Romania is situated in the southeastern

part of Central Europe and shares

borders with Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria,
Black Sea, Ukraine and the Republic of
Moldavia. Roughly the size of Oregon,
Romania is the second largest country in
the area, after Poland 19,64 million
(2017).
 Bucharest is the capital and the largest
city of Romania, as well as its cultural,
industrial and financial centre. Its
architecture is a mix of historical,
interbellum, communist era and modern.
 It is full of funky bars, including `Caru` cu
bere`, Bucharest`s oldest brewery with a
stunning interior design and authentic
food.
 There is also Lipscani, which is filled with
loads of great night life and surrounded
by medieval streets. `Macca Villacrosse
Passage` is a pitoresc passage way right
in the centre of the old town, with a mix
of bars, caffes and a lot of places to
enjoy this beautiful city.
 Then there is `Palace of Parliament`
which is the world`s heaviest building
and, actually, it is the second largest
administrative building in the world, after
the United States` Pentagon, near
Washington.
 If you are looking for more old town
appeal, then you should check out
Sighisoara. . It is full of cobbed streets
with extremely colorful houses around
every corner. Walking through this town,
feels like you stepped into a fairytale. It is
one of the most preserved medieval
town in Europe. And it even has a spot
into the UNESCO world`s heritage list.
The historic clock tower and the idilic
square are filled with many restaurants
where you can have a taste of the
traditional Romanian food.
 Sighisoara was also the birth place of
Vlad Tepes, who was the original
inspiration for the tales of Dracula.
 Brasov is the capital of Transylvania. Here, you can
visit the `Piata Sfatului`, which is the heart of the
town and a great place to eat out. Head here in
the morning and you will practically have the
place for yourself, but by night it is a different story
as the square comes alive with the busting crowds
and the culture all around.
 You will also find one of the narrowest
street in the world, it is called `Strada
Sforii`.
 `Black Church` may also attract visitors
with its gothic architecture, it seems to
be the largest gothic church in Eastern
Europe.
 Romania is well known for its castles.
 Bran Castle is the place where the legend of Dracula began.
It seats on a top of 200 feet cliff in the middle of Transylvania.
Vlad, the Impaler, made this castle its home and walking
through the narrow corridors you can feel the history through
these walls.
 There is also `Peles Castle`, a fairytale like
Romanian palace, this is one of the most intriguing
castles in Europe. It is the formal home of the
Romanian royal family and it is surrounded by
breathtaking mountains and green hills. Each room
of the castle is decorated in a completely different
style and theme.
 Another place that you cannot miss is the `Transfagarasan
Road`. This place is also labeled `the Road to the Sky`.
Transfagarasan highway is Romania`s most spectacular and
best known road and, thanks to an appearence on BBC`s
Top Gear in 2009, now one of the country`s most popular
attraction.
 The highest point is at 2,042 metres, at Lake Balea.
It is a stunning glaciar lake and a perfect place to
stop and admire the views. Transfagarasan climbs,
twists and descends right through Moldoveanu`
and Negoiu`, the highest pears in Romania.
 Also known as the `Transylvanian Alps`,
the Fagaras Mountains are rich in unique
wildlife and scenic hiking and biking
trails.
 Romania is also known for its `Painted
Monastaries of Bucovina`. Their painted
exterior walls are decorated with
elaborate 15th and 16th century frescoes
featuring portraits of saints and prophets`
scenes from Jesus` life. Deemed
masterpieces of Byzantine art, these
churches are unique architectural sites in
Europe.
 Romanian people are engaging people,
mostly good-natured and eager to
interact with others.
 After this presentation I hope I arouse
your curiosity about Romania and I
promise you, you will find many
welcoming people there to share their
culture with you.

THANK YOU!
