What to See in Romania for First Time Travelers?
The first-time travelers are highly recommended to explore the Prahova Valley, the Danube Delta, Transylvania, Maramures and Bucovina.
Start from Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, and enjoy two days in the Prahova Valley, where you can get a stunning view of the Carpathian Mountains by standing on the impressive Rasnov Fortress. On the way, you will also visit other highlights, like Peles Castle, vampire Dracula's Bran Castle, the Bear Sanctuary, etc. Travelers who love natural wetland cannot miss the breathtaking beauty of the Danube Delta where you can take a private boat to watch the amazing sunset by joining a two-day tour. If it happens to be between July 1st and October 31st, add one more day to visit the world-famous Transfagarasan road.
To get to know more about Romania, spend 3 or 4 more days to explore Transylvania. Besides the UNESCO Saxon villages, you will also have the chance to visit the Turda Salt Mine, the medieval Corvin Castle and city of Sighisoara. Bucovina and Maramures regions also have many UNESCO sites, like Budesti wooden church, Moldovita Painted Monastery. If you are interested, make a 5-day Romania holiday there. What's more, these two lands offer authentic rural scenery, and the traditional customs and crafts are most alive, like wood carving and painting on the eggshell. In Maramures, an overnight stay in a local wooden house is a must-do during your Romania tours.

How to Get to and Travel around Romania?
Visitors flying from abroad often land at Bucharest Otopeni International Airport (OTP). In Romania, the traffic condition still needs much improvement. You will mostly see one-way street or two-lane road, which is short of tourist centers or travelling guidance. But don't worry about that. For internal transfer, we will use a private air-conditioned vehicle and a licensed and experienced driver to make your trip an easier and more comfortable one.
