Romania Hotel Guide

Romania is a country filled with natural beauty, architectural wonders, and a long and rich history. Perhaps best known in the west for the legendary land known as Transylvania, that is but one region of this beautiful country filled with unique travel experiences. Regardless of when you visit this breathtaking country, keep an eye out for special discount rates and prices at the many charming Romania hotels.

Architecture

Romania contains a large number of architectural treasures. Those treasures include the famous painted monastery in Bucovina and an entire village that has been preserved since medieval times.

Festivals

Romania is known for its festivals. Because it is one of the most religious regions in Europe, many of these festivals center around religious origins or purposes. During many of these festivals, you will want to find and book rooms at the hotels in Romania in advance as many fill up quickly. Such religious festivals include:

  • The Whit Sunday Szekely Pilgrimage -- This is the largest traditional religious and folk Szekely festival of the year.

  • The De la Colind la Stea Christmas festival -- This festival is a great celebration held in Brasov.

Other festivals are rooted in the regions's culture rather than religion. Such festivals include:

  • The Fundata Fair -- This folkloric festival, held in June, was originally held so that shepherds could meet their future wives.
  • The International Chamber Music Festival Concerts -- These concerts, held during the months of September in Brasov and Bran, are a treat to your ears.
  • Medieval Days -- This two-week long festival is held in the town of Sighisoara and is a celebration of authentic medieval arts, music, and crafts.
  • Hora de la Prislop -- Held on the Prislop Pass, this festival includes wild dancing
  • Sambra oilor -- This folkloric festival celebrates the coming of the sheep herds down from the mountains.
