This is a great trip for those who want to dive into Romania's history and culture while still exploring much of the country. Start by spending a few days in the capital city of Bucharest, visiting the Palace of Parliament, the world's second-largest administrative building, and the Ceauşescu Mansion, showcasing the excesses of dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. For a taste of Romanian nightlife head to the lively Lipscani district or catch a classical concert or opera at the Romanian Athenaeum. Dine at the historic Caru' cu Bere, serving local fare for over 130 years. Before leaving Bucharest, visit Cărturești Carusel bookstore for a copy of Dracula to read before exploring Bran Castle and other Transylvanian highlights like Peles and Corvin Castles, and the medieval towns of Sibiu, Viscri, and Brasov. From Brasov, visit the haunted Hoia-Baciu Forest, then travel to Cluj-Napoca for the Muzeul Etnografic al Transilvaniei. In Turda, experience the unique Salina Turda and hike Turda Gorge.

Discover Gothic wooden churches in Maramureş and UNESCO-listed monasteries in Iași. For an extended adventure, cross into Moldova to explore more historic churches. You can also hike sections of the Via Transsilvanica, a trail that showcases many of these sights and stunning landscapes. See all hiking trips in Romania.

Opt for a 2-week Romania itinerary plan if you are looking for a slow-paced holiday. For more duration options check out this guide. Once you’ve decided on the length of stay, you can essentially start planning the trip on your own. Transportation around the cities is easy with scheduled buses and taxis. Out of the city, smaller towns and cities are well connected by an extensive internal rail and bus network. Self drive is an option, but road conditions are often poor and unpredictable.
