<\/span><\/h2>\nRomania is rural enough to feel like you are escaping the rat race for a while. It has plenty of history, seeped in towns like Transylvania and Brasov. There is also plenty of folklore and local history that can excite and entice tourists. Alongside this, the country has some spectacular countryside, from towering mountains to the Danube Delta. Beyond this, you also have some up and coming cities such as Bucharest. So, here is Exoticca\u2019s list of what to visit in Romania.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Bucharest, the city to see and the place to do in Romania<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Bucharest is lively, energetic and has plenty of spirits. It has changed rapidly over the years and has managed to shake off its Communist past. There is plenty to see and do here, and you will never be short of activities. First off, it is worth seeing the Palace of Parliament which is the second largest building in the world. It is also the seat of modern Romania\u2019s government. Tours are strictly private and must be booked in advance. <\/span><\/p>\nAfter beginning at the modern epicenter of Bucharest, take a walk to the Old Town. The Old Town is geared towards having fun, as it houses the majority of the city\u2019s bars and cafes. The quaint streets also provide a great photo opportunity. Another interesting thing to do in Romania is to visit the Piata Revolutiei. This was the scene of the greatest fighting when the dictator Ceausescu was overthrown in the late 1980\u2019s. There are several monuments here, including the Rebirth Memorial and the Central Committee of the Communist Party Building. Both of these are imprinted into Romanian history and are fascinating. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Transylvania and the activities you must do in Romania<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nTransylvania is probably what many think of when they think of Romania. Hopefully, you will not be disappointed if you choose to travel here. <\/span><\/p>\nBrasov is the biggest city in Transylvania and it looks as if it is straight out of a fairy tale. The streets are cobbled, the houses gingerbread and some of the buildings are straight out of a Gothic novel. The nearby mountains also add an extra ambiance. Something that you must do in Romania is paying a visit to the Piata Sfatului, which is a hub of cafes and buildings of interest. At the top of Trumpeter\u2019s Tower, you can see musicians appear dressed in traditional clothes. This harks back to the tradition of councilors meeting to discuss the town\u2019s affairs. You must also see the Black Church, a must do in Romania. It is impressively large and is the main landmark in Brasov.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
