That is a wrap on our travels through Romania. We absolutely loved our time here and can't wait to return! We are curious to know - what was your favorite city we visited? Over the next two weeks, we will be sharing with you our final thoughts on Romania including our top must-see locations as well as what it cost to travel throughout Romania and stay in 8 locations over two months.
As a local my favorite city would be Bucharest, not for the looks but because of connectivity, opportunity and it's the most open minded and western thinking city in Romania Also Bucharest has plenty of downsides, like ugly blocks crowded streets dirty sidewalks (when they are not occupied by cars) noisy expensive etc. From an esthetic point of view, i would choose Sighișoara, it's just a personal opinion
It seems you visited only cities in Transylvania. There are many other beautiful cities and towns in the Eastern part of Romania (called Moldova, not to be confused with Republic of Moldova, which is a separate country), also in the Souther part of Romania (called Muntenia). I strongly recommend you to visit Iasi in Moldova region, Sinaia and Craiova in Muntenia region. By the way, Iasi is one of the most beautiful cities of Romania.
@@selcovoilucian8253 Sighisoara would be top notch if they would invest in the urban landscaping of the city outside the citadel. They basically need to get rid of the ugly utility poles and hanging cables and they need beautiful paved sidewalks and lots of building restorations. Even inside the citadel there's lots of work to be done, lots of restorations to be done.
The most suggested place for us to visit was the Moldova region and specifically Iasi. We honestly didn't know any better when we planned out our visit. We will be excited when we return to see everything that we missed. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching our channel. Cheers!!!🍻
Timisoara looks great, I started planning a Romanian motorcycle tour (thanks to your travels!), have you seen much of the roads - are the road conditions good? Thanks
We love your country!! Two months wasn't enough time so we will have to return soon to see everything that we missed!! Thank you so much for the hospitality! Cheers!!!🍻
@@mirelaalexe3953 hi hello As a public higher education institution, “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia is going through a new stage of its existence, a stage marked by the three principles underlying the current mandate of the University’s Management: performance, quality, and consistency. As a relatively young University - we are celebrating 28 years of existence in 2019 -, our University is fully aware of its purpose and role within the higher education system in Romania and constantly relates to the tradition of the Transylvanian educational system.
@@BrianandCarrie Just realised it's only 2 hours by car from Novi Sad, Serbia. I would recommend Novi Sad and Belgrade if you're close by later on your travels... Serbia is so very underrated!!
We did make it to Belgrade for a few days. We had a great time. That video will be out in a couple weeks after we rap up Romania with a best of video and a cost break down video.
Thank you for the fine coverage of Timisoara. The city looks beautiful, clean, well maintained with a nice vibe comparable to more popular cities of Europe. The Hotel looked very good and upscale and sure a place to visit. On top of that a nice Haircut. what more can you ask? Thanks again for the First fall Episode from the BNC Public Broadcasting Channel!
"comparable to more popular cities of Europe"??? Not really, that historical part is just some big squares with dilapidated facades (except for some that are roughly restored) where there is literally nothing except for some touristic impersonal terraces. You can see that quietly in an hour and then leave because there is nothing else. The rest of the city (the real city) are just endless residential soviet areas, terribly arid (asphalt and concrete) and creepy.
Thank you, Marc! We had such a great experience here in Romania. We will cover what we enjoyed the most in a video next week! Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!!🍻
Thanks for the great coverage of Romanian towns and cities. You've really cemented Romania as a place we'll need to spend time too in a few years when it's our turn to roam. I especially appreciate showing the signs in English. I shouldn't be so concerned, but the language barrier is so daunting.
Heading back to Romania after years, but to this city, I have spent time in Bucharest and Brasov for 2 months. I can't want to get back. People are amazing!
Great video, as always! Love the haircut, Brian! Timisoara looks like a really beautiful and lively city. We'll definitely need to go there on our next trip to Romania.
Timișoara is the place where the Romanian revolution started, the only anti-comunist revolt that succeed, on the steps of that church people lost their lives I am sure you remember seeing it on the news in your teen years But anyway, Timișoara is unique looking with it's secesionist style of architecture We wait for YOU to give a feedback on Romania, the cost , the transport, the good the bad , the overrated and the underrated Glad you enjoyed România, have a safe trip and hope you come back one day
We will be back eventually, Selcovoi. The next two videos will cover everything that you mention. Thank you for all your support over the last couple of months! We really appreciate all the comments!! Cheers!!🍻
Thank you very much for sharing your adventures. So fun to see and so useful. Leaving for Romania in 2 weeks and your series have helped me to plan my adventure!
Hello again Brian and Carrie!' You've showed us many beautiful places in Romania 🇷🇴! The most significant answer to your question would be... which one of them you liked the most! I'm originally from Cluj-Napoca and I've walked all the paths You've walked this past two months... You ... "absolutely " love your travels through Romania... I (we) love them with a passion... ... it's hard to take a decision looking back at all your travels!?😀 Safe travels this fall and hope to see you again next year visiting the other side of the Carpathian Mountains... you'll be welcome!🤘 PS - nice haircut! ... you also looked "cool " rain soaked in Oradea!😅i Cheers Carrie and Brian!🍺
