Where to Go

Romania is not one destination, and treating it as one is how people end up spending a week in transit. These are the regions worth building a trip around, and what each is actually like.

Regions

Romania's main regions

Each region has a different landscape, history and pace. Transylvania is the usual place to begin.

Bucharest & Wallachia

Most trips to Romania start and end here, and most of them treat it as an airport. Bucharest repays a day or two — but it is a different country from Transylvania, and it helps to arrive expecting that.

Bucovina & Painted Monasteries

Monastery walls painted on the outside, in the open air, five hundred years ago — and still legible. There is nothing else quite like this in Europe, and it is worth the drive north.

Danube Delta & Black Sea

Europe’s largest and best-preserved delta, and the one place in Romania where the road stops and a boat is the only way onward. Come for the birds, stay for the silence.

Maramureș & Northern Romania

The part of Romania where the old way of doing things is not a performance for visitors. Wooden churches with needle spires, carved gates, and a cemetery that treats death as something to be honest about.

Transylvania

The part of Romania most people come for, and the part that rewards a slow trip most. Three walled towns within two hours of each other, seven UNESCO villages between them, and the Carpathians closing the whole thing in.

Turn regions into a route

Once you have chosen a region, the itineraries show how it connects — which cities work as a base, what fits in three days, and where a longer trip is worth it.
