Culture Shock: Romania

There are certain things you should remember if you want to get the most out of a visit to Romania.

Accomodation

There are many hotels and motels in Romania. From 2 stars to 7 stars, it depends only of the money you have. If you don't have money at all you could stay in a 1 star hostel. For a lower price are pensions from 1 star to 5 stars. But many of these are full almost all of the time. If you don't find a free room you could go at private houses because in touristy towns people make good profit from hiring rooms.

Transport

One good way of seeing the country is by car because you can stop anytime you like, anywhere you like and stay how much you like. But cars could sometimes be slow because of the traffic. So, another good way to see Romania is by train. Of course you don's have all of the facilities you have with a car, but trains are very frequently in Romania so this shouldn't be a problem. If you want to travel a long distance in a short time, the best opportunity is the airplane.

Sightseeing

You can relax surfing at the Black Sea or skiing in the Carpathians. You really have to see some monasteries such as: Putna, Voroneţ and Agapia. The Peleş Castle is also wonderful and impressive. The other touristy attractions are ruins like Suceava, Neamţ and Bran. But if you want to see al the country, you can go on a trip all over it.

People

Most of the people are nice. But nowadays there aren't any pure-blood Romanians. There are Hungarians, Germans, Turks and Ukrainians.

Food and Drink

Romanians have their own traditional food and drink. The most popular food is cabbage rolls with corn mush and cream. The best wine in Romania is the red one from Cotnari or Murfatlar, but you can also try the plum brandy.

Souvenirs

And at the end of the trip you have to take something to remember about it. The souvenirs are in every square: traditional embroidery on traditional costumes and rugs, hand painted pottery, wooden dolls, musical instruments or melancholy folk songs.

I am not saying more about Romania because I'm letting you to discover it. Welcome to Romania!
