best places to visit in romania
Sighișoara
Sighișoara is a city on the Târnava Mare River in Transylvania, Romania.
Sighisoara is one of the best places to visit in Romania due to its beautifully preserved walled town, which is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. During the 12th century German craftsmen and merchants, known as the Transylvanian Saxons, were invited here by the King of Hungary to settle and defend the frontier. They established a thriving trading town here and created the fortress that visitors come for today. It was later extended in the 14th century and now, every July, a Medieval Festival takes place in the old citadel. The landmark of the city is The Clock Tower – a 64-meter-high tower built in 1556.
Bucharest
Bucharest is the capital and largest city of Romania, as well as the country’s cultural, industrial, and financial center. It is located in the southeast of the country, on the banks of the Dâmbovița River.
Bucharest is a city that combines the old with the new. Visitors might come across a centuries-old building, a modern high rise, and a Communist-style building all in the same block. This modern European capital boasts the largest Parliament building in the world with 3,100 rooms and 12 stories high. Also not to be missed in Bucharest is the old town center with its narrow cobblestone streets and old buildings, including medieval churches.
