  • Have you ever thought of visiting Romania? Many people say it's not on their list of places to visit - but, it should be!! In this video, we share with you our Final Thoughts on Romania (covering the food, beer, transportation, and top sites) and go over the top Places to Visit. We traveled through Romania for 2 months and during that time had the opportunity to explore 8 different cities. We go through each of the cities we visited and share our final thoughts on each.
    We started our journey in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Here is where we first discovered what wonderful things we had in store for us over the next two months - from the amazing food selections, numerous craft beer options, and beautiful architecture. Next, we made our way to Brasov located in the heart of Transylvania. While here we took day trips to visit both Peles Castle and Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle) both wonderful day trips from this location. As we make our way through Transylvania, we discover Dracula's birthplace and his hometown of Sighisoara. Sibiu then became our home base for 2 weeks which was perfect as there was plenty to see and do here. You will find plenty to do in the old town and wonderful walking streets filled with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and bakeries. We ended our final 2 weeks in Romania with stops in Alba Iulia, Cluj, Oradea, and Timisoara. Join us on our journey and see all there is to discover in the beautiful country of Romania!

      I really struggled trying to understand what you called “Bradja?” or “Radja?” couldn’t work it out if my life depended on it, I rewinded twice then I finally saw the images - I being a Romanian by birth, although living in Australia for decades.
      Luckily I know every city and town in Romania by its looks Because I visited them all when I used to live there…so Brașov it’s actually really easy to pronounce being basically made of the English word “Brush” with the termination “ov” - it’s that simple.
      Brush-ov or even Brush- off if the “off” makes it easier for you, all you have to do is to pronounce it in one word “Brushoff”.
      I believe it’s imperative for your subscribers from other countries to understand what you are talking about otherwise they won’t be able to identify that town if they really wanted to visit it in the future.

    Thank you so much for your Romanian videos and this wrap up. We visited Romania for 10 days at the beginning of September this year and watched many of your videos before we went. We flew into Bucharest and stayed 2 nights before picking up our hire car and heading to Brasov for 3 nights, then to the countryside just south of Sibiu for another 3 nights before heading back to Bucharest for the last night of our stay. We absolutely loved Brasov and Sibiu as well as the surrounding countryside and towns. We didn’t think much of Bucharest but we are not big party people so that may be why! We are also not big beer drinkers but tried a local one in Brasov inspired by you two and we loved it! I even messaged the company on Instagram when we got back but they don’t ship it to the UK so I guess we will have to go back. Unfortunately we were trying to pack so much in that we didn’t have time for Sighisoara which is a big regret. It’s worth noting that although having the freedom of car hire is great, the drive between locations can also be very long because of the terrain. Before we left to go people were asking us why we were choosing Romania for our holiday with disgust! More fool them I say…it is such a beautiful country and the all the people we met were the kindest and friendliest we’ve experienced on many travels. We can’t wait to go back!

    THANK YOU from all my heart !!!
    Such nice and appreciative words about my country, about my native city - you guys are awesome.
    I am not a beer expert, but I can say that I’ve had a few sorts of beer in Germany, which is famous and praised for its beer - I like Romanian beer much, much more … and I learned the secret - it is all about the water. Germany imported huge quantities of water from Romania just for that - to have a high quality beer.
    There is a difference between 1st class and 2nd class train cars (compartments) - 1st class has in general 3 seats for a row, 2nd class has 4. In one of your previous videos, you said that you’ll make a list of your 3 most favorite places - I had a strong feeling about which one will be at the top of the list … I was right - THANK YOU.
    I wanted to catch up, so I made a mini marathon watching your last 3 videos in a row. There are many years since I last time visited Oradea and when I saw the tram cars in your video, it gave me some sort of Kim Jong-Un vibe … interesting choice of colors they came up with. In the video from Timisoara, there was a very interesting aspect that caught my eye - something on a plate you had one of your meals served on … my thanks go to the kitchen staff this time …
    I hope someday I’ll live my dream through you, as my highest, maybe my only priority now is to get to Cheboksary, even relocate there, but I simply can not afford that trip (not yet) - so I’ll keep an eye on your channel and maybe you’ll get there before I do … although I think one whole decade wouldn’t be enough to see all that is to be seen … because it is Russia.
    At the time I’m writing this, you probably left Romania already - I’ll come back to your channel to see some more, because your videos are the best of this sort I’ve ever seen (I mean travel vlog).
    Take care and say hello from a Romanian brother to your friends and families.
    Cheers !!!

