Welcome To Romania

Welcome to Romania
OF ANDRIESEI RARES
Introduction
 Romania is a country located at the crossroads of Central Eastern and

Southeastern Europe. It is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, because
it has a very rich fauna and some areas full of history and full of beauty. If you
have ever considered visiting Romania, I assure you that you will not get bored
and you will feel wonderful because the people there are very friendly and
welcoming.
Maramures (Days 1-2)
 The first days I spent in Maramures an incredible place where people welcome
you with warmth and local dishes that are also delicious.
 The northwestern Romanian region of Maramures is home to many villages where
century-old traditions are still part of daily life.
 For a one-of-a-kind experience, take the narrow-gauge steam train. Starting from
the small logging town of Viseu de Sus, the steam railway runs along a scenic
road for about 30 miles, chugging behind an old steam engine.
 A very popular dish in Maramures is the "Balmos", corn polenta mixed with ewe's
milk cheese (or cheese fermented in wooden or clay pots) and baked in the oven.

delightfully apparent in the folk costumes, architecture, cuisine, music and

port city of Constanta, and the seaside resorts stretching along Romania's 152-

territory the tourist can find multiple sightseeing options, of Roman camps, Dacian
fortresses and medieval mansions. Oltenia is also famous for its spectacular natural
scenery, but also for places of worship, monasteries and convents, which have
become historical monuments.
 Three of resorts in the region are of national interest, enjoying the potential provided
by the Danube, one of the most spectacular parts of the river, the Danube Gorge
(Clisura Cunarii) with Cazanele Miici (Small Cauldrons) and Cazanele Mari (Big
Cauldrons) being part of Oltenia. This region has a huge area of water surface

insufficiently exploited by tourism.

located in the Golden Plateau, representing the nucleus of the city, around which
the city developed over the centuries.

Three Hierarchs, built in 1639. Another major landmark in Iasi is the neo-gothic
Palace of Culture, built between 1900-1926, currently housing the Ethnographic
