The Village Museum Bucharest

2008-08-02T19:53:00.004+03:00

If you're ever in Bucharest, don't hesitate and visit The Village Museum, i'm sure you won't regret it. It dispays a specific romanian setting, on the Herastrau lake shore - at present time it is considered one of the biggest and oldest outdoors museum in the European continent.

Last year I've become a fan of the resort Antalya (Turkye). I think here you can find the best hotels for a reasonable amount of money. It's quiet, nice, clean. The food is excellent, and it doesn't rain. :D

Extravagant

If you are a traveler, you have enough money and you haven't seen Florida until now I recommend you an extravagant trip with luxury yacht charters. After such a cruise you will love the ocean even if you have sea-sick. Enjoy!

Maramures Region

2007-01-05T15:20:00.000+02:00

One of the most visited region in Romania is Maramures. It is attractive to the tourists because the popular traditions are still alive in this part of the country and the religious events are really special here. The region is situatted in a valley enclosed by mountains. The area is forested, and pretty inaccessible. The main attractions here are: Merry Cemetery from Sapanta, Borsa Ski Slope and Mogosa Ski Slope.

The Merry Cemetry "is famous for its colourful tombstones with native paintings describing, in a an original and poetic manner, the persons that are buried there as well as scenes from their lives." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Cemetery). Some photos of Sapanta Merry Cemetry can be foun at Govoyage - Cimitirul Vesel . Photos of Borsa Ski Slope and photos from Mogosa can be seen at Govoyage - Partia Borsa and Govoyage - Martia Mogosa.

Pictures of (some) Romanian Roads

2006-11-18T13:14:00.000+02:00

Prahova Valley (Ploiesti - Bran)

Oradea --- Cluj-Napoca

Huedin (Oradea, Bors) --- Cluj-Napoca

Cluj-Napoca --- Alba-Iulia

2006-10-08T22:57:00.000+03:00

Although Bran Castle does not have anything to do with Vlad Tepes (known as Count Dracula), the Bran Castle is known as Dracula's Castle and many people travel to Bran hoping to find a piece of Dracula there :).

I've been to Bran last week and I am publishing for you some photos from the castle. Enjoy!

Rustic Romania

Images of Romania (Bucharest, Peles Castle, Dracula's Castle, Merry Cimitry from Sapanta, Brasov...). The movie is nice but I think they choose the wrong music.

2006-09-13T14:29:00.000+03:00

Romania - Simply Surprising

2006-08-16T14:41:00.000+03:00

The second movie about Romania I have found on YouTube:

This one is a little bit older but it is more complex and it covers more touristic objectives.

Bucharest (Bucuresti)

2006-08-10T00:14:00.000+03:00

Bucharest… an old, dusty and historic city. It is the capital of Romania. Whoever arrives here, for the first time, could feel its mystery.

Firstly, one will notice its grey color (that is because of the houses most of them painted in grey)… but once he has the courage to take one more step, another world seems to reveal in front of his eyes – a place of friendship, music, light and magic.

The entire city is old – lots of the houses, one can admire, are real “heroes” which survived the earthquakes and storms. From place to place imposing new buildings come to life each year.

As one may see in every capital, crowded streets and noise are not shy to show up. In this case, there is always a spot one can run off all these: the parks –true oases of peace and beauty.

Words are not enough to describe the exact feelings one has when actually visiting Bucharest.

Romania Presentation Movie

2006-08-05T14:58:00.000+03:00

"Surfing" on YouTube I have found some very nice movies about Romania. This is the first one and the others are coming soon.

The movie is very suggestive. It presents so many symbols in only one minute:

A violin - The Composer George Enescu
A cathedral and Moldavian monasteries - Orthodox Religion
Old part of Bucharest - "The Little Paris"
An old plane - Traian Vuia
Beautiful girls... :D
The Danube Delta with fishermen and traditional clothes
The Black Sea
Bucegi Mountains - The Sfinx
A gymnast - Olympic Champion Nadia Comaneci
The Dracula's Castle.

A New Header Image (from Apuseni Mountains)

I have added a new header image. It is a part of a picture shooted in Apuseni Mountains, somewhere between Runc and Costesti.

Brasov

2006-08-02T23:02:00.000+03:00

The territory of Brasov County is superposed on two big morpho-structural units: the Carpathians and the Plateau of Transylvania. Few counties of Romania can boast such a harmonious combination of natural tourist potential with the cultural and historical values.

The City of Brasov has always been appreciated by all the people from Romania and other countries. The reason of this attitude may be the geographical position, the history of the buildings, the fresh air that surrounds you, the people and their behavior... It could be anything... Maybe it would be better to come and see for yourself why it is so well viewed.

If you need to know what totally melt me down in this county…..it was the variety of sports that you can do no matter the season and the possibility to stay overnight in best conditions and lowest price (motel brasov)...this in fact is a huge deal.

Cluj-Napoca

2006-07-20T16:24:00.000+03:00

Cluj-Napoca is the biggest city in Transylvania Region. It is the most important cultural center in Romania with over 100.000 students for a population of 300.000. Here you can see the Austro-Hungarian influences everywhere: in the streets, in the buildings, in people. Cluj-Napoca has a growing industry. The most important is the IT Industry with over 150 companies.

Accomodation in Cluj-Napoca: The City has tens of hotels and villas with prices starting with 30 eur per night:

Arieseni, Apuseni Mountains

2006-06-24T11:58:00.000+03:00

Arieseni Resort is located in Apuseni Mountains in Transylvania Region. It is a new resort and it is growing and growing each year. At this moment is has only one ski slope but there are some more slopes in project. If you are planning a trip to Apuseni you can find accomodation at some villas like Vila Vank Arieseni or Cabana Verde Muntii Apuseni and if you are affraid that you have to much spear time you can ask Apuseni Adventure Team to organize an expedition with 4X4 vehicles in the mountain.

If you would like to see more about Arieseni and Apuseni Mountains I invite you to visit the Apuseni Photo Page.

Baisoara, Cluj Area

2006-06-20T13:56:00.000+03:00

Baisoara is a small ski resort in Cluj Country, not far from the city of Cluj-Napoca (50 km). There is a hotel and many cabanas like Villa Baisoara. The ski slope is not that long (1 km) but is good enaugh fot the people that live in Cluj Napoca and don't have enaugh time to go to Poiana Brasov, Borsa or Mogosa.
