their borders.
It is believed that they originated from India, and made it this far due to their nomadic nature. As many countries worldwide, we have some minorities living in Romania, and the gypsy minority is one of them.
They have their specific culture and traditions, and they rarely like to mix with other cultures.
