Bucharest
Like other capitals in Europe, Bucharest is a city where you see the past and the present in perfect harmony. Historic buildings and cultural movements spread around the city, which develops every day.
What to do in Bucharest
- Bucharest is a city of beautiful parks and it's worth taking the time to visit. Gradina Cismigiu is the oldest (and also popular) public garden in Bucharest and can be seen as an oasis in the middle of the city. In addition, the city's botanical garden is one of the best in the country and features the varied local flora.
- Discovering local cuisine is something that must be taken into account on any trip, and Bucharest would be no different. Romanian cuisine has delicious dishes and one of the most recommended restaurants for tourists is the traditional Caru' cu Bere.

Brasov
Impressive gates and Gothic spires and medieval watchtowers are still part of Brasov's scenery. Amidst these buildings, baroque churches and other historic buildings shine through the city.
Like all of Romania, Brasov is surrounded by legends, such as the flirts of Vlad the Impaler or the revival of the Hamelin Pied Piper.
What to do in Brasov
- Due to its proximity, Brasov is often a starting point for a visit to Bran Castle, home of the famous Count Dracula. Located high on a hill, the castle houses a collection of royal art and decoration objects. At the end of the visit, a medieval village is open for visitors.
- Peles Castle is located in Sinaia, but is easy to get around from Brasov. With its Renaissance-German architecture, many consider it the most interesting castle in Transylvania.
