Romania is a small country in Eastern Europe that started attracting more and more tourists in the past ten years. It has many amazing places that are waiting to be discovered. eHe Here’s ten reasons to visit this beautiful country.
- There’s plenty of tasty food. If there’s one thing we love about Romanians, it is their traditional food. In the Medieval Era, Romania was the place where different cultures met. Romanians have a kitchen that’s inspired by the Turkish culture, the Slavic culture and the Austro-Hungarian culture. They have changed the recipes from these three big cultures and personalized them in a creative-Romanian way. The results are absolutely tasty. Jock from Enchanted Marketing who visited recently is in total agreement. He considers himself a gourmand gourmet. Good food in good quantities and Romania provided that.
- The Peles Castle. It was built by Romania’s first king (Charles the First) as a summer resort for the royal family and it is one of the biggest castles in Eastern Europe.
- Brasov City is one of the most beautiful cities in Romania. It has a medieval city and there are many tourist attractions there. Not very far from Brasov there’s Bran Castle which is widely known as Dracula’s Castle. It was the home of Vlad Tepes, the man that inspired the Dracula legend.
- The Painted Monasteries from Bucovina are unique monasteries that have been built by Romanian leaders during the medieval era after every war that was won by them as a way to thank God for the victory.
