Best places in Romania to visit
From icons to hidden treasures
Plan and book with vetted local experts
Discover what makes Romania unforgettable





Romania is home to Dracula's castle, but it’s more than just a legend—it’s an adventure waiting to be had. Wander through the dark, winding corridors of Bran Castle, perched high above a misty forest, and feel the eerie atmosphere that makes it one of Europe’s most intriguing sites. If you’re craving history mixed with a bit of thrill, this is where it begins.


Romania is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets for wildlife lovers. Imagine trekking through the Carpathian Mountains, where you could spot wild bears, wolves, and lynx in their natural habitat. Or take a boat ride through the Danube Delta, one of the world’s most biodiverse spots, where nature feels raw and untouched. It’s a true wilderness escape!


Romania is bursting with stories—whether it’s the folk dances of Transylvania, the legendary painted monasteries, or the unique traditions that still thrive today. You’ll find vibrant festivals, charming villages, and local flavors that bring these traditions to life. Romania’s culture isn’t just something you observe; it’s something you feel, taste, and experience at every turn.


Roam through Romania’s medieval towns like Sibiu and Sighisoara, where history still pulses through the cobbled streets. Picture this: colorful buildings, ancient fortifications, and secret alleyways leading to hidden squares. It’s a treasure hunt for the senses, with the added thrill of exploring places that haven’t changed in centuries.

7-day couple trip to Romania
“We used RoughGuides to plan the land-portion of our trip in Romania. We discussed our goals and interests and then agreed on the trip plan, the types of hotels we like, etc. After that, Corina took care of everything. Once we arrived in Bucharest, we were contacted via WhatsApp by Alin, who was our guide and driver for the entire trip. He did a great job driving and explaining things, suggesting restaurants, etc. It was our first time using RoughGuides, and we'd be happy to use them again. Also, we had just finished a cruise where we were often on excursions with 38 of our new best friends - so it was a real joy to be just the three of us (me, my husband, and our guide) in a small car!”

12-day couple trip to Romania
“We organised a 3-week tour of Bulgaria and Romania with Corina through Rough Guides. We couldn't be happier with the result. Corina helped us to plan a tour in line with our interests and requests, while making suggestions to improve our experience. All the guides were experienced, helpful and flexible. The hotels were all in central locations and perfect for our accommodation needs. We learned so much about these two countries and had a great time. We very highly recommend this service.”