    Hey, really glad you've enjoyed your trip here! I'm a little curious, how did you find our weather, compared to what you're used to back home? Truth is, the climate has been shifting in the last decade. The summers are much hotter, and winters sometimes feel just like a colder season. In the south, the temperatures rarely get to below freezing anymore (they used to, in the past).
    Anyway, I hope you have a great time wherever you're going next. Love your videos.

    I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed your stay. Transylvania is a very beautiful place, but not just the cities, the nature is also breathtaking. Very lush and green. There are so many other places worth visiting, though they're not as accessible to tourists. One area which I've visited this summer was the mud volcanoes from Buzau. Buzau is a region with a lot of natural gas resources, which seep out from the ground, creating fire (literal fire coming out of the ground) and the mud volcanoes. The mud volcanoes in Romania are the largest, by far, in Europe and are very beautiful and interesting. The main problem is reaching them as the roads leading up to them are in very poor condition. Other areas worth seeing are the Danube Delta and the Danube Cauldrons (Cazanele Dunarii). Best of luck on your next travels. Stay healthy and well :)

    I love your videos. I have binge-watched from the beginning. Thank you for sharing! It's because of the confusion of bus schedules and not knowing that makes travel fun - and aggravating - and keeps our brains engaged!
    You have inspired our next trip. We plan to go next September to Albania because of you and stay a week in Tirana and a week in Sarande after a month in Poland. Like you, we like the oh-so-affordable month-long stays, but I don't want to miss all the other great places in a country so we sandwich our month-long stays with shorter bursts of travel. In Poland we're planning on staying in each destination about a week or longer. We have slowed down since our first big international trip in 2010 when we did a whirlwind 11 days in Italy.
    I love being retired, traveling slowly and that the world is opening up again after covid.
    Bummer that I can't learn from you about Poland.
    We went to Romania in 2015 for the same reason as you - to get out of the Schengen. We loved it. Loved Sighisoara and Sibiu and Brasov as well as Bucharest and Timisoara. (Need to return!) Just like you, we eventually continued down to Croatia where we stayed a month in Split (Awesome!) and traveled to Mostar and Kotor, but then ferried over to Bari, Italy for a month in Lecce, Puglia... Memories.
    I write a Wordpress blog about all our (budget) travels and include all our expenses, accommodations, food, etc like you. More recently, we've been traveling in Mexico. I know we've been to a lot of the same places but if you're considering a new place and you're looking for information you might like to look and see. It's called: Meet You in the Morning at Wordpress dot com. The main page has an index by country. We are kindred spirits (from the great Pacific NW) except that our happy vice is coffee, not craft beer. Haha!
    Looking forward to your next video.

    Would having a rental car from day one made your trip a little less stressful

      It would have helped, yes. We just couldn't figure that into our budget. Maybe someday. 😀

    Hi guys , glad you came to Oradea , but i suggest if you come back in cople of years in Romania , you should go to Ciuperca up on the hill , you can see the city from there and can get somthing to eat up there. If you come back you`l see some big changes in our home town , the city is now in a magor development and try to visit again in the spring and have a day in Felxi or 1Mai . Thank you for visit our home town again and be safe in you`r trips . Thake care !

    I see you traveled in my town, Sibiu. As local, I use a lot Google Maps to find and switch city busses cause it's the easiest way to travel. Also when I travel I use it in foreign counties, it works every time.
    Glad you enjoyed our country. There's plenty of wonderful places in România to visit. Hope you come back!
