Some of the most interesting parts of Romania are in the North. Maramures is an area where the tradition is preserved like in an open-air museum. The remarkable peasant architecture, with the famous 400 ft tall wooden churches built with no metal nails, the traditional sculpted gates, and the "funny" graveyard of Sapinta, a unique place in Europe, is a charming destination. Not far from there, crossing into Bucovina, in northern Moldova, you find remarkable 16th century Byzantine inside-and-outside painted churches, which preserve excellent colors and motives. Going South, there are many other beautiful serene and hospitable monasteries or you can visit the main city of Moldova, Iasi, a real cultural capital of the country. If you go South-East towards the Black Sea you can visit the National Park of the Danube Delta, where you can sail the small or large canals of the river watching birds and animals and the traditional life of the fishermen, taken like from the last century.

Transylvania is far from being a legendary realm. Located in the middle of the country, it is surrounded by mountains its name being derived from the latin "Transilvana" that means " the country beyond forests". It was named also Siebenburgen from the main seven medieval cities founded by the Saxon settlers around the 11th century. The Saxons were Germans from Saxony or Rhineland who were deployed there by the Hungarians, who ruled the area in those times, and wanted to guard the kingdom borders. Some of these medieval cities, Brasov (Kronstadt), Sibiu (Hermannstadt), Sighisoara (Schassburg), and their surroundings, preserve a remarkable medieval atmosphere that we tried to reproduce in our travel video about this region. The video will walk you through these three major cities and also, to Alba Iulia, an important city for the history of present-day Romania, to the church of Cristian, one of the many fortified churches around Brasov, to the citadel of Risnov and the Bran Castle, ending up in the bustling city of Bucharest.

honey, i'm hungarian, i'm catholic living in RO. I haven't felt safer anywhere else but in my country and that is RO.

The Hungarians own nothing. I'm a Romanian and hate the Romanian administration but Transilvania is Romanian... We were influenced by Austrians not by Hungarians... If it is like the Hungarians claim then maybe Czechs are Hungarians also, and Slovakians and hell... All Europe is Hungarian... Get a life!
