Do you want some help figuring out what to visit, what to east and so on? There are cities but also rural is a huge part of the country as urbanization is relatively low. And nature is very important too, lots of mountains, the Danube Delta. Mountains also means lakes and caves and waterfalls and so on. Lots of mineral water springs and plenty of thermal springs. And when it comes to ruins. older things, fortresses and so on, foreign tourists tend to know only about medieval things and few of those but there are also lots of Roman and Dacian ruins plus much older things like the Cucuteni culture- oldest pottery wheel ever discovered on the globe so far, oldest wheel for vehicles, oldest yin and yang symbol and more. And food, plenty of soups, try pickles too, try home made cakes, not just the ones in stores, mushrooms tend to be good in Romania, so anything with mushrooms you can try,. Lots of things in Romania are best when home made though. Best and cheapest fruits and vegetables and more are in vegetable markets (no tin stores) but when in season, otherwise it's imports. Anyway, if you want more details, if you have questions, please let me know, don't be shy about it. And Merry Christmas!
Biggest classical music composer is Enescu and you can check out the Romanian Rhapsody and you can also listen another composer, Ciprian Porumbescu. Zamfir is greatest pan flute player in the wold for decades and he's important. Traditional dances, there are some 50-60 different ones but can be grouped into, i think, 14 categories. Traditions, leading the bear Capra, Plugusorul, Sorcova, Martisor and more. Easter is kinda interesting. Also, the painted eggs for Easter. Lots of superstitions and legends. Colinde are the Xmas carols and there are lots of them, it's an entire branch of popular art.