Really enjoying you videos thank you. Would love to hear what have been your favorite few places you've visited so far in Europe - like a top 5 of Europe so far or something similar
It appears I was there at about the same time you were (me: middle of August 2022)! I saw the She Hulk banner while there 😄 It appears you missed visiting the Communist Consumer Museum. Very small and free; a real treat to walk through.
We were there at about the same time! We did miss the museum but what a lovely city. Romania did not disappoint. Thank you for watching our channel!! Cheers!!🍻
Timisoara will be the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2023, so that’s why so many of these hystorical buildings are under renovation to make sure they’re pretty by 2023 :) Timisoara is the most multicultural city in Romania, the place where Romanians, Hungarian, Serbian, German, Bulgarian and Ukrainianians have lived in harmony for centuries. Many other people in different cities in Romania are not able to understand this harmony 🥰 And most recently Italians too, there is a huuuuge expat community in Timisoara. Also lots of African students. It’s a great place, my hometown actually. We live in between London and Brasov now, but I’m always happy to go back home 🥰
Hi, guys!! Thank you for the comments. We see you have a channel as well and will be watching your Philipins videos as we plan our trip to Southeast Asia!! Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!!🍻
Hi! Do you have any recommendations for kids there? I'm planning to visit the city in summer, it looks nice and charming. As a Hungarian its also impressive that chauvinism does not present in Timisoara and its multicultural in a positive manner.
You have finally arrived in my city, you know what they say, save the best for last :)) Apparently you haven't missed a lot in the city, maybe the biggest catholic cathedral in Timisoara, the Millennium Church, it's really huge and pretty. But as a local, I tend to overlook the tourist spots, I recently had a foreign friend coming to visit the city and she knew about places I didn't even recognize, just by doing online research. Visiting the city "as a tourist" I was surprised to see how many foreigners were on the city streets, I should really visit the city center more often :)) Looking forward to your wrap up videos on Romania, and also the Belgrade one, as last week I just visited it for the 6th or 7th time already (it's really close to Timisoara).. It's a beautiful city, except for the fact that's it's way to hilly and uneven for my manual car driving abilities :)
Timisoara was our last stop of eight in Romania. We will have two more videos on Romania in the next two weeks, best of Romania and our cost of living. After that we will be traveling to Belgrade, Bosnia and then Croatia.
Not sure if the last from Romania means you are headed to Southeast Asia (as I thought I recall you saying that is your next adventure) or where ever you plan next if not SE Asia, but I would appreciate a top 5 or 10 list of the European locations you would actually live in based on what you know now. You mentioned Alicante as a top ten but you wouldn’t recommend Portugal for retirement. So just curious how you two see it shaking out after almost a year full time traveling for those of us who want to live vicariously and potentially relocate through your travels. Thanks
Hi, John. We will be having our "Year in Review" video out in the coming weeks and we will talk about our top locations so far. As for where to next we still have time to travel through Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. We will head back to the US for the holidays to see friends and family before heading to Thailand on Jan. 5th. Cheers!!!🍻
Its one of the safest towns in europe, place 20th i think out of 700 cities or so. Also oradea, cluj feature in top 15 or so, oradea being the 3rd in EU overall for safety Why? Because during the rough 1990s and EU accesion, alot of jobless people found work abroad, a higher number than normal. So here stayed mostly the people which made a honest income. During that time it was not much to steal here also, so this “business” relocated also Source: crime index, numbeo
you re right to some extent...,,Stealing,, nowadays hapens at high levels- where ,,cascavalul,, is...they steal really good...LMAO...with all their friends and relatives...is called politics....same all around the world!
The city was constructed, and founded by German immigrants. Its German name: Temeswar. It was one of the seven fortified cities of Siebenbürgensachsen , a colonial system founded and cultivated by the large German population of Transylvania of past centuries.
Portugal would be the best for us. We really like the Algarve area. Although Albania wouldn't be bad we still think the climate in Portugal is a bit better.
Hi guys. I have no idea how this video come at recomandation, but because is about my city i decided to see it. It is really nice to see that other people look at Romania in a good way and not always at bad things. You seem like amazing people and i can say that you have my love and apreciation!!!! SUBSCRIBED
Thank you so much!! We loved our time in Romania and plan to return someday to see everything that we missed. Beautiful country!! Thank you for deciding to watch!! Cheers!!!🍻

Absolutely! Timisoara is from a storybook!

Erick, now days for sure you meet a lot of people in Romania who can manage a conversation in english. So, don't worry

Hi guys!! We had such a great time! Thank you for your tips on Romania!!
@@BrianandCarrie You're welcome! We're always happy to talk travel :)
Timișoara is the place where the Romanian revolution started, the only anti-comunist revolt that succeed, on the steps of that church people lost their lives
I am sure you remember seeing it on the news in your teen years
But anyway, Timișoara is unique looking with it's secesionist style of architecture
We wait for YOU to give a feedback on Romania, the cost , the transport, the good the bad , the overrated and the underrated
Glad you enjoyed România, have a safe trip and hope you come back one day
