Besides the spectacular landscapes and rich culture, we, Romanians, are known for our hospitality.

That's why we would like to share with you five places in Romania where you will have the chance to meet wonderful people and create unforgettable memories!

 

1. Vama Veche

It's probably no surprise that Vama Veche is the first destination on our list. This place is not just a holiday destination; it’s where the magic of sincere and lasting friendships is born, to the charm of guitar music around campfires.

With its relaxed atmosphere and music festivals that bring together people from all corners of the world, Vama is the ideal place to meet people who share the same passions as you. Or, why not, people who are as different from you as can be.

In Vama Veche, everything is about freedom, fun, and authentic human connections. If you are open to meeting new people and enjoying life, Vama Veche is waiting for you!

3. Sinaia

Sinaia, also known as the "Pearl of the Carpathians," is a place where nature and history blend harmoniously, a place where past, present, and future meet. Here, at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains, you can join organized hikes or team up with groups of tourists to explore the stunning castles and landscapes of the area.

Mountain hikes and winter sports are activities that bring people together, and the warm atmosphere of log cabins and guesthouses will make you feel cozy and right at home. After a day spent in nature, it’s very likely that you will find yourself with new friends at the dinner table, sharing stories and experiences.
