Bucharest

Many would say that Bucharest isn’t a really beautiful city. I would disagree. Bucharest has some of the best attractions in the country. And largely due to the fact that the city’s face was heavily destroyed under the communist regime, the city still holds beauty with some scars. And also there are a lot of towns and other places worth visiting near Bucharest, hence the capital of Romania comes first in our list. Most expectedly, if you are visiting Romania, you are most likely to land in the capital city, so Bucharest is the most obvious place to begin your journey from in most cases.

The Palace of Parliament is a popular tourist attraction, the world’s second largest building and the heaviest building in the world with 1100 rooms in 12 storeys, a gigantic structure. The Obor market is a large and lively place which can be visited. Apart from it, the Carturesti Carusel is a beautiful book store in old Bucharest. The open-air Dimitrie Gusti Village Museum displays models of Romanian houses throughout centuries. The city has a rich and energetic metropolitan vibe as well as the old city offers an air filled with historical fragrance.

Sighişoara

The story of the famous (or infamous) Count Dracula comes right into our mind whenever we hear about Romania or its fantasy legends. Sighisoara is the place where the birth of this legendary ‘Vlad the Impaler’ took place. Located in the heart of the historically beautiful region of Transylvania, this 12^th century Saxon town has beauty in its veins. The pastel colored houses on gorgeous cobbled streets attract every visitor.

The beauty of the town earned itself a UNESCO World Heritage status in 1999 and Sighisoara got recognized as one of the most beautiful and best preserved medieval towns in entire Europe. To get an amazing view of the whole town and look at the surroundings from a different view, I suggest you climb to the top of the famous clock tower and enjoy the view. Also, it has a fine little museum which you’ll enjoy exploring. Shared and group trips from Bucharest can take you to various cities and towns in the Transylvanian region.

Braşov

Braşov is another incredibly beautiful Transylvanian town which has the best of both worlds.

This is supposed to be the place in stories where the Pied Piper led the children of Hamlin. Cover the slender street of Strada Sforii, possibly one of the narrowest streets in Europe at just 4 feet. Then you can take a cable car to the famous Mount Tâmpa for an amazing view of the town and the Carpathian Mountains. You can also notice the name Brasov on the mountain, similar to the Hollywood sign on Mt. Lee in Los Angeles.
