Romania is a country located in southeastern Central Europe, on the lower Danube, north of the Balkan Peninsula and on the northwestern shore of the Black Sea. It covers almost the entire Danube Delta area and the southern and central part of the Carpathian Mountains.

Sighisoara

Sighisoara medieval town

The city in Romania that must be visited is Sighisoara. Sighisoara is a municipality in Mures County, Transylvania, Romania. Without modesty, one can say that it is something unique, something you do not find anywhere else.

I would like to advise anyone to visit the only medieval fortress inhabited in Romania. Of course, any other city is attracted by its history, but this place is even more “touristic” as the population and the different characters of the old times have lived here yet. It is a wonderful city, a city where you can live in medieval life. The city abounds in tourist attractions, especially history.

A first objective is the Clock Tower, with a true museum inside, and from the terrace of which the storied town is revealed. A second goal is the Stairs Passage and the Stairs of the School, today with 175 steps.

Brasov

The Brasovians know the beauty of the place and lead you as children to the chocolate factory. I wore my sneakers in steep places, breathtaking scenery, history museums or chic places where you can barely let your fingers.

In the mountains, the connection between man and nature is stronger than any other. You feel more self-conscious than ever, and at the same time, you learn to relax, to leave the burden behind.

If you are in Brasov, it is worth walking around the Council Square, located in the center of the old medieval town, where you can admire very beautifully decorated buildings in Baroque style. The Council Square is also the scene for the Golden Stag International Music Festival. Also, you can not miss the Black Church, located a few meters away, the largest Gothic church in Romania.
