Romanian Tourism Guide

Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve
The waters of the Danube, which flow into the Black Sea, form the largest and best preserved of Europe’s deltas. The Danube delta hosts over 300 species of birds as well as 45 freshwater fish species in its numerous lakes and marshes.

Fortified churches in Transylvania
The Transylvanian villages with fortified churches provide a vivid picture of the cultural landscape of southern Transylvania. The seven villages inscribed are characterized by the specific land-use system, settlement pattern, and organization of the family farmstead units preserved since the late middle Ages, dominated by their fortified churches, which illustrate building periods from the 13th to 16th centuries.

Those who decide to travel through Romania would probably need to be well-informed, well-advised and highly selective in order to get the most of it, and fully enjoy the experience. Their first question will probably be: “What can Romania actually sell on the tourism market?”

The country can offer a various and harmonious natural heritage, places of beautiful and unspoiled nature in the Carpathian Mountains, along the Black Sea coast, and especially in the Danube Delta, a realm of wildlife which cannot be found elsewhere in Europe. Romanian landscapes seem to have been created by God for those who love nature without reserve.

Then there are those places with a special identity which make up human-made heritage, i.e. historic buildings or art monuments, which bear the distinctive imprint of local history, of the people who have raised them. As a rule, the “consumers” of heritage places, whether in Romania or elsewhere, are those “sensitive” travellers who have an interest in the past, in fine arts or in architecture, which is to say that they have sufficient education to understand the significance of a historical site or monument, to grasp the spirit of the place they visit. They usually associate the heritage place with the constructions of the present, with the local people they meet, and, in a wider sense, with the culture and society of the country they visit.

If you have only a few hours or half a day available, or even you are only traveling through Bucharest, you can join us on one of our fascinating Bucharest City Sightseeing Tours. The themes of the tours vary in accordance with your interests as they focus on different aspects of the history and culture of Romania’s capital city. They range from explorations of the city’s arts, mediaeval history, commercial past or French eclectic architecture to a discovery of communist Bucharest and the daily life of its inhabitants.

The half-day tours to the Pasarea Convent and the Cernica Monastery provide an insight into Christian Orthodox monastic life and traditions. The tour to Snagov Monastery also explores some of the Romanian connections to Dracula’s legend.

If you do not want to take only a standard tour, but are interested in getting to know a particular aspect of Romania’s diverse and rich cultural heritage, you should think about taking a themed tour.

Our Romania themed tours, devised with the support of experts in various fields, i.e. archaeologists, architects or art historians, introduce you to the most important evolutionary developments in the respective arts.

As far as the civilisations of Antiquity are concerned, the Greeks, Dacians and Romans have left their marks on the present-day territory of Romania. On the shores of the Black Sea or in some of the most impressive mountains of Romania, you can still find forts, sanctuaries and traces of a long-lost world. You can accompany us, as well, on an exploration of pre-Christian basilicas in Dobrudja.
