HOLIDAY DESTINATION IN ROMANIA

STUDENT: BÎRA RAMONA MARIANAGROUP: 8214TEACHER: MIHAI DANIEL FRUMUȘELU

Main tourist landmarks of Romania When we travel, of course we would love to visit the whole country – but

this is usually not possible. Taking into consideration the general aspects of the country and the interests of a regular traveler, we have tried to include the most important landmarks of the country. We took into consideration

specific traits of the country, the level of uniqueness, how touristy that place is, how beautiful and how representative that destination can be for the country. Feel free to comment, write your own ideas and give us your

suggestions for other places in Romania.

PELES CASTLEThere are few castles in the world that can

match the beauty of Peles Castle. And this is said not by us, but by other many worldwide

newspapers and travel websites. Peles Castle, built at the command of the first

Romanian king (actually a German prince), was the first truly modern castle in Europe.

Construction started in 1873 and was finished only in 1914. The overwhelming

interiors, boasting several styles from Moorish to German Neo-Renaissance, house

fine collections of paintings, ceramics, sculptures and weapons. But the wood carving is the main asset of the castle,

probably matched only by the beauty of the Carpathian Mountains which surround the

castle like in a perfect postcard.

Brasov, surrounded by green mountains and medieval fortified walls, is one of Romania’s most important tourist destinations. Built by Saxon colonists almost 800 years ago, the

city of Brasov preserves its central old town which these days enjoys a vibrant street-life with many bars and restaurants. There is no way you can avoid the Black Church, as it is

one of the largest churches in Eastern Europe. The main advantage of Brasov is its proximity to many other famous tourist landmarks in Romania. Just 16km from Brasov is the stunning UNESCO site of Prejmer, the best preserved fortified castle- church in the

country. Passing through Poiana Brasov, the country’s most famous winter resort, you’ll arrive to Rasnov, the site of a great fortress perched on a hill with a splendid panoramic

view over Transylvania. Not far away lies the castle of Bran, known best to foreign travellers as Dracula’s Castle.

BRAN CASTLEBearing the nickname of Dracula’s Castle, no other landmark in the country of Romania has

received as much attention as Bran Castle. When the royal family was kicked out of the country by the communist government in 1948, Bran Castle was seized as public property. After a lengthy property dispute, it returned to Habsburg Empire hands and became the first private museum in Romania. A large part of Bran Castle is open to visitation and a person can see many interesting

artifacts accumulated through the previous royal residence and even earlier times.
